Overhauls Of Ex-willall 8sec Drag R32gtr

[9krpm]

Luke, I'm kicking myself for not looking at your build last time I dropped by either. From your thread it looks awesome!

It will be great to catch up again mate.

[wrxkilla]

What's happening to your other R32 GTR?

Are you going to donate the engine from that being an ex Willal setup into this project?

Looking great. Can't wait to catchup again in the new year.

Mick, I dont have any plan for the black R32 at this stage but it will likely be return to stock and for sale. At the moment I don't have time or resource to build too many race cars. I still have the honda s2000 to finish off as well.

Tackling one thing at a time at this stage.

How is your N1 BNR32 going mate?

[9krpm]

It has been slow....but is still making steady progress

I can't wait until the whole car is resprayed.

Hopefully I will then have some time to do the mechanical work coz that should not take too long to reinstall.

How is this car going?

[9krpm]

krayzie32, it's still in progress!

I bought a set of front fenders from a sponsor on here and it did not fit properly. The carbon doors did not fit perfectly as well. The car has been at a panel shop. These are finally fitted. The side skirt is being custom fitted at the moment. Then I like to get the rear bars for the roll cage redone to strengthen and tie in the rear struts with the rest of the cage. A custom wing mount is also needed.

Then it's off to the sand blaster and spray painter.

The rest of the mechanical work is easy and I can pull my fingers out to help with the spanner work;) Hopefully I can start testing it early next year

[9krpm]

Just a brief update

I was not too impressed with the cage after the last fabrication and did not have any luck to rebook the car to redo some of the work. I looked around and found another place. I had most of the additional bars to the existing cage removed and had them redone + added a few more . Fingers crossed the car should be ready to send to the painter mid this week.

I will post some more details when time permits

0-200kmph in 2.6 lol, this car ran a 8.84 1/4 and the time slip of the gtr that ran 9.2 took over 6sec to get to 195kmph and is only .4 of a sec slower down the quarter.

So if your car can do 0-200 in 2.6 seconds, then it should be capable of low sixes? you do the maths.......

[9krpm]

LOL old joke mate .... as I said chinese whisper (rumour) ..... and it doesn't matter because I have been testing the engine with a pair of Greddy T618Z turbo instead of the old T67....it will do 0-2000kph in many light years. Like it or lose it is up to you. This thread was made for some nice memoirs of the old girl and it's being made to go faster (hopefully) around the bend

Would like to see more pics of htis build.

Shut up, dickwad. No one cares.

Hey Dan, I am finally back onto some suspension work!

[9krpm]

Awesome Mike. I am back from my oversea conference as well. Will get the whip out and get this car done in the next few months. Would love to have your inputs regarding the suspension Thanks mate

[bigmikespec]

Give me a call tomorrow after COB.

[9krpm]

I am sorry that I have not had much time to post the progresses. I have been so frantically organising and installing things to get this car ready for WTAC. I am not sure if it will meet the deadline because of a couple of hiccups and my busy work schedule. Here are a couple of camera phones to keep everyone posted. Will do proper summary later on

Engine bay with the undercoat. Kim did a really good job...keep telling him it's not a show car lol I ams sure he added tons of bogs

Then Peter finished it off with gun metal colour in engine bay and boot...really good quality painting

I installed engine and gearbox at a mate's workshop with help from a couple more mates

They then snapped a picture of me with the new engine bay lol

Some more fabrication work, which has costed a bomb. I should have learn how to tig weld before this project

Off to a full time panel beater and painter because my other mates have full time jobs and can only help after hours.

Aero and fitment touches on the front fenders

Still a bit more to do but getting there

I will post some more pics when the project is finished. Hopefully it will make it to Superlap. I don't think we will have any testing time. I am not expecting any crazy fast time because I will be driving it....which is something that I have not done for at least 3 years It will be a good track for shakedown Trying my best to make it happen.
