Trailers, mmm I think we will build one, see exact costing and go from there. I only want a very very basic one. No tyre rack etc. Will be around end of the year I reckon before we look at building on

Well teh turbo might might not be a bit of a dud. Well the thing is defiantly rebuilt, shaft play is as per spec ext, but the thing took 2 weeks to gete here and was wraped in a rag to keep it clean, the box got water damaged the turbo aluminium housing got wet, and now all looks like it's got icicles growing out of it.

I am going to see if i can fix it, if not, i get my money back and a high flow.

AND begor GMB tels me i told you so. I TOLD YOU SO.

No doubt i will, just depends who is going from the south :P

9k damage hey, doesn't sound like a fair insurance reaming at all by the bodyworks :laughing-smiley-014:

and the assesor said i need a new intercooler, one of the fins has been bent since i got it. So now I get a new intercooler, I have to see the bodyworks today to make sure they order the right one, as the one that's on it now is a huge HKS one. So I don't want them putting on a hybred rip off or something.

mmmmmmm

maybe i can get the garbage dude to "reverse" into my car...

DO you think they would buy that the wheels fell off along with the brakes, unbolted the motor and everything else in the engine bay, removed the front bar and FMIC & oil cooler along with a few other things :thumbsup:

I had a look today, and the intercooler did have damage from the acident. Gave the bodyworks the brand and p/n so it all should be good :(

Shannons don't realy care about the cost, it's not their money :rant:

Of course you want to put a kit on your car, 32s look phat with kits...

mine an BN sports by the way...I ran over the vertex at the drift day haha

I've got a vertex kit (has been sitting here for a year and half :happy: ) but if i do decide to put a kit on im keen on something a little different but having trouble finding a supplier :(

The only down side is getting in/out of my driveway and using the car on a regular basis with the clearance issues with a kit fitted :ph34r:

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.

      No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️

      Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney

      I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"
