Ben's R32 Gtst Build

[sav man]

I don't know if i'll risk a TSS round before Targa. But it'll be at a couple of hill climbs and supersprints before April.

When is the Targa corse being relised?

Time for some updates

I had this green puddle appearing under the car. Was time for a new water pump.

Out with the old

And in with the new

The airbox is now complete and installed.

I found that the coolent bleeder was blocked, so I had to remove the bleeder bar and blow it out with a air compressor. Unfortunatly I broke the barb that goes in it for the header tank, and that barb is all the is stopping the engine bay from being 100% complete. We also have mounted the canisters for the shocks.

The glass has also been installed. The car should be on the road early this week for some road tuning.

are you going to put grommets in the holes on the suspension towers or leave them open?

[sav man]

Damo got me a small roll of then rubber, and i'll make some covers out of that.

[BOZ22N]

Very keen to see this thing run.

It is looking good.

[Beer Baron]

ME SO HORNY!!

love it mate. looking very nice now. I think you should let me borrow it for a while. i have too many cars so I'll happily give you a 2 for one deal for a quick swap. it's so nice. nothing un-necessary just all the right gear to go fast. it's probably my favourite car in this section at the moment.

im boycotting this thread till smaller pics are used

[eightsixboy]

Just went through the build for this, well done it looks awesome, cant wait to see some footage of it running.

What sort of power are you expecting from the motor? Interested to see how the rb20 highflow goes, i'm thinking of going that way on my rb20 to.

What paint did you use on the rockers?

[sav man]

Hoping for 210-230 rwkw on BP 98, and 240 - 260 rwkw on E85

we used vht crincle paint for the rockers.

[PHaT MR30]

You soft carnt wind the wick up! You wouldn't want to get passed by a Porsche or anything

[sav man]

it'll have all the boosts the turbo can push, cause we all know a wrecker RB20 can handle 40 pound all day everyday

good work mate!

[DJRIFT]

epic size pictures or not it does a skid.

ive been the first witness.

just stealing bens glory of telling the world.

[sav man]

Well the car got it maiden run up the road and back tonight. It's getting wheel aligned tomorrow morning, then i'll start tuning it.

[Roy]

So with AFMs being the nightmare they are, the radiator/intake beunbg reasonable solid mounted to the car, the AFM solid mounted to the radiator/intake...is there any concern over vibration and failing AFM? Given its on the inlet side i would be trying to throw some silicon either side to dampen any vibration it may be seeing

[Lonewolf1983]

how much was the turbo hi-flow and who did it?

Interested to see how responsive it is

[sav man]

I recon the AFM will handle it

Billit turbochargers high flowed it, was about $1600. I'll get a better idea of the responce when I tune it tomorrow. But the inital reaction is that it's pretty responsive on the limp around tune.

[UNR33L]

Looks great, that airbox is tops IF the AFM does break just tune without the AFM? but yeh looks like there is some flex in that blue piping anyway should be fine.

The engine paint looks nice as well I like it going to put some braces over the top?

[sav man]

I think the Haltech can live without a AFM

Yeah i'll be getting some strut braces at some stage, just on the lookout for some cheap ones. possibly an engine dampner too, as I don't want to be replacing engine mounts all the time.

[sav man]

We put the naavigators seat in today and did some tuning. Seems to be coming along nicly.

Some pics of the car out and about to piss damo off.
