My R32 4 Door Build Thread


Recommended Posts

Update!!

Hey guys. thought i would update the thread.

I bought this car off the previous owner a few months back. I previously owned a black r31 coupe rb20 silvertop, but i had a minor mishap and ended up selling, so i now own this baby. I've got a few plans for it including some fresh paint, some more power and some handling upgrades.

Iv'e done a couple of minor things to the 32 since ive bought it, mainly cosmetic.

-Genuine Gtr bonnet (black)

-Genuine Gtr grille (black)

-Full amber indicators (Gtr look)

-Nismo gear knob

-Front strut brace

things going on the car in the very near future (already got, just gotta put on)

-Bosch 040 fuel pump

-GFB mechanical boost controller

-Remapped computer (jeff from the speedlab)

-New dash cluster

and here's a pic of it how it sits at the moment. Just ordered premium (CC) square plates front and rear for the complete jdm look.

BOSCH 040 fuel pump successfully installed today.

Much thanks to the tutorial in the diy section for 'Installing A Bosch 040 Fuel Pump Into An R32' thread by eXc. copied it exactly, worked first time no issues. :D

also installed new rear speakers, will finish the rest of the system within a week or so.

Now for-

rising rate fuel reg,

remap,

possibly 2 stage electronic boost controller, (profec b II)

twin 3" straight pipes from muffler back.

Iv'e Had a chat to a few people, rising rate fuel reg won't be needed, and electronic boost controller is only needed for higher boost applications (will only be running 11-12 psi through the factory neo turbo) or if i really wanted two boost stages but if i'm only gonna be running 12 psi max then theres no point in having dual stage, as the bleed valve will be safe enough.

Having thought about these factors, and from what people have said, coilpacks should be the next mod on the list as RB's are prone for having problems with them.

so that means the list is now:

Mechanical bleed valve

Remap > 11~12psi > 210kw+

Twin straight pipes

splitfire coilpacks. (eventually..)

The remapped ecu that i bought recently is tuned for a s2 rb25 running standard turbo, bosch 040, 3", cooler etc. same as what i have on 10psi making 209kw with a continuous power curve. I am taking the ecu with me back to jeff from the speedlab (local tuner who has a very good reputation for safe yet very good power figures) to get it set up specifically for my application running hopefully more around the 12 psi mark. so i don't think im too far off thinking that it should still make at least 210kw. we'll see what happens once i actually get it tuned. :P

Installed an autometer sport-comp boost gauge today ready for when i get it remapped. Next to do will be high flow cat and twin straight pipes (from the first muffler back) should look and sound a lot tougher. then remap.

    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
    • If you really want squish back, you can have it put on the piston (at least to some extent).
    • Impressive. He's very very smooth.
