I through i would start a new topic as i made the jump and bought a gtr My focus for this build is suspension and aerodynamics and im looking for input from other GTR owners. Here is what im start with 1990 BNR32 GTR 107,000km Engine Swap which has done 50,000km (believe it is a r33 gtr engine) R33 N1 Turbos Bosch 044 Fuel Pump ARC Airbox HKS Hipower Cat-back exhaust + decat pipe bleed value No aircon Hicas has been remove Advan 17x9.5 +19 with 235/45/17 RE001 rubber Bee-r suspension (looks to be just bee-r shocks with std spring however the car is pretty stiff but ride high looks std) Parts which i will be using from my previous track car AP Racing CP5500 Front Calipers (4pot) Endless slotted 323 disc (32mm thick) Endless cc-rg pads (front and rear) APP Braided brake lines Bride Zeta 3 seat Nismo Steering Wheel Nismo 4point harness Now i have a HKS Oil coller (Type R remount oil mount + built in thermostate) the kit is for an R33 and the lines were just long enough for me to mount it on my driver side vent on the r33 and i think this MAY be an issue if i use it on the r32 as the bov are there, Should i just sell the kit and buy something made for the gtr or try and get it to fit? Now the plan was to completely strip the interior and put a cage etc however my dad has decided he likes it so he wants to drive it on the street so that plan has gone out the window until i can convince him to buy a R34 gtr or R35 ahaha. Please note i am a brand whore ahaha! Now Suspension Setup Time. After doing alot of reaching and research i have come to two choice regarding suspension arms setup 1.Ikea formula 2.Nismo Now i would prefer to go the Ikea formula as i ran some of there gear in my r33 and just look the quality of the parts and the adjustment levels. However after reading "Merli's R32 Track Bitch" topic looks like he had issue with the Front LCA and full lock due to them not having any bump stoppers. Do you think this is enough of an issue to warrant me using nismo items (note the car will be street driven by my dad ) For swaybar it seems that everyone loves the cusco gear, so i will go with them if i can't get any ARC ones are a reasonable price. LSD i will be looking a NISMO gear; 1.5way rear and 1way, nismo have a new lsd out which uses carbon plates which i will look into and see if it is worth the extra cash. Now coilovers is were things get interesting. i ran Tein RA in my r33 and love them i would love to find some for my r32 but so far no luck. So the other opinions i have are ohlins, Kw (heard good things about them), possible HKS to start off with (something like Hypermax 3 sport however i know they are more an entry level street/track setup then a full hardcore race setup) or maybe nismo. I have found some nismo s-tune suspension however i am not too sure if they will be too soft and i don't think nismo made there hardcore suspension for the r32. Spring rate i am set on starting off with something around the 8/10 or 10/10 mark, alot of people will say thats too hard/stiff but i ran 10/10 in my gts-t and it was perfect and from what i have look at that the jap run it seems to be the normal. Have a miss anything regarding suspension that i should look into? Now onto Aero bits, to start off with i think i will just go with a front diffuser/undertray and rear diffuser. rear diffuser i may use the one i bought for my r33 but never fitted Front i am looking at getting this one Im not sure if its aero properties are that great but its a starting point. Front bumper im looking to replace with a n1 item so i can have the vents and just run the std lip. Engine Wise, im looking to keep everything pretty much stock. Just an ecu upgrade and a tune with some more boost (car feels quick enough for the time being) Thats about it for now, if i think of anything else i add it later If anyone has any input please feel free to add, i have zero gtr experience and i have learn with my gts-t that it is better to do things right the first time. Cheers Michael

what a topic! Thanks Merli for posting up all these details very interesting for a fellow gtr owner looking to turn his car into a track thingo! Those Ik LCA have got me worry not sure if i should go them or the nismo near hmm

NISMO GT block (about 2weeks ago) sold for around 280,000yen on yahoo auction so 600,000yen is abit over the top

like above. N1 block can still be bought brand new from Nissan. They normally sell for around 150,000yen to 200,000 yen on yahoo auction. (BRAND NEW) example: http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d108631287 However if your looking at a new block why not go the NISMO GT block (2.8L) set you back around 270,000yen brand new from nismo edit: for the price just jap is selling the long motor n1 i would much rather a nismo long motor http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f87398055

Makes sure you get the FIA approve zeta 3 as they make a non-fia approve which is cheaper. If i remember right the fia zeta 3 is 75,000yen for fiberglass back and 150,000 yen for carbon back. Price does not inc rail

i run 235 on mine... which are way to small i would go for 255

Hi Will R33/R34 GTR Coilover fit an R32 GTR?

Hi Just trying to get some information on R32 GTR rear pads (non vspec brembos) are they the same as the gts-t r33? as i know the disc are the same

no pics atm as the weather is shit house in perth. Its pretty much a stocker. Engine has done 50,000km R33 N1 Turbos ARC Airbox HKS Hi-Power Cat Back Exhaust (very quite) Bleed value Bee-r Suspension (just shock and spring setup no coilovers) Has had the Hicas completely removed Aftermarket front lip (don't like it going to swap back to stock lip) Came with Std Gtr rims but i since swap them over to my advan today Hopfully if i get a chance this weekend i put my Ap Brakes in it, bride seat and nismo steering wheel. So nice to drive! feels alot faster than my 350hp gts-t, and the grip is awesome! got to learn how to drive this thing Ahaha nope paul don't have that much cash

HID are illegal if you car doesnt have self leveling and washer sprayer for the headlights.

ended up getting myself a R32 GTR Lol paul your funny i wouldn't be caught dead in a evo ahaha

so ULGY but ahaha go the s13 with quads! there are sooo many parts and im sure you could get it to around 1000kg and the quads look so sexy!

yeah huge aftermarket part scene in the US can get parts pretty cheap problem is engine cost as the Type R engine hold there values the 1.8L dc2 type r engine will set you back 5-6k for complete cut (engine,gbox,lsd,ecu) and i think k20 is around 10k now thats GTR money ahaha

ahh yea your right

weren't they all convertibles ?

S13 with n/a sr20 with quads? problem also with 86 is the 4age its hard to get good power out of them. mate build a work 4ag with huge hks cams and major headwork (stock bottom end) and only push 145hp i think at the rears or maybe it was 170hp cant remember i hate to say it buy if you want NA and lightweight honda is the go EG civic with a b18c or k20 will net you 200hp+ sub 1000kg and be very quick only problem is they are FF

hmmm looks like i may have just became a girly man

Cheers

Hi Just wondering if the R32 GTR brake lines are the same as the R33 gtst, (just the end which connects to the body main connects near the calipers?) Cheers

Steering is fine. which is odd cuz like you said it should be heavy without the control unit aka ecu edit: might have the double check that the control unit isn;t there but im 100% sure i didn't see it and just saw the plug hanging down (will check when i see the car tonight)

nope its been remove. everything for the hicas is gone i think this may be the reason why the hicas light is on because its looking for the hicas ecu? however i will double check the power steering levels just incase. edit: from what i was told hyperdrive remove the hicas system so im thinking it was done correctly and maybe i just need to add a constant power to the hicas ecu plug so it thinks its there

Hi Just got a question, for an r32 gtr, if the hicas has been completely remove and replace with a lock bar (complete ecu system remove). Is it normal for the HICAS light to be on on the dash? and if it is what is the best way to turn it off? (remove the bulb?)

pussy! if its got abs rip that shit out no uses!

Hey, Can you send us a pm on what is around track spec GTR? price wise in japan? trying to work out the price of a track car in japan but so far only been using yahoo auction and there isn't much choice atm

want to help me find one?
