View Full Version : The love hate affair R32
Rite first off iv decided to start a new thread as my old one was all over the place
I was planning on fixing up all the niggly bits and selling this and buying my bros rb22
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa454/Darenm1/25914DBA-AFA2-4997-B039-7E1C2B67A6D0-10170-000009956F880920-1.jpg
But that plan has gone tits up as he wants to keep it now so il be keeping this now and have a nice few plans in store
Car has been off the road for the last 6 months as i was planning on rebuilding it and fixing everything i wasnt happy with
how it looked for a long time feeling sorry for its self
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa454/Darenm1/20121206_152208.jpg
while it was parked up i bought stich mesh wheels off driftma but sold them on again
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa454/Darenm1/IMG_20121219_142320.jpg
in the last few weeks i have done iv a bit to bring it back to how it used look
got a different gtr bumper as i wasnt happy with the old one as there was lots of filler where the N1 vents used be
Got a genuine gtr bonnet and fitted areo catches and off she went for paint

Iv also changed the rack for a r33 rack as my old one was leaking and on the plus side 33 rack is slightly wider for more lock :D
also changed the speedo cable as mine was broke
got the diff realined as it was very clunky and not locking propperly and still is(so new diff me thinks)
while i was at it iv cleaned down the engine bay gave it a full service
booked in for nct retest friday as it failed on wheels being to wide and lights need adjusting
This is now how the car looks

If ya do go down the plasmaman route make sure there is nothing ya need doin as regards fuel lines ! Solid steering rack bush or anything that side of the engine bay, as access to that side is very limiated with the new inlet fitted!

No worries man!
As for the coilpacks, go Splitfire if you want but good stock ones will be fine. Might save you a bit of dosh.

Trying to find good stock ones being the problem plus splitfire will rule out running into the same problem again i hope haha

That nistune seems to be a bit of a huer, twas in my bedroom for a long time too :p;)
hope it not in yours for the same length of time ha
Dougs14 on here has gram lights for Saale not sure of offsets etc
Why gtr injectors??you'll have to wire in resistors and there is other cheap options out there instead of the gtrs
Is the car running a rb20 standard ecu?

That is a bit of a shit thing to post up tbh lad. I know the car you are talking about and I personally don't think the hubs where the problem. I have modded plenty hubs for other people and they have been delighted. I can show anyone the lock on my car which I am very happy with.
Too many people are ready to blame things before looking properly into the problem.

Atm it will bw used for both road and track use so while i get the hang of it it will be staying silver but id say that will only be short turm as im getn ideas already lol
Iv seen billys set up first hand on his own car and cant fault it have also seen how it drives and looked just fine iv been talking to billy for months while he has been away about what we are going doing and im 100percent happy with the plans we have set in store for the car
Small little up date:
So went about puling all the air con hi cas and other lines around the bay that wasnt needed want to clean up the bay as much as i can so no time lik the present
For the hi cas i also got rid of the solinoid and cooler that runs outside the bay to get rid of all the pipes i have to weld up one of the hole on the fluid bottle as it not needed any more also took the fins out of the back of the ps pump and must block off the back hole in that
so put a good nite work down ready to order pipes for the inlet and braided hoses for the fuel line and fit my fpr also
Just random pics i took leaving tonight

Even doh these were my second choice and being unsure about them after seeing them in the flesh think they should really work
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa454/Darenm1/C1B48B8E-B15B-4544-8250-1DD40B237D22-478-000000A26FE118D7_zps3194400e.jpg (http://s1198.photobucket.com/user/Darenm1/media/C1B48B8E-B15B-4544-8250-1DD40B237D22-478-000000A26FE118D7_zps3194400e.jpg.html)
