Paul's R32 Gtr Track Build

[paulR32gtr]

I wonder what Cliff is up to now..... running a muck on the mean streets of Lisboa I am guessing, he did learn from the best on that trip.

I still have a bit to do looking forward to getting back working on it. I am just going to hook up the Defi guages I have for monitoring for now - its a bit street racer but hey it tells me when things are good / bad and the buzzers will get my attention.

Also need to sort brakes out, finish off a few things, and have also somewhat overlooked managing heat so want to do some stuff with that.

I was quite tempted by an S6 RX7 roller that came up recently, not sure why but always loved the look of those things.

Picked the car up yesterday. Unfortunately I wasn't able to drive it due to a leaky brake line I grabbed from wreckers as a temporary measure.

Dyno chart shows normal tune (032) and against the final tune (039) after backing it off a bit for the track.

The final tune against boost. Still sitting slightly under 20psi so the motor is definitely a good thing for what it is making on 98. Chris said the way it ramps onto boost is ideal as well rather than an initial spike which engines don't like.

Just another gratuitous shot.

Cars looking good mate and your graphs are almost identical to mine. Except you'rs looks a touch more responsive and smoother haha.

[paulR32gtr]

Cheers mate.

The exhaust is also fitting the bill so far, not too noisy, not too quiet with a bit of titanium bark up top.

[Ants]

That's a very nice power curve Paul. And the car looks super tidy.

Love it!

[Russman]

Nice curve. Do they make them for men?

Haha Says the man putting GTR parts in his GTSt - you going to stroke it out to 2.6 as well?

No thanks. I get enough strokes.

Hey Paul

she looks fantastic mate. She is almost like a twin to my beast. I am still waiting on the new motor for mine. No idea where its at as the crank shaft was delayed.

330kW looks great. my other engine was running 309kW before it popped. I thought 309 was awesome power......

We will have to meet up at a track day in melbourne when I get my engine back.

[paulR32gtr]

Cheers Evan for sure! Replaced the leaky brake line yesterday and took it for the maiden voyage - temp permit all legal of course. Lot's of fun up to 80km/h - looking forward to giving it a hiding on the track that's for sure.

Needs more Cosworth parts!

Front brake calipers have arrived - will be swapping the setup on this weekend for a bit of testing.

What brakes are coming off the car?

Ha! I have about 5 pairs of ex v8 supercar rotors waiting in the wings from before this damn car of the future stuff where they changed the diameter to ~395mm.

They are 375mm x 36mm when new - you could get them down here second hand for ~$200-$300 / pair but supply has dried up (I took everything they had left!). I have a few pairs that are virtually brand new with half a mm of wear - from test days or something.

I already have the working setup on my 34, just need to get new hats and dog bones made up. Before I do that I am going to swap the setup over, but using these calipers and make sure it all works happily before we go getting drawings made up and CNC machines out.

[paulR32gtr]

What brakes are coming off the car?

Just a pair of stocky Sumitomo's on loan with makeshift brake lines!

Rears are standard as well at the moment but recently rebuilt with good pads, slotted rotors and lines, they may stay put as silly as they look. My advisers tell me that they may do the job better than an aftermarket kit so I am out to test that notion.

[gtr jet]

Oh ok, I'm still running the stockers too and looking to upgrade but I'm not willing to spend the big bucks on AP's yet. I bet they'll be bloody nice.

What a fantastic build! I'm loving your attention to detail :-). I'm doing a 32gtr build myself. I'm wondering what oil pump you are using in the engine build? Cheers

Cheers. It's a tomei oil pump but Racepace modify it a bit to get the right oil pressure for the build.

Did they drill the inlet/outlets out a bit?
