New Toy-r32 Gtr With R33 N1 Eng & R34 N1 Turbos!


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

Just picked up this R32 GTR with an R33 N1 Eng and R34 N1 Turbos with 35,000kms on them. Car has Volk C28s and VSpec 2 Brembo's up front. Car is full of goodies and is set up for track work and makes 320KW at the wheels. Apexi PFC, Oil Ctach Can, Teflon Breaded Brake Lines, HKS Drag Intercooler,Greddy Cam Gears, Oil Cooler and 11 suspension braces through out make this car drive and handle unbelivably :P

Previous ownership both here and in Japan was th biggest reason for purchasing, as owner in Japan completed a ground up rebuild in 2004 and this was when the N1 gear was added. Interior is immaculate and car is as tight as I have ever seen a R32 to be. No clunkiness with this car at all, doors are tight and quite, as owner in Japan worked for Nissan on changed alot of small rubber parts to make things work like new.

Obviously pretty happy with the car abnd look forward to getting out and using it on some track days in the next few months!!

Plans are Tint, as well as powder coating wheels black, or upgrading to 18" Black rims and maybe a carbon front splitter.

Feedback Welcome-

Jamie,

You ended up trading M3 for it?

I did Grant. The M3 was a great car and if wasnt able to trade with this GTR, would have happily kept it and enjoyed ownership.

The detail on this R32 is amazing, each time I go over I see another kool feature or jst simply the cleaness of it.

Will be driven a few days a week but wont see many Kms at all and have my wife cars for rainy days. Looking forward to turning this R32 into one of the best in OZ over the next few years :P

Congrats on the car! Nice ride.

Where does the oil catch can drain back to - the sump, the hole for the dipstick, back to the turbos?

I will check it out and let you know.

Taking it down to Geelong today, good weather and nice roads!! What a Sunday:)

Jamie,

That is nice example of 32R, good list of modifications.

How does the M3 compares to current and your previous GTR's?

Cheers

I have had both stock GTRs and heavily modded as this one is and the M3 is a totally different machine. Stock R33 GTR and M3 felt similar to me, a little bigger but the M3 definately felt lighter.

The current R32 feels like a nice smooth 5 year old car, as alot of the small rubbers, door jams etc etc have been replaced and it is super quite and solid. Then you sit it at 3000rpm and stick the foot it and it comes to life!!!! The acceleration and sound is amazing :D Definately know you are driving something special. I felt I was getting a little mature for the GTRs and especially the R32s as alot of them look either beaten up or far too sooped up for a mid 30 professional. But this one looks super classy and not overdone- Very Happy :D

I have changed cars fairly often through the years, but I can guarantee this one wll be with me for a long time!!

Just be careful with the N1 motor mate.

They still have all the weaknesses of a stock RB26 and realistically are no stronger than a stock motor in most situations - especially track work :worship:

So overfill 1ltr, and if you cant afford to break it... be careful!

Craig's car was very clean, no doubt about that :)

Nice buy, interesting to see what the final sale price was for such a car...

Thanks R31Nismoid, will definately be careful with it as I know the Oil issues RB26 can have at the track. Might even be too clean a car to track it, might sit in my garage for the 90% of its life :)

Omega36, wasnt in Port Melbourne.

    • You're not wrong, but more than a few times I've heard of people running into issues where their injector characterization isn't quite right and that approach works for that specific configuration but once they switch over to a new set they discover a whole bunch of stuff wasn't set up correctly. It's slightly more annoying to reverse engineer the OEM MAF transfer function but you already have the sensor wired up to the factory harness so keeping it around for a few weeks more while you figure out the tune is easy enough. I've seen GM also use a combination of both MAF + MAP in their ECUs before, MAF is for steady state and a calculation of the cylinder VE to correct the base VE table, then in transients it uses that calculated VE + raw MAP to determine cylinder filling somehow.
    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard
