For those of you who know me I thought that I would start a little thread on the "re-build" of the Silver R32 Gtst that we know and love (well I know I do)...

As you may know, my R32 has been around for a while (since selling my R31) and has gradually undergone just about every bolt on enhancement that you can get... But it all came to a sticky end on June 21st of this year when we went to Wakefield Park.

I somehow managed to pop a less than 2 year old Garrett GT30/71R turbo, break an Xtreme clutches ceramic button clutch, badly damage the flywheel and destroy the water pump all in one lap!! (It must have been Reece's fault cos he was riding shotgun when it happened).

Anywho... I have a new Exedy clutch, machined flywheel, genuine Nissan water pump and best of all a brand new Garret GT30/76R turbo!! :(

For your enjoyment I will be adding updates as the rebuild progresses :)

Cheers

Mick

I bolted the new turbo up to the manifold last night... Its a very snug fit! I may need to install an engine damper to reduce engine movement because the wastegate actuator is VERY close to the strut tower! :(

This is a comparison between the old GT30/71 and the new 30/76 (its definitely bigger!).

Can you take me for a spin when it's up and running plz?. Considering which turbo I should get, would like to see how yours performs.

Certainly can Chris, when its all finished and tuned Im hoping to make 250 - 260rwkw I dont want to push the engine to hard (standard internals).

what a nugget

Mini Twoogle? :(

      Rebuilt Rb25det issues

      I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side

      Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.

      Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
