Damo's R32 Gts-r, On Going Project Fun Car. History And Use Full Info


Recommended Posts

Hey damo, just stuff the sound shield box full of fire blankets... help cut the ressonance down.

Dude--- sucks about the turbo!

You know, I recon a nice set of red top rb20 rocker covers in crincle red would look good toooo.... :thumbsup:

just like fire blankets from bunnings or alike?

id profer to sell the cam covers at the moment but if it sitts in my shed long enough it ends up pn the car.

love it!

thanks. im happy with the way it looks at the moment. i have a picture taken from the same place same angle from my first basky day and the car has never matched it looks wise untill now i dont think.

  • 1 month later...

nearly 2 months since i updated this.

i went off and done targa with Sav Man and that resulted in my daily 4 door being a donor car so post targa we had to fix that up. the result was just a tidy up with about 20 cans of degreser used in the engine bay and a few new parts thrown at it. like split dump pipe, new ac compressor and condenser fan, strut brace, clutch pressure plate. really just shit we had laying around. i also scored some Panasport rims, gts (or N1) headlights, type M areo front bar and shaved boot lid. ill throw some pics up of it once its looking clean and tidy again.

i had some time to ponder turbo options but to see what elce needs to be fixed on it ive borrowed a mates gt3071r. ive had a few goes at fitting it as it wasnt a straight swap as the core of the turbo is stuck in a different position to mine which has ment a new oil drain had to be made and slight modifications to the manifold. id just about given up on the car over the past few weeks but i had a look through here tonight and got my thinking cap on and came to some practical solutions.

this car will be going into storage untill late 2011 after this event so i wanted to get one under its belt before parking it. i am doing a club day at my local track where i hope to brake my PB. the car is getting dynoed on thursday so between now and the 4th june i should get up some more shots of some revised mods.

a future outlook would be one of the new garrett GTX series turbos and maybe some half bread fuel. not e85 just yet.

I heard you sold the car to fund a float at this years gay and lesbian mardi gras!

Cats out now. i was going to suprise you.

Car runs again. good old RB first hit of the key and fired up.

its now 3071R equiped. s bit quieter in the cab and blitz SBC instaled.

Results = tomorow.

car now sits on 295 18s dunlop D03Gs rear.

thanks to bens help we massaged the guards out just enough to fit them. they will have to be repainted thoe as the paint didnt want to stretch as far as the metal.

will try and get pics up as soon as i fix my fing camera/phone.

Yeah mate, like the ones you buy for your kitchen... I've used them in mufflers as packing... good stuff.

-You know you want to spray those rb20 covers crinckle red and bang em on!

I'm loving the gtr intake, I think that'll be my next step once I've finished with the Trust T67 set up.

What's the next event?

Cheers

Justin

Wow, new turbo sh1ts on the old one!

I had a quick look but gave up searching, what turbo was the old one?

it was an older series turbo around the 3082r size. massive front wheel. i didnt get to realy drive it to see what it was like but it was laggy

the new one is a 3071r off a mates rb20. mine made less power with similar boost because it wont accept any ignition timing. e85 will fix this

ill be after somthing in the middle i think.

justin- the cover have gone sorry mate. im about to have a big clean up of parts i no longer need.

i got a fire blancket thanks. made a huge difference to noise.

there is a club day im entering this weekend.

yell out if you start the 25-GTR intske. ill tell you all you need to know.

Where's the club day?

I'll see how the greddy/vh45 tb combo goes with the T67. I have a couple of spare GTR intake sides in stock, as I have a greddy mani, oversize tb's and milled out injector mani for the GTR... 6 x 48mm throttle bodies- oooo yeah! ha ha ah.

Do you have a valley cover to suit the red cover rb20 rocker covers???

Cheers

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
