Glad to have met you on the SAU cruise mate. Good work on the updates, your car looked great and I'll make sure to bring mine next time round it has no issues.

RBN1 from bitter experience - drive it as much as you can.

took my dirty stinking datsun to Sandown (drive it about 4 times a year) and in the first session developed a misfire (coils/ ignitor).

thing is these things are simply getting old and maintenance starts to add up...

Front right driveshaft. Oh well RPM did mention that they needed looking at last time it was in.

easy fix that brother. go down to your local Repco dealer and ask for an outer CV boot for an R32 Skyline (they will match it to a Toyota Part no.) - they cost $13 bucks (by two to make with worth your while) and comes will all the grease and clips (although I believe the clips don't actually fit so retain the orginal ones or just buy them new) and you should be all good to go.

I had to replace mine last month and thats what I did.

the man loves his genuine tho....

i found it easier to just replace driveshafts man. yea they are more expensive, but you know youve got brand new cvs etc on there.

plus they are much easier to swap than changing a boot.

replace drive-shafts ok................then add GTR tax and your really getting reamed.

the left outer boot is much easier than the right outer boot to undo as you only have six bolts to do undo and yank it out.

peace of le cake

Car is f**ked. I would just replace the entire car. Easier than doing anything on a GTR....... :whistling:

Considering the age of the car i would weigh up replacing the whole shaft. don't want to go back in 6 months.

edit: keep in mind i has no idea on how much that $$$$$

Although I understand what you are saying Anf.

If the drive shaft is in good condition there is no need to replace it. Just ensure it is promptly cleaned and lubed before whacking it back in (kinda like a dirty hooker really)

10 bucks says he swaps the whole shaft lol

its what? 300 bucks? all new, all genuine....

you know me fellas, im all about cheap and nasty. but OP is not.

LOL.

Spoke to RPM this morning about replacing it. It's due for a service anyway :)

I almost forgot to put up why I was under the car in the first place.

Decided to pop the side skirt off to see why one of them has popped out and get them both replaced with the genuine N1 3 Piece items i'd bought a while ago.

Ended up being a good news, bad news moment.

Good news was, no Rust under the skirts.

Bad news was:

IMG_2745_zps0e0ef1fa.jpg

Front left jacking point : No wonder the skirts popped out. The sills collapsed a fair bit from what looks like, careless jacking. Have straightened the seam however, will take it to a panel beater to get it pulled out after next service.

Top view. Skirt can't adhere to the body as the sills bent in, towards the car.

Pesky GTR's.

Hmm forgot I had even ordered these until it arrived this morning.

I think I have a problem. Note to self - no more late night scotchs and sitting in front of the computer.

Carbon fibre coated interior pieces.

Hey rbn1,

Would you mind looking at the part numbers on the front section of the 3 piece side skirts? The small sections that attach to the bottom of the front guards. I need to order some from nissan and haven't had much luck on Google.

Thanks mate and keep the updates coming!

    • 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
