IMO get an OEM R32 GTR steering wheel for street and just swap that Sparco wheel on for when its tracked. OEM all the way.

Agreed. OEM one is pretty good.

Finding one that isn't shagged is another thing :)

Have a look into Nardi Steering wheels.

I got one.

Always wanted an OEM steering wheel.

Simple / looks clean and does the job.

But I got a Nardi, can't complain, I guess.

I'll take a geezer.

I rather like that Sparco one as it does feel great to use.

Like I said, I have been quietly getting work done on a replacement......hopefully some sneeky pics soon! :)

Black & White - PaulR32GTR's car after we had a Motorkhana battle. What an animal!

Car ran perfectly all day without a hitch. Very happy with it.

Possibly a hill climb next, followed by a track day but before that some changes coming next time she goes into RPM for a service.

Small and subtle update. Just got the car back from a service. Some minor things repaired/replaced here and there. Discovered that I had to get the rear drive shaft reconditioned. "Replaced centre bearing, machine flange to suit spicer 1350 universal, rebuild CV and replace boot, balance assy"

Shiny new driveshaft.

Now for the visually subtle but big change to the car. RPM transfer case mod. Transfer case has been rebuilt. Additional clutch plates and a few other changes internally, I believe. Also 4WD system modified, running more pressure.

Does it make a difference? Hell yeah! 4WD comes in sooner and harder and it's lost quite a bit of the 32 GTR "tail happy, laggy 4WD system" character. Have a Haunted Hills hill climb event coming up so can't wait to really test it out. Can't believe I hadn't done this mod sooner. Next stop, Nismo front diff!

That is sweet Shivam.

Can you pm details on transfer case mod i.e. costs etc....

def sounds the way to go.

Nismo front diff - should also be another epic mod (although I will go with Quaife) :thumbsup:

Saw your Quaife diff. Win! Will make a big difference going from 3WD>4WD on these cars :)

RPM mentioned that they modify the Nismo diff a little bit before it goes in (didn't ask what at this stage)

PM on the way :)

You'll most definitely appreciate the transfer case mod.

Running with new tyres at Winton on the weekend made it more apparent just how slow the 4WD system is from factory. Wheel spin city!

Few changes to Victorian club permits around the corner and a few other things happening as well atm. Instead of doing lots of events over the next two years in full roll-cage trim, have decided to slowly change it to a full registered road car in the next few months.

Have had this sitting around for a while. Standard steering wheel with sewn on leather cover. Will go on after the Hill Climb event this weekend at Haunted Hills.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
