Hey dude,

I think EVL-33 (Brett) was considering selling some 33GTR seats. Not sure if he still is - Someone here might be able to help you contact him.

send me some pics of your 32 when you get a chance

Avram

Going pretty well :cheers: Im going to keep it the way it is for a while and hang onto my money, just been doing a few maintenance jobs. Thew a spiffy aluminium radiator catch overflow tank in though. You didnt leave me much to do.

Had a chance to do anything to the 32 yet apart from the above?

Unfortunately not yet,

they are a fat slow pig in comparison to my old / your new S13.

needs turbo/cooler/etc etc

have purchased a Apexi AVCR so I will screw up the boost in the weekend.

HEy, what sort of fuel economy (do I dare ask) were you getting from your r32? I am getting about 300k's per tankfrom a stock car????? something is amiss here! I know you dont buy turbos cars for economy but ouch! my bombed RX7 got 300k's and your silvia averages 400 k's!

what mods if any did you do?

Cheers

Christian

I agree, the rb20det was less than impressive without some major modification, unfortunately I never got to do that much. The only main performance mods were an i/cooler, full exhaust and the boost wound up to 12-14 via EBC.

300kms per tank sounds a bit ill for a stockie, but I remember my old r32 did drink quite a bit, it was on par with my V8. From memory it did about 350 to a tank driving hard on the occasion - Its been too long to remember accurately now though sorry. Hopefully someone else here can answer.

And yep, I am averaging about 400 when driving the silvia lightly - and that has big injectors, turbo, and fuel pump.

With Bride bolt on rails 138,000 yen ($1,717 AUS depends on exchange rate) plus freight with insurance which can be 45,000 yen for air $560 due to size and sea 6 weeks and 20,000 yen (dont quote me on that one) $248.

I would expect them to come in under $2,500 due to a single order, mine got a lift in a mates container so I saved their.

Worth every cent and were very easy to fit, pull the onld ones out to put the new ones in.

For the Stagea 4 bolts is all it took to mount the brackets to the seats.

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
    • There’s probably people who’d like to do it and then when it comes to putting their hands in their pockets they’ll all disappear into the shadows
