355GTS

I am going to do it properly this time. I noticed a guy selling a NISMO FINE SPEC engine on this forum so I have contacted him as I think that will be a great engine for the price. The other option is to do a RACEPACE full build with a spare block I have. I am waiting on racepace to remove the engine and assess the true damage to the head and turbos etc. I think this will determine which way I go.

Time to build a real engine.....thinking RPM works deal.

Well I went to Phillip Island and managed to blow the engine up. #1 Piston exited the block side wall.... It just went pop! Very frustrating.... Bits of piston....

Nice build mate!!! I am keen to see the ruzic controller install. Can you post pics of the wiring hook ups? Are u gonna cage it? I just completed stage one of my 32 build. I have got a few ideas for stage 2 off this thread. I will be watching how u go. Good luck.

Hi Shaun I have sent you my application and paid the fee in full today. I look forward to meeting you at Winton. Hopefully a few more people will get on board. cheers Evan

I am coming definitely. will submit app and pay fee very soon. Hope its still on!!! How many numbers have you got enrolled so far Shaun?

Hi I have put together a spreadsheet calendar of track days, test n tunes, MSCA Sprints and also Tarmac Rallies for 2013. Its very helpful when planning out the rest of year, particularly if you work away from Victoria on a roster system like I do. Track Roster 2013.xls I have attached the spread sheet. Ev

Is Andrew posting photos of your 32 online as he does the work?

I will almost certainly do the phillip island on the 28th Feb as well.

Winton is Sunday 3rd of February. Check our MSCA website to enrol. $200 isnt bad value. Also there is a track day at phillip island on 28th February through driveevents. I am booked into the 31st Phillip island and the winton sprint on the 3rd feb. I have purchased a Ruzic 4WD controller for the 32......should be interesting.

I can so verify the R32 & wife comments......She will look at you and the car with disgust..... You planning on doing the sprint at Winton Nick? I have booked in the R32 for some track time!!!! Cooling hoses have been replaced! I am also doing the John Bowe day on 31st January at Phillip Island.

Can't wait to drive it! I am going to do a photo install thread for the Ruzic.

and the latest dyno tune chart. So we are ready for the track at Phillip Island on the 31st Jan. And then MSCA sprint at Winton on the 3rd of Feb! Future Upgrades planned: I just purchased a RUZIC 4WD Controller. Will install hopefully before track day. Also purchased a launch control package. Air box - I am going to make a shroud for the pod filters out of some heat shield panels I have at home. Rear Strut Brace - whiteline.

Cage Design Form ready for submission to CAMS.

here is the car after the extra groove machined in each front shock. Front is raised up just nicely.

Hey Daboss, did you ever end up getting the Rush Anti Lag Control working? I am about to buy one for my 32 GTR. I noticed on some other forums they reported that people using the APEXI FC have had issues making the bee-R work. Something to do with earthing..... I am going to give it a go anyway. cheers.

Hi, Just wondering if you could send me a copy of the installation manual. I just want to work through if can install this in my garage or not. The car has all the linings removed as its a track car now so I assume it should be pretty easy to install?? cheers Evan

Car is currently getting some grooves machined into the front bilsteins to raise the front end up a little. Fuel pump rewired to stop it surging which created many issues up the mountain as the tank went to half empty.... Replacing cooling hoses with new ones to stop them bursting.... I have bought a new intercooler hose kit as well. Will do them next month.

Lake Mountain Tour! decided to go up to lake mountain against mechanics advise.....Blew first cooling hoses on way to Marysville. Fixable. Then blew another end of day 1. Fixable. Then blew a third cooling hose between engine and firewall on day two,,,,,,,,not fixable.......retire...... Good fun running up the mountain..... Top of the mountain!!!

UPDATE ON BUILD & TRACK TESTING: Ended up going for a set of AP Racing 356mm rotors up front. Left the stock rear brakes on the car. Car went to Sandown and managed about 7 laps had oil blow out issues from the breather lines on valve covers. Oil and smoke everywhere..............tow truck back to shop for more works. Ended up putting in a oil catch can. This solved the problem. Bilstein suspension is no good at them moment. Too low in the front. Bottoms out. Either going to machine extra groove to raise the front or replace with Teins. Job for January at this stage. Tow truck home from sandown........joy.....

Managed to get the 32 back up and running. Heading to lake mountain touring section. See u all up there.
