R32 Gtr! Blown A Head Gasket, What Else Can I Do?


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys, I have a 1994 R32 GTR Veilside Evolution Widebody and have just blown a head gasket, funnily i drive the car with a huge amount of respect and never give it a hard time, a squirt here and there Yes, a hard time Never. Anyway, I am taking the car in to do the head gasket and was wondering what other bits and pieces I can get done while its in there.

Im thinking Turbo upgrade, Power FC but what are the other main things without going into a re build, as my engine is very healthy,

Oil Pump??

Hose Kit??

Engine Bearings??

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Im looking to get about 300kw at the wheels on a safe tune as its my everyday driver.

Cheers.

Engine rebuild, suspension, brakes, exhaust, rings, pistons, pumps, oil catch can, fuel reg, turbo, gate, the list goes on and on.... all depends on how much $$ u wanna spend...

Good luck with the fix :blush:

Ok I have a $6k budget, Im planning on Turbo's and Power FC. I have Brembo's and new after market suspension already on it, looking at getting new slotted rotors as well. Obviously clutch will need upgrading so that will probably go in as well.

You should consider fitting an L31 stroker in, everyone knows they have much more power than an RB26 :blush:

OK....really, I'm not considering cost here but - oil cooler, turbos, front/dump pipes, oil pump, fuel pump + reg (if needed), Power FC and Exhast if needed.

Depending on K's you migth consider doing the bearings\seals and timing belt while the engine is apart.

Cheers Guys, I will chat with the boysd at Creatd and find out more about these items. Look forward to filling you in with what was done and also will post some pics of car when I get it back.

Update. Head Gasket has shat itself and Im going to do steel head gasket, injectors, rods, turbos, PFC, front pipes, clutch and shoot for anywhere between 300-340AWKW.

Will have it back next week and will post a new thread with Pics for everyone to have a squiz at and tell me what they think.

Cheers.

    • I haven't....but a poorly made one would terrify me. Surely a good second hand one is the go, as they don't work hard and no-one wants to keep one after they are finished with it A big consideration would be the weight of the shell you are putting on it....is it a fully dressed chassis or just the body
    • Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".
    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
