Ben's R32 Gtst Build

[DJRIFT]

Oh yes I do rate a bit of gutter talk.

He doesn't moan Damo, but he did say you do when he throws a digit in ya foofa valve.

i moan at less than that Benny.

anyway this has taken a backwards step. Bens away thats why he isnt in on the action in here.

NO rain free weekends in the near future forecast so the progress is gonna be slowed right down.

[sav man]

damo's is more of an exited squeal, but a singe digit just dosn't cut it anymore.

I'll be back from Hoebart tonight, and i might move my car into the garrage, as dad's gtr needs to have painting and welding done, which is best outside.

plann will be to swap the diff out, and put the gearbox into mine next. And probably start on the wiring

You ruinning 32 or 33 box Benny?

[GTS4WD]

Been following this very closely..

Im looking at doing something similar very soon too.

How did you electronically remove the HICAS system whithout making the steering go heavy at low speeds?

you will hardly notice the steering. but the idea is and its explained in the hicas removal page is that you remove the hicas lines ect then you will have the hicas warning light on on your dash. this is turned on by the hicas computer which is mounted upside down under the parcel shelf. most people disconnect the computer which interferes with the speed sensitive steering. to keep the speed sensitive steering there is one wire that turns the light on. you simply cut that wire and leave the rest plugged in and walla no light and the speed sensitive steering still works.

have a quick look through the tutorials as i think i put the wire colour to cut in the R32 hicas removal thread.

Ben will be running a R33 pump which if mated to the rb20 harmonic balancer will be heavy anyway.

Are R33 boxes allowed in Tugga Benny? i got ben a super cheap 20 box but id never run one if i had the chance after having a 25 box. i flat shift mine and all sorts, mainly because im unco and cant drive but its pretty cool when mid drift i can slam it from 4th to 3rd with no clutch.

the 25 box is also massively bigger in size and weight and im not sure a Rb2o would have enough torque to get going. LOL

Yeh im quite certain since the regs state the housing must be original, hence you can't use a 33 box.

[sav man]

yep got a r32 box.

I prefur the heavirr steering from no hicas ecu. my gtr is set up like that.

[GTS4WD]

yeah, right..

I already locked it out hydrolically, now its just time to remove the ECU and remove the harness from it.

There are two connector plugs n the back of the hicas ecu. I have already disconnected one from the ecu, the light is off and the speed seneitive steering is still working as the steering is still light at low speeds.

So, where are we up to on this

More pics please!

[Marlin]

I was just baiting you on the 33 box question.

Both you and Roy, I've spoken to Murray and have prices back, have a couple of options for you

Email me though ok

[sav man]

niiice email being sent now.

my brakes are in the post now . My car is on the back burner, I'm gettings dads GT-R ready for the state supersprint championships in mid nov.

[sav man]

got a care package from japan today

hooray the box isn't filled with dirty hypermax. Brembo F40's, and R33 GT-R rear Bremo's, with rotors, and brand new Endless CC-R pads.

The F40's are bigger than i thought, notisbly bigger than std R33 fronts.

[DJRIFT]

Ben, your house is currently more modified than your car.

hurry up and order the new rims. in Bronze

[dazzvass]

Interested to see a GTS-T in the Targa Tasmania.

[sav man]

there has been adleast 1 gtst in for the last 4 years (maybee longer)

Youtube man, there is heaps of footage on there..

[s13-steve]

very nice!

[sav man]

This is funny, you are running the same calipers as me, though i am runnng 343mm rotors rather then 324. I have a Trust Ti exhaust as well and the truly scry thing is i hve been looking for 17x9 QFs

[sav man]

there is a pair of 17x9 QF's on Yahoo now http://auctions.nengun.com/item/g79810064 , they look really good with the dish (that comes from the extra width), the qf's are pretty hard to find. I have to run 17x8 for Targa I'm running 332mm rotors.
