Hi Chris you going well with this build, nice sunroof save. I'm with you over preferring power over noise. Did you see these e-bay guards?

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT

can anyone tell me what the text is in the top corner of this?

R32_GTR_N1_Oil_cooler.pdf

found the part numbers for it

thess are the 9302 P/Ns

21308-RN581 - bracket

21300-05U20 - cooler kit

08110-6161E - bolts (10)

cannot find prices on these at the moment. looks like a phone call on monday to osaka...

Translation

1. "oil cooler installation will interfere with the existing air conditioning condenser". "if you want an air conditioning condensor, use a kit with this number" from this company Kenso phone them...

2. to install this will make air conditioning difficult!

ok:

tonight removed:

rear tailshaft

front tailshaft

engine ancillaries

this is so I can get the box and engine out a bit easier. the top two engine/box bolts are a bitch to get at. I also ground off the rusted wiper gear in the front. all of that went in the bin as its all past its useby date. I'll order new stuff after I get more money to do so. the rear wiper assy - I have a spare motor now - the nut was so rusted on that I had to cut it off as well and in the process destroyed the threads that hold the lot together. the engine will be out hopefully before the weekend. then the glass comes out and I start getting chemical burns from cleaning.

out of curiosity I pulled the head off the RB20. cylinder #5 rusted. cylinder #6 - black as. headgasket let go I figure and took the rest with it. EVERY line on htat head was catcus wit rust and crap. the entire lot is sitting out side ready for the scrap metal guy to pick up. I kept the cam covers and CAS.

next few days I'll yank the rest out now htat I can get to the back two bolts a bit easier.

spent some time looking at wheel choice. looking at 17x7s in lenso specifically the DC6 in copper/bronze..

DC6_Copper_Bronz_4c3eb1bd1f388_150x150.jpg

I would prefer simmons gold mesh but it looks like they are no longer made :blink: . I feel the lenso wheels would suit a red car - would like to hear feedback on this idea :(

been looking for a set of those. they seem to be made of unobtainium for some reason. those were my first thought until I saw the yahoo japan site.

yeah i bought mine from a guy i know that owns an import wreckers. he gave them to me for $550 with tires. we thought they were just the normal bbs rims until i got home and checked the text around the center caps. had the part number and all on it lol

Knowing you Chris if you think the BBS are best, you'll track them down! I like the Simmons option, I tend to buy second hand and refurbish, the modular construction means you could "tailor them". This interests me for GTS4s.

had simmons P86s (gold mesh) on a previous car. liked them. that was my goal but I cannot buy them anymore.

have found a 'donor' GTR for small bits and pieces local to me. that is going to get a fair bit of stuff taken off it I think. (thanks go to a darling downs member btw.)

02stagea,

ta!

its not the first one I have built though this is the first one that I have went into that much detail though.

talking to another fellow that totally rebuilt a 32 he thought he knew a fair bit about them before he started - he admitted he was wrong. I'm finding the same thing myself. there are that many 'minor' differences in these cars that its entirely NOT funny.

curretnly I'm working from 4 different chassis numbers to get what I want. 3 of them are Vspecs and one Oz GTR.

thanks to a QLD club member I actually worked out the paint on mine and what the car actually *should* look like internally and externally. if I can make it look like THIS as that is my colour I'll be more than happy.

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
