Hi There South Aussies!

Just wondering if my old R32 is still around, down Adelaide way.....

It was bought from me here in Sydney by a young bloke named Samir in 2009, who was from Adelaide.

It was a gunmetal grey R32 GTS-t type M without the side/rear skirts or wing, it was fitted with the following:

Standard wheels

HKS pod filter

3inch S/Steel catback exhaust with no intermediate muffler

Clear front indicators, with the bulge out fitted with orange globes & wired to the park lights (VERY hard to miss!)

HID Xenon headlights

Nismo variable rate springs, 4 point adjustable dampers & castor arms

Nismo 260 km/hr cluster (bought brand new 0k's, had nearly 9,000 on it when I sold it)

2 1/16" ultralite Autometer boost gauge mounted on the steering column

Blue LED dash kit including boost gauge, underdash front foot well & under front seats for rear footwells

Panasonic chrome headunit with remote & pioneer speakers behind stock speaker grilles

Momo steering wheel

Original Dealer sticker above rear tow hook (in pics)

Met up with Samir in Adelaide just after I sold it to him. Only changes it had were a P plate in the window & a GTR badge on the boot?!?

Would love to find out what happened to my old pride & joy, as it was very clean, & I'm sick of wondering about it!!!!!!

Pics attached!!!!!!!

    • Duncan:- it affect both sides.  Driver side is worse.
    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
