Hi Guys,

I own a R32 GTS-t and i am deciding what to do with the car. I am currently seeiming

to have a lot of trouble with it and its starting to piss me off. It seems that something just

has to happen to it. for instance;

in the last couple of months this has what has happened to it;

front wheel bearings have gone

suspenion all way round has gone including bushes need to be done

clutch has gone. (been fixed but now ***ed again)

leaking water into right tail lights

window seals

among all those things that seem to just go wrong im currently battleing a caught case

in regards to the Veilside kit that i had installed for the reason below;

was fittted with text screws in the side (front bar and side skirts)

wrong colour paint

cracked the kit in more that one spot (like every corner etc)

melted the front bar with heat lamps and the indicator.

front bar pushed on to far.

and there is more to that. It also looks like the whole front bar was heated to long and has

melted the whole thing in general as i have to big shrink marks under the lights.

among this im just getting pissed with the car in general and cant enjoy my ride anymore.

My quetion to you guys is that what do you honestly think i should do

sell the car and cut my loses maybe buy a R32 GTR or R33GTS

or maybe just get something completly different and leave the whole skyline thing.

Here are some pics of the car

unfortanelty the pics dont do justice to as much damage that the spraypainter has really done.

anyway hope u guys can help me decide what to do with the car

I guess you could have picked a better crew to fit your bodykit, however the other things are just general wear and tear, sealing rubbers and suspension bits get old and tired after 10 to 12 years. It's a fact of life when you drive a 10 + yr old car

If you have spent money on it getting it to how you want it, stick with it or at least set yourself a budget not to exceed with it.

The downside to listing all the problems above is everyone on this forum who is a potential buyer is going to either be put off or be able to knock the price down based on the above problems.

WTF?!?!

They screwed the bodykit on with screws on the outside?!?!

What complete and utter morons! I suggest you post up those photos and the name of the panel beater in the WA section so everyone knows the quality work they do!!! :uhh: :uhh: :uhh:

I'd be piiiiiiiiiiiiiissed!

the general wear and tear stuff is gonna happen to any car. but I can see how you would be annoyed. I worked hard on my GTST (white 32). the whole works, everything short of the turbo and ECU were changed. but I decided that this car wasn't for me and now I'm impatiently waiting for my GTR.

but it looks nice, maybe fix it and keep it. they are hard to sell at the moment

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
