I'm Coming To Perth.. My (tko's) R32 Is Coming Too


Recommended Posts

I'm *finally* leaving Japan after 5 long years and will come back to Perth... don't say it! I know Japan is really cool etc, etc, etc, but when you gotta go, you gotta go (no I'm not running from the J-cops! :lol: )

I remember meeting Nizmo and others at Little creatures about 1.5 years ago, so I'd really like to meet up with the SAUWA guys again.

I've actually sold the wine red R32 to Trent at TKO (he just happens to be my little bruvvah :ph34r:) so the R32 will become a demo car for TKO! I on the other hand had to make do with an S13 Silvia... I know, I know, talk about 'down-grading'! But anyway, I've got some plans for the S13.

Here are some pics of the R32, it's almost ready to get shipped out of Japan:

And the Silvia :)

My wife is coming too (in December) so I hope some of the SAUWA chicks can teach her how to drive a manual! hahaha :lol:

hrrrm.  I suppose I could catch up with you again rezz, although this time I hope you don't expect me and ken to look after the japanese girls again!! :ph34r:

Hahaha... I've still got the photos from that outing mate.

@ tigeryas: I'm sure I can help you out with some Japanese cussing etc...

@ Gts_evilution: I tried to drift *myself* only once, and that was in a friends R32 here in Kobe... as for teaching drifting, maybe you could teach me!

@ miss_petepie: How does 7am on the 22nd Sept at Perth International sound? :lol:

hahhaha i will go to a local primary school and get them to knock something up as an exercise for them :ph34r:

Hahaha... like this?

me teach drift ahaha, i have been tring to learn of my mate who is a jap exchange student; he doesnt speak english that great, but we are getting there :ph34r:

You can make fun on the sticker on the back of my car which says fanstic power in jap (dam online translor didnt work ahahah)

I think a Cruise is in order for Rezz return what you say people? maybe a sunday one again with a BBQ at the end

coming back to the fun and excitement of perth huh?????

You betcha!

... are you implying Perth is boring??? Well we'll have to make it more exciting then won't we :)

Might actually make an appearance at a SAUWA event, just for you rezz :)

adrian :)

Yeah come along!

Maybe when our cars land it might be better for a cruise? Trent and myself will want to 'christen' our cars in style with a big convoy of Skylines down on the South Perth foreshore... eeerr... for sure... :ph34r:

Dont get caught in customs Rezz - declare your YEN!

On this Aussie show 'Border Security' this english teacher from Japan didnt declare his cash and he acted like he didnt know how much Yen his cash converted to.... and it was something like $30 000 AUD - what a dumb arse.

and Welcome back :ph34r:

I think a Cruise is in order for Rezz return what you say people? maybe a sunday one again with a BBQ at the end

Haha bbq? we can get Rezz to cook up some teriyaki chicken, tempura, sushi, etc etc... i'm sure you learnt all of that as well as your extensive vocabulary in japanese profanity... :lol:

and when he teaches you drift it's all gonna be in japanese too...

@ Sneeza: No worries bud because I haven't got any money! :lol:

@ totoro: I look forward to meeting you (and your car) too... might have to ask you about the Japanese community in Perth too... if there is one? My wife will obviously want to meet some local Japanese for a bit of support.

@ tigeryas: I can't cook man... maybe Okonomiyaki and Takoyaki (Osaka stylez) but thats about it! And my spoken Japanese is crap too!

    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
    • You would need to paint your hardtop again though
    • I have an old R32 in the shed that hasnt moved much in the last few years and probably should see the light of day. At one point I had a Nismo 1.5 centre put in the rear diff. It is a clunky nightmare POS of a thing on a good day. To make it less painful the initial torque setting has been put on the minimum (7.0kgf-m, mid is 9.5, high is 14) and the oil changed out to something more slippery. But it is still awful and ruins the vibe of the thing. So my questions are: Given I have the original parts sitting in a box somewhere would it be better to rebuild the thing again, reverting to more purity? Is there a standard kit or do you just go and replace the friction plates etc and shim it the way you like it. How much initial torque does the standard R32 rear diff have? Or does the Nismo disc kit offer a better solution - the caveat being the initial torque for both options appears to be higher than the clunky 1.5 way. There appear to be two Nismo disc kits: 3843S-RS520 for 8kgf-m. 3843S-RS521 for 12kgf-m. Or is the easiest solution to reshim the Nismo diff to make it looser?
