hey all

well its been a while but i thought i might update this spot with my new car. i know its not a 4 door but its what the budget let me get. i was lucky enought to pic up a 92 moddel r32 2 door with an rb25de in it. it is classed as a race only import so i got it exteemly cheap.

i was also able to trace its post japan history (for some reason i love finding it all out) it was imported with a full GTR body kit including bonnet grill ect, on it and then sold on through 2 or 3 people untill it landed with a bloke that had a gtst race car. he stole everything GTR off it but inturn tossed the 4 stud hubs and inadiqate brakes away and put the normal 5 stud and gtst brakes on it. his plan was to use it for hill climbs because of the throttle response over the lag of his race car.

after my car got stolen i had found 2 or 3 possible new ones but after many late nights thinking about it this car was chosen mainly for the rb25de because of the possible engine combos i could do.

so after it arived at my shed myself and my handy offsider (chad) started fitting in all the gear that was salveged from the old car. this was pretty much just suspension bits. it was then decided that my rb25det gearbox would have to go into the new beast with being a drift only car in mind the strong box was the definate choise. while this was going on it was found that the NA diff was definatly a single spinner so the old auto diff was making its way onto the car aswell. this ment that everything from the back of the engine was now swapped right throught to the hubbs.

all this however caused a lot of little problems along the way with burnt bits from the fire and what not. a custom gbox cross member was also made up to fit the new box.

so the car was sitting very low and strong just a few days before an event i had planned on entering. a grass motorkhana just for fun. this was to find all the faults with it before it hit the tarmack. which it found plenty. the pic below is of chad in the car. lets just say he wants a 32 now to. haha.

the car had sat for a few weeks after this while i decided what i would do engine wise. in the end after much debate with friends and workshops i decided that for the time being it would become a simple rb25 de+t using some standard rb25det items to help it along. with future plans of a bigger turbo and head gasket or and rb30 bottom end.

all the stuff is now sitting ready to go on and i have now 6 weeks to get it on and tuned ready for super drift when it comes to tassy on the first weekend in march. 6 week plan gives me a few weeks lead up for practice.

i am not going to list to many of the mods as i dont want this car to be stolen again but one thing done slightly different was the choise of a haltech e11 to handel the engine side of things. this casuing a few dramas because of having to start from scratch with the mapping.

so stay tuned for some more updates as it all goes together.

OH and there is a pic of the unfinished vented bonnet ive always wanted to make.

looks the goods mate, glad to see you stuck with the imports

So some time in late 06 i brought my first import that came a sad demise. then i got a track car that i still have now and have just recently brought my newest addition. a R32 4 door.

its only stock at the moment and the body is about as rough as the old silver one but its factor manual and it a daily driver but ive already spent a few hours fixing bits here and there. a friend of mine is fixing and prepping a new front bar boot lid and a few other parts to help turn this into just a nice streeter for now.

i just read through the old thread and geeez ive learnt a lot since then but my passion to keep tinkering with skylines hassent faded. Between 4 of my good friends we own 9 r32s and a few wrecks and enough surplus parts to keep them running.

There is 2 original parts that live on from my silver 4 door. the diff which is in my drift car and a passenger side mirror that was removed for replacement gannadoors which is now fitted to my new 4 door after having some stuff fall on the it in my shed braking the its mirror.

back into the 4 doors damo! , good to see , how tempting is it to whack the wheels and coilovers from your track car in it?? . the side skirt off you old 4d lives on too btw , it's yellow now
