Hello All!

Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum and just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I recently purchased a 1989 R32 GT-R after MANY years of waiting for the right time and the right car. I couldn't be more excited! It's been quite a few years since my last project car, and I can't wait to get started on this one! I live in Arizona-USA, and there are not a lot of good US based forums, and I've been trying to make as many contacts and get as much information as I can before getting started on the car. I have a friend that owns a 1990 R32 GT-R and he speaks very highly about this forum and its members so here I am!

I've attached a few pictures of my car if anyone wants to check it out.....unfortunately, I just got the car so all the pics are from the dealer I purchased it from.

See you all around the forums!

Thanks guys!  I'm not sure what the long term goal will be.  For now ,  I want to go through the entire car front to back and take care of any minor cosmetic / mechanical issues I may find.  one of the first this will probably be seats since the car came with mismatched fronts.

The car came with a factory passenger seat, but the driver seat was some no name full bucket.  I'd like to to aftermarket, but a pair of non-airbag R43 seats would be nice too.  I'm currently considering a set of Bride Euroster II's but I'm unsure of how they will fit and what kind of head room it will give me.

I've looked over all the measurements for the Euro's and the Bride type MO rails.  I'm positive they will fit in the car and I'm positive I'll fit in the seat.  The big unknown is how much higher they will sit from stock.  I've heard that the Bride bottom mount rails sit unusually high in most Nissan vehicles.  I really want to make double sure before dropping 2k on seats from JPN.

It will depend what rails you get, you can get the Bride Type-LR which is a low style, but they wont fit the Euroster's, have you considered the Gias II or the Stradia II, the are both a low mount seat so they should give you more head room over the stock GTR seats

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.

      The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome

      The thing is, once the content has been tagged we can chop and change the end result as much as we want. Its identifying the content in the first place that needs to be done regardless of the final outcome.

      Sorry @GTSBoy I thought I'd replied here. There's a new BIG version of invision coming out soon, it might be worth waiting until that happens as it contains a lot of improved functionality for tags. My suggestion would be to add a top level page (not thread) with some info on it and then link to sub pages for various topics. We could even just start really simple with 2 or 3 pages underneath it. Those pages could just have a view (like a pre configured search result) of the tags we choose to put on it. We could have some background or an intro on each of these pages. My only issue is that while admins and mods can update the existing content to contain the tags we want, new posts can have whatever tags the author wants. That said, the reason our tags are so messy is because of that, so maybe we restrict tagging to admins/mods in edits.

      Tear down before more damage, might just be an incorrectly installed ring or so and hopefully everything is salvageable.
