No worries mate.

Thats all you can do really, i didnt get the choice, just got given peanuts seeings as the car was never found unfortunately.

Looking to see how you end up, secretly hoping you keep it streeted.

Sad not seeing many 32's on the road hahaha.

ah man that sucks. Hope you moved onto bigger and better things?

haha secretly there is a chance for that happening....

i already see more ferraris/lambos than 32's these days...

They are getting rarer! especially the sedans

That's because they are all in the shop with farked motors hahahaha

or wrapped around a pole or defected or or or ahaha :|

i will keep an eye on your thread :thumbsup:

did a bit more work on it today. Headlights are finished and better than ever. I made up a custom shroud as before you could see through to the back it if 1" away haha (only i will notice the difference...).

Panels are off being painted and should be done shortly. After the it just needs matching LCAs put in and an alignment

Saw this, and thought it looked a little bit familiar. Looks like your car has turned up on the "Adelaide Japanese Car Spotting" page.

haha yeah one of the first times i drove it and parked it somewhere!

Photo must have been old then. Most people that post on there, supposedly post their photo straight away.

sorry i meant to say one of the first times i drove it somewhere and parked it somewhere after the crash.

Photo was taken and posted the same day

cheers mate.

got a bit more done on it today and yesterday

Got din gauges and boost gauge in, R34 LCAs and new ball joints also fitted

Put some kilometers on it and do some track days.
leak down test to check motor health than maybe bigger turbo / external gate setup.

Cosmetically there won't be many changes though.

After over 2 years of knowing this guy AND both having Blue R32 four doors AND both being named Cameron. We finally got both of our cars in the same place at the same time and both running.

hmm, they the same but look different, i'd take yours over the other though.. looks tougher :ph34r:

The other one is a GTS4 though :cool:

i do find picture of the front track difference funny :rofl2:

That really highlights how much better square plates are! Both cars look great man!

yeah square plates definitely suit it more

Suddenly last minute surprise track day

on the 12th of November i found out there was a spot in a private day at Mallala the next day (13th). I had realised that after putting in the R34 LCA's and getting an alignment i was now getting a bit of guard rub.

I spent the day doing Uni work as exams were fast approaching and only started to to do car prep at 5pm. I went to get a guard roller from a friend and in the same outing i ended up borrowing a harness from another mate.

I also bought a fire extinguisher because safety.

The reason i found out about the free spot at the track day was thanks to my Blue R32 sedan friend pictured further up.

In my first session i popped some cooler piping off and had to take the fornt bar off to put it back on

IMG_3469_zps1r9rqwej.jpg
I figured I'd just leave the bar off for the remainder of the day and save myself some zipties :rolleyes:

The Goodride RS sport tyres id bought over 20,000km and a few track day ago held up well and while not being the best tyre for the track, they were a good match for my skill level. bit melty but held up well

First time driving at Mallala and first ever grip day. Had a good time and car performed well with minimal issues throughout the day.
Drove it there, hammered it, then drove it home. You can't ask for any more than that!

Video
Unfortunately the Go Pro went flat before my best part of the day. Here is some matched footage from my Dash camera and a mark 1 Go Pro
Sadly this footage densest seem to contain a clean lap. warm up/dirt derp/driver pass/coolerpipe blow off
Skip to 2:17 for dirt derp. While not having any intention of setting time i managed to average a 1:27 what ever that means for Mallala

After the track day i thought i should confirm if the oil in my cooler pipes was from the motor or the turbo. so performed a quick compression test.

180+ psi and only +/- 5psi difference makes me happy. 3 years of NA+T life :rofl2: shout out to the people that said it wouldn't last 6 months +T'd

after the compression testing going well i wanted to get the full picture just in case. So I had a leakdown test done. Came back with extremely good results which meant i could go on to the next stage.

    • 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
