R32 Gtr Complete Rebuild


Recommended Posts

Some more goodies turned up in last couple days

Not 100% happy with seats at moment, there a little dirty so will take them to detailers to have professionally cleaned before fitting and the drivers seat has one very minor little pin hole in it so will get trimmer to do something here so it doesn't get any bigger

The superstreet Teins arrived a couple days ago but only unpacked them this morning, whilst unpacking the courier also turned up with my new Whiteline adjustable sway bars :)

New corner lights have also turned up but not 100% sure if going to fit them now as i like look of N1 lights with orange corners, guess i'll just have to fit 1 and see which side i like better

I'm usually hesitant to use online foreign companies as you hear some horror stories from time to time but i highly recommend this company, very fast shipping and good service

Hey Whizzn,

When are you getting the Abflug carbon under tray as I want to get one too?

Going to wait until i get all the suspension in to see how low it sits in the front to make sure i have enough clearance. After what Chris said in earlier post he got me thinking hence decision to postpone the purchase for bit

Going to pull the rest of the spare front strut assembly apart this week and send to powdercoaters then take into somewhere to get all the bushes etc pressed into place, bring home and bolt back together on bench then take these along with car to somewhere to have fitted (dunno where yet, anyone have any recommendations here in Bris?)

No updates as of yet, my parts guy has gone MIA on me so trying to figure out things without his input (especially since he has the FAST program that would be real handy at moment)

Taking front suspension to a powder coater tomorrow and ringing another workshop since Elite has closed down to get car booked in for fitting the suspension and fixing the snapped gearbox cross member bolt

Hopefully will have more specific updates in next week

All suspension now fitted, didn't need to fit the Whiteline rear frame bushes as someone in Japan fitted solid mount items in there already so left them in there

Coilovers set in softest position at moment and feels stiff but not too excessive so still rides relatively nicely, going to wind fronts up a little though as wheels do scrape on plastic inner fender on some bumps so i think a little stiffen up will solve this

Car site ridiculously flat around corners now with no body roll at all, can't wait to get it to track to test it's limits though

Looks like i might of scored a set of HKS GT RS turbo's with not even 4k km's on them for sweet price, looking at them next week

No photo's as car is dirty at moment due to sitting in workshop and getting wet on way home lmao

Post some up when i get home in couple days

Absolutely love the way it handles now

Still waiting for the front & centre covers from RHD, 3 weeks and waiting :whistling:

Don't think i will fit them to this motor though, think they can sit in room until i build new motor, that way everything will look brand new when motor goes in :yes:

Car looks awesome mate.

I got the N1's myself and am in the process of getting them fitted up.

Makes the car look so much nicer!!!!

Can I ask what the rims, size and offset they are please? They look good :)

Will be good to watch this car progress.

Don't buy the GTRS' mate they are junk

Get yourself some -5s too many documented issues with the GTRS' will save you a lot of headaches down the track

Saw somewhere last week whilst flicking over net the HKS Racing 3071 twin top mount kit

Now trying to find it again

Rest of the covers arrived this week, the centre cover is ever so slight different colour but you REALLY need to be looking at them to see it

OK i found the turbo kit, although it is 2nd hand and not brand new which i thought it was, it's still a good setup being rebuilt around 5000km ago

So now have a Twin HKS 3037 Hi Mount kit on the way to me :yes:

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
