  • 2 weeks later...

Pretty quiet in here, has every ones cars died ? The blue R32 is still a few weeks off dammit! The new bottom end build has turned into complete new long motor build including nitto oil pump, trust sump, $1700 tomei valve springs, new valves, custom head oil drain setup and T51 turbo rebuild. Just the cams will be left from the old engine. What a head fcuk !

32GTR has been in the shed since the last bracket race. Like most gt-r owners I am spending more time and money working on it than driving it.

Also buying 2 more commodores has distracted me again and getting ready for speedway season.

Few things to sort out but I will be racing saturday. So far have fitted HKS oil cooler & DLI, Koyo radiator & silicon hoses, Kics r40 open nuts, Cusco plate relocate and Nissan oem radiator rubbers, gearbox boot & bush, coilpack loom, exhaust bracket etc. Have already removed my a/c foward of the firewall and plenty more is going to get pulled. Still got rego & other bits to fit but running out of time. I will just be out for burnouts and fun on sat.

Next year I will be buying more M/T's, stripping more weight and then probably cage time. Hopefully 10's on a budget or bust!!!

GTR and budget in the same sentence, good on ya ozzie. Then what - 10.9s or so, what then you'll need to jump in the deep end like me to go significantly faster and reliably. Your stock bottom end ain't gonna last forever, (or your box). What times it on tommorrow ? I might think about trying to get the R33 down 11.5 or better. Give me a ring tomorrow gaylord, I'm going to the cas now to try and win some R32 funds !

You know I only enjoy taking your sweet arse on the track honey :(

I will be doing my usual last minute slap together, got to buy a smaller battery because of the oil cooler. Probably head down around 1-2, racing starts at 3. Burnouts and 11.4 again or quicker on my 'budget' chinese tyres.

was a good meeting overall i think, finally got to get my car out for a meeting. ran a best of 13.099 which is pretty good i think since its only running a mailtune and only on wastegate pressure.

I didnt have any major problems out there except on the way back into town when my gearbox started to whine. will be looking for a replacement now. i didnt think it was going to hang on for long seeing as it was already crunching second and third before i went out lol

Meeting worked out well. Had the normal couple of glitches to start but things happened after the sun was going down. I ran a new PB of 12.05 @ 122mph still on regular street tyres. Congrats to Cam for the times he was firing out. Carmelo did a good job shaving a second off the mazda's times. Ryan with the capella blew his gearbox, and Benny got himself some time slips too.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
