Mate I'm still drooling waiting for this thing to be done!

I've been told from a reliable source and someone who's actually done some testing, that the std R32 GTR wing coupled with the Nismo lip spoiler actually does make a measurable difference btw....

the electrician was almost done, he reckons we should be able to fire it on saturday.

ill post some pics up. he had done engine bay, dash, and battery cable, relay and fuse box, was finishing powering up the ecu yesterday. might have to modify one harness for the tps switch and iac valve once new intake arrives as we are not sure where they are located. job is tidy, definately not autosalon quality but fuctional and easy to follow.

got car back today, wired and ready to start. Going to crank it for oil pressure later on tonight.

Still have to fit intake in order to fire it.

Took some pictures of ecu, fuse block and relay block. all fairly basic, mounted on passenger side floor.

once the car is running i will be able to cut some more of the chevy engine harness out as it is for the BCM and not necessary. Like mentioned earlier it is tidy and functional but not show quality. But at the end of the day its a track car. i might spend some time pinning the harness up later, once we know it all works.

lets not get excited, this could go pear shaped quickly. i guess once its running we can see if the decision was a good one. Riskings GTR carnage thread has given me hope lol. i guess they all look the same once they are busted up.

Looking good. I sometimes think I should've put an LS1 in my car...

Looking great!

And with the wiring, the important thing is that it works... And anything is better than the origional wiring...

I am going to get my car from my cage builder this weekend, so I can finally work on the car again...

Good luck with the start up of the engine! :(

There's a bunch of 'glass ones around, but no lighter than stock from what I can gain from those selling them.

I removed the hinges and torsion bars (approx 3.5kg), cut out the support reo underneath up to the area where it meets the boot seal (approx 2.2kg), but kept the centre reo from the boot latch to the leading edge of the bootlid.

Then, pinned the front down, and used the original latch to hold down the back, mainly because with the spoilers on using two pins for the back would be difficult, and I couldn't be stuffed tryin to source T-handle spring latches. The cable will still unlock it, but I'm using a spare key Jinkai'd into place permanently in the boot lock as without the torsion bar spring tension the boot doesn't really "pop" open.

soon mate, i have a friend coming around to upload a VY Commodore tune into it and adjust injector trim to suit the 42pounders. Also has to eliminate the anti-theft security stuff.

Once that is done it should be good to go. I have had a small set-back with the intake but should get it today. It still may require milling as the heads and block have been. Will trial fit it and mill if necessary. Obviously ensuring the port matching is perfect is important on a NA engine. Then some plumbing to the new fuel rails. In a perfect world that should happen this week-end, but we know how things go.

How are the car going?

Got it started yet? Still waiting for videos of the car running.. need some inspiration for my car... :banana:

      Its also very clearly made to take business away from https://theskylineshed.com/ which is legitimate and even has a physical address.

      The 'About Us' got me ..  I added something to the cart and clicked 'check out' and none of the payment options in the footer (ie those with buyer protection) were available. Stay the hell away from this one.

      R32gtst rear wheel bearing

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No. Not true for any non-GTR R32. I think even the GTS4 has the GTSt knuckles with eye type lower shock mounts (as opposed to GTR fork lower shock mounts). The only R chassis in which something like the quote claim is true is the R34, on which the turbos have the fork type and the NAs have the eye type. **Edit: Actually I reserve the right to be wrong about the above statement. It might also be true on R33s. My memory on those shitboxen has faded too much.

      It's a scam. It has all the telltale signs: - The "business" doesn't have a physical address or really any kind of information listed - It's using a generic online store website template - The prices are ridiculously reduced. To good to be true cheap - Everything is in stock and can be ordered in any possible combination   I've seen a few of these for other products as well. Things like sunglasses for example. I'd say stay away from it! And maybe reach out to the real theskylineshed and let them know this exists. I doubt there is much they can do about it, but still.   I don't know if they would actually take your money if you ordered something. Or whether it is just for collecting credit card details to scam otherwise. I'm not game or stupid enough to try it.
