  • 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.

    • There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.
    • Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.
    • Got pneumonia, haven’t played with her in a while, but I’m back now. Previous owners cut bonnet pins into the bonnet. My choice try find a replacement or spend $15 get some pins myself to cover up. Now only one small hole to cover. looks shit now, but when the bonnet is red again. Be good 🤞
    • No R32 GTSt had 15" wheels. 205/55-16 was standard GTSt fare. 4.36:1 is standard R32 turbo auto diff. I think the manual was too, not 4.11. 4.11 and 4.08 were R33 namual and auto respectively.
