i got my r32 gtst about a year and half ago so a lot has been done to it so its quiet a large 1st post going through what it was like and what it is now witch is a forged rb25. when i got it was a stranded rb20det with a turbo back it had all the rust cut out and a gtr bumper modified to suit the gtst and had a full respray which was perfect at the time a untouched engine and a good body. it was fine for about 6 months until i went to the wakefield with mates and my turbo decided to blow. so here are some photos of when i got it and when my turbo blow up.
r32 bromance
greedy intercooler did a top job stoping it all from going into the engine
the exit hole from the explosion i was at around 7000 rpm when it went pop
so after i blew my turbo up i was planing on just replacing the turbo then i meet grub from imposible fabrication who ended up being a top fabricator and also a a fabricator who i could trust and didn't rip off and was full of great advice. so i ended up getting a high mount manifold made a new dump and modified intercooler piping all to suit the td0625g
slightly shorter piping that also didn't go over the hot side of the engine and in my eyes i thought looked a lot beta
so i had that set up for a while then the motor decided to blow in a tunnel when it was hitting gate hard
so the rb20 came out and i was going to drop in a rb25 and ended up forging the rb25 but while that was getting done i got board and made a vented bonnet,gtr wing,stereo install. and surge tank.
this is a stranded gtst bonnet cut folded and welded to make it like a gtr. im not a fabricator so i made it up as i went it turned out will i think'
this is the boot install i made it sounds nice and i can still fit the shopping
as a head unit i used a samsung tab 3 for some thing diffrent
im pretty happy with the out come i always believe you should try do it your self or you will never know what you can do
so i got all that done and while i was doing that i made a parts list and went and ordered all the stuff for the engine
