Hi Ppl
My name is Mick and this is my R32 GTST
I have owned plenty of cars althou this is my first import
03 XR6TURBO 455rwhp , 4 Vl calais turbo's one a calais aero turbo , supercharged 929 mazda
To cut a long story short i bought this car and went to register it and came back with the fact that the engine in the car had been stolen and not yet recoverd..,,,, see here : http://www.skylinesa..._1#entry5764020
Car was stock with just a cat back exhaust and 19'' rims
Any way i decided to purchase a new engine from silver gtst off the forums so i ended up with a low k (98,***) auto RB20DET travelled down to sydney and picked up the engine hoping for a decent running engine it was already out of the car.
OK so now i had the task of swapping the engines over and doing a major service on my new engine , timing belt ,water pump, crank seal , spark plugs , belts alot easier doing it out of the car (first time doing a major service btw)
ok so old engine out next to the new one
Can you tell which is my new motor? haha
Time to fit up my China spec turbo , now i bought this turbo from a factory in the midddle of china and the same guy makes crankshafts , cant be to bad can it? lol
as you can see big differece from stock althou i need to port the wastegate hole which i didint do while it was out
So while the bay was empty i installed a gktech solid steering bush and removed the aircon
The clutch didint look to healthy to while the gbox was off the engine i bought a Exedy hd clutch (nothing to serious , rb20 boxes are like glass imo) and had the flywheel machined
time to remove the auto spigot PRICK of a thing ok so all was bolted back together and started to think about installing my new engine
Bought a GTR fibreglass front bumper , car had a m spec bumper on it when i bought it
ok so after a weekend or 2 i had a running car
Time to get some rego and drive the thing
Had a little bit of fun at a ghetto skid pan nothign big as this was not long after i got it all running
