Hey! I know I havent posted on here for a while but for those who still remember me :wub: I have news...

Over the past 4 weeks I (and James) have been a VERY busy bee!

As some of you know, I used to be the "R31 guy" along with Mark in the SAU ACT club and I used to drive a very tidy R31 silhouette with an R33 GTs-T RB25DET conversion (187rwkw on standard boost)... BUT times have changed!

I recently bought myself an R32 GTs-T (cos R32's rule) with basically no mods (dont worry though, the 31 is in good hands), anyway long story short - I wanted my RB25DET in place of the underpowered and boring RB20DET so we set about doing the swap...

The engines are in both cars and the exhaust's, tailshafts, crossmembers and wiring are almost all sorted out, once the 32 is running again I will be bolting and plugging in a few extra goodies (approx 260rwkw) - but that is another story for another time...

Well its almost done! Yay! It should only be another 2 weeks until I will be able to show it off again.

I will post pics up soon (I still need to edit them).

I will say one thing though... This is the last transplant I do because the 2 that I have done have both started fun but ended up becoming very stressfull, aggravating and expensive!

(Its all worth it in the end though) :P

Anywho - more updates and pics soon!

(Just thought you might want to hear about the progress Jayce :D)

You guessed right! For those that never got to see the R31 conversion,let me say that Bullet32 + JESTER will have done this job with a bunch of experience behind them from the last number! Suffice to say,I'll be expecting a top notch finish in the best body shape Nissan has to offer!

Here are a couple of pics, the first one is of the RB20 after we put it into the R31 and th second is of my R32 with no engine in it (Look how high it sits!!!)...

Im trying to find the rest of the pics so expect to see more as I come across them! :(

I also need to say a great BIG thankyou to Luke (Frink) and Mark (Bluprint) for their help with the conversion, we couldnt have done it this quickly or well without you guys :happy:

    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email. (+19517081648) email is juan@bardabe.com   
    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
