As you can see i havent done any huge power mods yet, for a first car it was powerfull enough so i did other stuff first. Meaning power will be on the way soon. Starting to gather parts such as Z32 AFM, bosch 040, sard 550cc injectors, splitfire coilpacks, HKS FPR, HKS EVC V, and a HKS2530 or similar spec turbo then off to C red for nistune.

may also get some adjustable cam gears, researching benefits atm

Also have some more suspension bits sitting, waiting to go on. all the adjustable bushed nolathane sells are in my room and rear cradle bushes are at C red waiting to go into a swap cradle.

Only just had the interior done last week, still gotta order more material from nengun and get the back seat done, then get some bride DIGO's to match. then the inside is done, will just need a GTR front bar and some rims then ill be happy. looking at CE28n's or SSR type F's, thinking silver or black, what u rekon ?

oh, also have a fetish for N1 headlights so might try track some down

http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e283/thrtytwo/DSC03815.jpg

never had the car dynod but been to kwinana once and with either spinning wheels or a boggy start every run, BALD rear tyres ( bad camber wear from some burnouts ), and farked synchros in 3rd 4th, managed a 14.4 @ 99mph, so should be able to get into high 13's as it is atm

i think thats about all ive done or plan to do, that i can remember for now. Basic idea of the car is jap tuning house style, nice top shelf parts, a bit understated styling and a good all round package, but a bit more tame than that haha. will keep this car as a nice daily when i get a 34gtr :D

will get some engine bay/interior shots over the weekend

[lazy6]

looking mint dude

[31-EVO]

Seen it a few times man, looks really tidy in person. Future stuff sounds like a winner :)

[XF Falcon]

the paint on this thing looks immaculate, nice mate

[Lonewolf]

clean!

[Scaf]

nice and neat mate.

[AGIT8D]

Looks shiny as fak! Good job.

[sky_high_psi]

very, very neat car man so clean!
cant beleive the reflection on that first pic wow
personally i'd go with black rims in the future man
black on black r32's are shit hot...

[kurbn]

thats beautiful man, are those the tinted tail lights or just normal LED type? love the mirrors, they look right on the car.

great to see another person who doesnt see a GTST 32 as a Shitter, not many clean ones about these days

I suggest remove the front badge, makes the front end look alot cleaner

true that, but id hate to part with my gold badge :P will have to wait and decide when i get a gtr bar

yeh the ganadors are great, but being copys they sit on a slight upward angle, not much, but at some point i think i may order genuine ones so theyre perfectly level lol

[SEXUAL TYRANNOSAURUS]

Jamie you still got this. I hardly ever see this around anymore.

Good to see it still looks mint. Credit to you Sir. In real life the paint work is IMMACULATE.

[thrtytwo]

Cheers mate. U got rid of ur Rex for a forester didn't ya ?

Oh and bangn they're just regular led. No tint/smoke

[GTRgav]

A credit to you - tastefully modified whilst not messing with the factory look.

Of course I do have a bias for Black 32's!!

[SEXUAL TYRANNOSAURUS]

Cheers mate. U got rid of ur Rex for a forester didn't ya ?

Nah MAte,

I got rid of the rex long time ago. I got a never driven Patrol now.

[mr_mike]

See this most weekends parked down at Repco i assume u work there. Its eaither there or at a house just round the corner from where my house is being built.

[thrtytwo]

yeh used to work at repco, not anymore, so yeh, probs near ur new house mate :D

[Anaru]

Awesome work bro, I cant get over how immaculate the paint job looks in the first pic; how many polishes did that take ? :P

[thrtytwo]

well i was first owner in aus, apparently had just had a 2pac respray, but yeh, i like to keep it clean haha :P

[PAGZ]

i want your shell... clean as bro good work

[thrtytwo]

just went out to get some shots, exterior is filthy atm cos of rain, makes paint look hell dull :S engine bay is kinda scabby, will get it cleaned up at some point, thinking about getting the engine covers RB26 blue, dunno ifr it would look too blingy though, might just get that black crinkle look. also thinking bout clear cam covers, but probably bit too ricey imo.

forgot to mention the bride material i got is all black, not the usual black -> grey gradiation pattern, but the floor mats are.

you can see my boost guage and link meter there and the shift lamp on the steering column, when i get an HKS EVC ill either put it next to the link meter or in the ash tray spot, dunno yet. all the control units / turbo timer are a bit messy atm cos i took out the din pocket to fab up a better fitting one out of fibre glass, almost done then ill get a carbon fibre face plate for it.

i found it pretty hard to photograph the interior nicely but oh well. cant really tell the roof is different from stock, and all the plastics were painted to match aswell.

[thrtytwo]

just had some bridgestone adrenalins put on and they have pretty much eliminated a bit of an understeer issue i had, keen to hit the track later this month, hopefully can get my bushes installed before then.

Ordered a Carbing radiator diversion panel too as its the first one ive seen to fit gtst. will post pics once its installed

[easytiger]

I used to see this 32 in my old street in canning vale for ages, always looked clean as.
nice example

[Torquen]

super clean 32. very nice :D

[laju]

Is that tom's GTR

[Turbo2.6L]

Very tidy 32!
Nice work on the interior retrim as well champ... Looks good with the black on black Bride material :D

[kurbn]

Wow! I really love your interior! who did the bride trims on the doors? I love them very much.. and the floor mats are mint!

how come you have your catch can setup like that? its still breathing oil into the intake :S

[thrtytwo]

Is that tom's GTR

yeh mate, you work with him ? i know theres a few guys he works with have 33 gtrs and some other cars


Wow! I really love your interior! who did the bride trims on the doors? I love them very much.. and the floor mats are mint!

how come you have your catch can setup like that? its still breathing oil into the intake :S

interior was done by JC trimming ( i supplied the bride material though), did a good job, would be much more specific about what i want next time though

the catch can has a baffle in it and some steel wool in a stocking lol. i dont think theres much blow by anyways

[kurbn]

Yeh well I suppose any breathing its going to do will be on Idle as the one way valve in that fitting on the manifold will shut when boost is applied, so after thinking about it, its better having it the way you have as you dont have to block any lines off as it makes the car unstable at idle.

what did they charge you to apply the material and does it look like its going to come off anytime soon? Im just really not a fan of the vinyl look in mine :P

[thrtytwo]

price was pretty decent cos its a guy working from home, nah doesnt look like it will come off, decent install my only problem was material positioning, but i should of told him before hand so not his fault.

[thrtytwo]

Was getting serviced today so asked Marc at c red to chuck her on the dyno. Got 200.9 rwhp. Pretty happy with that considering it's stock motor/turbo. Nice smooth curve aswell. Will scan it up later

[millzy_88]

Really like this car, seen it a fair bit around CV over the last couple of years. Love what you've done with it, looks clean as.

[sam5709]

hey dude, your car has always been a clean example of a 32 and still is :)

p.s. was looking through my pics and found this haha cheers for your help that day.....
