Welcome along!

Did anyone else notice in the pics the car has high line but no mfsw....how are you supposed to navigate the menu???

I would guess it's a retrofit as the car also has an rns510?

The right hand stalk buttons navigate the menu. Some R32's also havet no MFSW buttons, although they came with highline as standard. Doesn't necessarily mean there's been a retrofit.

Hi Piston

Not aware there was a retro fit as came from the dealer as far as I know, but I would of liked a MFSW but dificult to change as would need a Pirelli one with yellow stitching so will make do with the right hand stalk for bringing up the menus.

Has anybody got any feedback on the Pivot XV muliti guage, Japanese but I think I can get hold of one here in Hong Kong, they can be swithed between boost oil, oild and water temperature I think, just plug in the and read from the ECU, wondered if anyone has used one or seen one and can advise how they work.

Check them out on You Tube they look nice and a perfect match to the clock lighting, was thinking about one in a OSIR vent pod.

Thought I would add some updated pictures of the recent mods

New Brakes discs, pads and brake lines and fluid

New boost gauge (Lights up blue and has boost, water & oil temp which I got in Hong Kong but its made in Japan)

Car after brake upgrade and prior to handling upgrade and lowering


Goodies to go on

WALK kit and anti sway on the front (Bump steer also fitted and poly bushes)

Front Bilstiens going on

Rear Bilsteins going on (Also anti sway bar and drop links were fitted) and finished off with a Biessbarth 4 wheel alignment
Also I fitted the Neospeed rear triangulated upper rear strut brace in the back (No pictures unfortunately)

All works carried out by Jon & Ben at Vagtech Milton Keynes (Top guys and thanks to them and also Victoria)

Looking forward to the next upgrades on the Engine when back in the UK so I can put the 300+ BHP through the chassis to really check out the handling.


Cheers Paul  :driver:

I prefer the manual box. Gives you more of a feel for the car as you drive. The clutch and gears are superb , really light and easy. Poke your Automatic dsg
