ok, well im ina bit of a sticky situation at the moment.

my car was invloved ina accident a while ago when sum1 went up my ass.

anywho, at the moment its at the panal beaters gettin repaired. the panal beater said to me, cause i know him.. that he'll respray my whole car for $1000.

ok, so wat the problem is, im in between deciding wether i should sell my car or not. main reason why i wanna sell it, is cause its impratical, as its my everyday car. im too scared to take it places and leave it, and sleepin at my girlfriends scares me, cause i hate her area. also, i wanna save money. but i also wanna keep it because of the pure fact thats its a beautiful car. its a relitively stock r32 gtst,which i picked up for a good price.

but im thinking, the paint is not too bad, its not like its full of scratches or anything...if i was 100% on keepin the car ill'd spray it, but if i was sellin it, i wouldnt bother, because i would think, that the 1000 i spend to get the car re-sprayed, i wouldnt get 1000 more in return when selling the car..if that makes sense.

so yea, any advice would be great..im ina really bad situation, and not sure wat to do.

plz help, cheers

do you like your r32? if so respray the 32 and keep it as your second car then buy a cheap ass VT commodore as an everyday comuter. When the 32's in the garage being modified you will at least have another car to fall back on, or the girlfriend could drive that instead of skyline :D

    • AFM looks to be a z32 The injectors maybe old Nismo 555cc The turbo tag when looked up seems to be a gt2871 , imagine it would have the bigger rear housing .82 all look like the mid 00's mods when he started building it up. Vac hose seems right but would need to see a diagram. Great work going up there and sorting it out, be a good club car for someone wanting a good reliable rig.  I know I would like to have it but no space and too many other race cars at the moment.
    • Heys guys I got a r32 gtst speedo is out by 10kph seems the faster I go the more it be out  just seeing if anyone else had to problem and knows how to fix it 
    • I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better. 
    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
