take your time in the snow, and it isnt a problem. Keep your eyes out for flat pure white spots on roads. and drops in the snow, if you see these they could be potholes. Drove in the UP of Michigan for a snowmobile trip and we took our s13's up for fun since roads were clear, and it wasn't terrible

Dolph_KYAS13 · 11-10-2012, 12:23 PM

Yikes, glad to see you're pressing on despite all the rust. Good to see a 32 build on here.

hvp014 · 11-18-2012, 07:42 PM

any new updates?

s13chuck · 11-18-2012, 08:21 PM

cant wait to see some more progress!!!

onehundredoctane · 11-18-2012, 10:07 PM

Very cool man, the R32 is one of the best looking Skylines imho. As far as the rust, just leave it, consider it weight reduction.

Yes, I'm kidding!

Sileighty_85 · 11-18-2012, 11:12 PM

car is prepped for winter as the snow is nearing

Stock suspension installed and snow tires and rims installed.

I finally got my Insurance money from when a LN hit my Subaru B4 so I can now order my Outer rocker panels.

Waiting on one of my buddies to get his hands on a R32 chassis I can rips the floor pans out of as well.

Looking at upgrading the brakes (new rotors and pads) but waiting on paying off the B4 as well, Last payment due this month.

Wasnt expecting to be so slow but the Auto Hobby shop here sucks and wont let me do anything....

Oakville · 11-19-2012, 12:25 PM

Very nice man, surprising to see an R32 rusted out like that...typically thats what you'd see in winter driven Ontario cars just cause of how much damn salt is on the road. Best of luck dude

Its actually very common up here at the top of mainland, It does snow alot up here and a combination of being a saltwater area to boot.

Thanks though.

K_style · 11-20-2012, 03:32 AM

Are you planning to bring it home as Non-op at least?

Sileighty_85 · 11-26-2012, 07:55 PM

Little update,

the front lip hardware is all rusted out so Ordered some new hardware from Nissan

Blower recirc motor was burnt out so Ordered a new one as well, Surprisingly it was only $40 from the Dealer ship. (old one shown)

Also Ordered the Outer Rocker panels, should be here tomorrow

future · 11-26-2012, 08:07 PM

How much did the rockers cost? Two million each?

it wasnt too bad they were 200 each but mine were rusted out on the front and the inside were starting to rust sooooo

future · 11-26-2012, 08:39 PM

That's really cheap. I asked a page or two back and never got a reply. How is it buying parts at Nissan? Is it like American dealers here that still rape you for everything? Or actually decent pricing in the homeland?

Draggin A$$ · 11-26-2012, 09:36 PM

Nice R32! I wish I was still in Misawa.

Did you? I didnt notice, my bad.

Buy parts at Nissan is really easy if you can speak Japanese and I bring a FAST print out with me to make sure we order the correct parts. Plus help having a Japanese Wife as Back up lol.

They dont seem to rape ppl over here. The Blower recirc door i expected around 10,000Yen and was suprised when they said 4,000 Yen.

The screws and retainers were like 100 yen each not too bad, normally i would jack them from a junk yard but pretty sure any i would find would be rusted out

Also back in 05 i ordered a bunch of transmission and Misc gaskets for an SR and only paid like 5,000yen.

So def seems cheaper

I can also buy the whole R32 Front floor Pan for about 111,400 Yen

It really amazes me they still have these parts in wherehouses

xoxide · 11-27-2012, 07:43 PM

Nice 32.. Im jealous! You need to POR15 the underside of that car/rusted areas so they dont rust any worse until you can replace the rockers, etc...

KiLLeR2001 · 11-29-2012, 10:53 PM

Sweet build. How long are you in Japan for? Do you know if the oil pump was ever changed? As I'm sure you are aware that the early year model RB26's had the oil pump issue.

Phoenix4987 · 11-29-2012, 11:28 PM

Super fuckin jealous. Skylines and Silvias only reason I wanna get stationed in Oki. Heard shit is gay over there now, so fuck it. Good luck on your car man, try to get her back this way as a "track car"

I should be here until 2016.

Didnt look like it, but i should be picking up an R33 RB26 this weekend as an engine to build on the side.

The oiling issues are really only a concern if your in the high RPM's and hitting the Rev limiter continueously

But i plan on fixing these issues with the R33 engine. Ill probably have to wait to slap the R33 engine in when i get the car back to the states cuz for importation It changes things if its not the original engine.

Dont be too jealous, if your AF's life sucks right now thanks to all the fucktards down in Okinawa

we're on curfew and some bases/branches are now on lock down and can not drink period.

Thanks, well beacause the car will be over 25 years old when i leave here I will be able to legally import it and drive it in the US.

Sileighty_85 · 11-30-2012, 03:25 PM

had a buddy order this for me for 1K. Crazy how stupid cheap these engines go for over here

R33 RB26! should be here by next weekend hopefully!
