ill let you know when there up for grabs.

cheers!

So pulled out the interior last night in preparation for the weekends cleaning / repairing / painting and found out why the hicas light was on and the speedo wasnt working. broken speedo cable. No doubt thats another fun job to fix

Just a couple of uninteresting updates....

Worked all weekend and got no where really.

Replaced the bonnet with a standard item. Removed ALL the stickers!

half way through replacing the water pump, but have decided to replace all the belts to. should have thought of that before but will order some today.

cleaned up some standard seats to replace the crappy race seat.

Took off the steering wheel to find there is no wires for the horn to work. so have to find the little piece of wire / connector 2nd hand somewhere...

none of the indicators / head lights worked. trying to do the wiring but its a shit mess.

1 step forward 2 steps back....

I remember this car from around 15 years ago!

It had the old green and gold plates that said BEAR32 I think.

I first saw this car at small car Sunday in 2000, good to see its being put into good use

Haha really?? Wouldnt happen to have any pics? Or know of the old owner or anything to get pics etc

Somewhere I do, I bought my 32 in 2001 and this was one of the cars I used to check out at all the shows. They are actual photos from film!!

I'm not sure where it is, but I have old camcorder footage of it blowing flames at a show at an oval opposite the brickworks :)

I think the owner was on here at some point too

There used to be a jap car parts shop called Peaks, back in 99/2000. The guy who owned it either had something to do with that shop or mates with them

It had s big gt wing on it then also, but no lpg system. I used to see it in town quite a bit, think the guy who owned it was a uni student

The car was also at Autosalon in 2000 and 2001 from memory

I remember it being for sale in 2003/4 also

There's more info on here somewhere but finding it is pretty hard being so old!

Good to see its still going, would have been one of the first 32 gtst in Adelaide

Hey guys just wondering if anyone would know why my r32 gtst cuts out,

I was at a set of lights stopped and my car just cut out completely, didn't stall didn't run out of fuel it just turned off kicked it back over and it stRted fine,

I have a feeling it doesn't idle right either, cold start it revs at 1100 rpm or higher which i know would be pretty normal and warm somewhere in between 850-1050 always changing and not holding a firm idle always going up and down if you can understand what I mean or is this a common 32 thing?

  • 3 weeks later...
  • 4 weeks later...

Not a whole lot has been going on with the car as of late. to damn cold in adelaide!!

The interior that was white is hanging in the shed drying, painted back to black. Plus put some lower springs on the car which will do until i find some coilovers....

And also over the weekend found a oem n1 GTR bar.

    • Definitely didn't put a N/A cluster in instead? The speed sensor (location) is different in both cars.... I think. This will obviously stuff things up.
    • Nah not the throwout bearing, it's something internal. I already replaced the throwout bearing. Mechanic misdiagnosed my car and thought it was a spigot bearing, went to another bloke who said it was an input shaft bearing. (I replaced everything when I pulled out the gearbox but didn't open up the gearbox.   In this video at timestamp 6:05 : Mine has the same sound  min
    • It is definitely to space it out and away for clearance during compression, and possibly for spring clearance to upper arm. That latter would only be true for springs that are same-ish diameter to stockers, and so that probably doesn't apply to Teins or most other coilovers.
    • Yeah, a mechanic who knows these cars told me even if I get a brand new gearbox the noise will return but will be less noticeable. I've heard someone also they this noise came back after 3,000km on a new or reconditioned gearbox. It is pretty f**king annoying though just hearing groaning most of the time lol. I wonder if an aftermarket input shaft bearing would fix the problem or how they are built.
    • All RB gearbags, especially the big turbo box, have rollover noise. Mine certainly does. Always has. Sometimes is worse than others - no particular idea why, although it is probably temperature related. I have smurf jizz in mine and have had to have it in there from the first day the box went into teh car. It simply would not select gears with the engine on, on day one, with normal oil in there. And so, the blue stuff has probably ruined almost everything synchro related in the box. But it has taken 12 or 13 years to get to the point where I simply must replace the box. It has become increasingly baulky of late, which might be symptomatic of the way I've been driving it, as much as anything. I shall have to make some corrections when teh new box goes in. Input shaft bearing noise will decrease with clutch pedal pressed because the drive is removed. But yes, more often than not noises that work like that are associated with the throwout. It won't matter either way, new box will mean this one can be relegated to the parts pile.
