Andrew - Need to rebalance it, need to make up billet adaptor plates, need to measure the OD and make sure it's built to spec... <sigh> I'll get to that dumb shaft later. I'm going to concentrate on other stuff for now.

How's your build going then? When will it be ready? Should be awesome to have two identical cars running around the track :wacko:

Yeah i'm hearing you! i was well over it when the shit hit the fan the first time!

Its going along ok at the moment, slow and i ran into some Cam problems mainly with delivery and a supplier that just kept sending out the wrong crap time after time.. the cams are going back today and a refund in order, and time to stuff around with someone else..

Bottom end had been started on just basic cleaning etc, lots of work is going on with the motor now. i've decided if it was taking a long time to have it ready i may aswell extend the time and get some head work done. 270degree cams with 10.8mm lift :) porting and all the rest, i guess turbos will be the next thing holding me back!

cant wait to hear how the exhaust sounds!! i've bought the full race version with no meow, and full titanium front pipe too.. if you get yours running before me i demand to hear the exhaust!! haha

i dont think it will be ready for a couple of months.. how far are you off yours?

Mine is running, and it's bloody loud! I love it... Definitely too much for a road car, there's no way you could live with it everyday, but it's got a throaty rumbling growl note to it...

I'll take a video of it on the weekend...

Oh, and I've got a "race-modified" cat :)

I'll go for the titanium front pipes later... I have more than enough immediate future costs coming up in suspension and brakes!

I'll build the "proper engine" in a few months... This one is still reading 160 across all cylinders, so I just went for all the bolt-ons and oil control mods... That saved me a lot of time in getting the car running (as we both know), and I'll build a second engine on the side, but at least I'll have the car running while I go through a 6 month engine build!

I have renewed motivation to finish this thing, so hopefully withing the month, it will be on the track, but it'll be a year or two before it's "finished" :wacko:

I dropped by Superlap and remembered why I was going through all this trouble and expense :nyaanyaa:

After months and months of seeing endless streams of money fly out the door and working tirelessly on a car that doesn't even move, it's so easy to forget what waits for you at the end of the road...

You need to goto a few race meets and remember what we're building these stupid things for!

So very true... without a race meet every now and then it's very easy to not be stuffed with it anymore, especially when it's been years in the build. I'm much the same, car should be done in a week or two, but it hasn't sunk in yet!

By the way, LOVE the exhaust. Absolute work of art.

Andrew, take the sump off to Leon at Performance Metalcraft. He will be able to modify the diff extension and make it fit. He has done several of these for us now.

Nice car and i am sure, knowing you, it will be a very high standard build up

Mine worked out ok, balance and dimensions in spec. I'll get around to posting the hi res adaptor pics today if time allows

Keep the faith it looks like a great build...tell me that exhaust was cheap...please :)

I gotta get up at 5am for a 6:15am tee off tomorrow :banana:

NOT how I imagined I'd spend my first day of Easter..... :banana:

But for now............ some more pics!

Buddy Club P1 Racing QF - 7.45 kgs :banana::D:(

18X10 +12 on an R32 is quite ambitious :banana:

Yes, this car will require more than guard rolling, I fear that panel beating might need to be undertaken, but I'm going to wait until we get the suspension in there and initial setup... The negative camber will give me a bit of extra clearance...

A 6:15am tee off sounds like the perfect way to start the long weekend. When we going for a game Merli im only off 12 and need more practice :banana:

Gimme a few months... I need to work on my handicap too :banana:

mate...this is gold....the only other reason I am visiting Motorsport on SAU at the moment is this thread.

Setup is awesome so far....keep it up.

P.S. Something about the R32 's still stir's the blood.....doesn't matter how many R33's, R34's I see...the R32 is still the shit.

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
