Nice one chris but get that bumper painted! :P

yeah, will get onto it when more pressing issues like coolant leaks are all fixed, chasing my tail with the plethora of heater hoses under the inlet manifold, fix one then another leaks, time to order a silicon kit & replace the lot i think

Hey guys hoping for a bit of a thread revival, as its good to just have a flick through and see whats arround. Anyone picked up a new car (R32 obviously) or major mods or changes to you current car?

Picked my new beasty up on Monday evening smile.gif

Fairly sure i saw you down at the Plex a few wednesday nights ago? possibly on the 11th?

Well heres a few pics of my Shitter, slowly coming along droped the motor in to see how much room i have to play with etc, plenum fouls on the clutch master cylinder :( so im not sure if i can find a more compact master cyl or modify plenum (dont want to) if anybody has fitted a plasmaman plenum on a neo in a 32 and has any advise feel free to shout out :)

Obviously a long way to go, will require custom pipework etc, but its a good feeling seeing the engine sitting in the car. rather than an empty shell collecting dust in the shed.

I have a 25 in my garage collecting dust at the moment because I'm still waiting on a gearbox. Mostly due to me being lazy and only just going out and getting a proper job but there is literally none around for sale. And when there was I had no money because I was to busy smoking ciggies and drinking export (yes I realise it's cheap but there is only so much you can buy on a centrelink budget)

Dont get into this section much, but since I'm having trouble making decisions i shall ask for some advice.

So basically I've decided instead of buying another car I'm going to build my street 32 up, but....

I'm torn between the idea of a 30/25 or just a 25.

I'll have anywhere up to 10k to spend on the project and I'm aiming for around 400hp.

I basically need reasons why or why not for either of the engine options.

Any help would be great guys!

Personaly id go back to a std one however you could remove the booster or get a pedal box. Both of these options will make it feel harder to brake and are not best for a street car but are do-able

Bit of an update. Goes way quicker than before. motor.jpg

Man thats taking weight reduction to the extreem!

Cheers for the reply though a bit late haha, It was the clutch master that was the problem not brake, ended up going and getting and R33 clutch master off mayhem (always helpfull) and that basicly sits an inch further into the firewall giving me an extra inch of clearance for the plenum.

lol sorry read it as brake not clutch *facepalm*

You should see how fast I can push it now. I'm a serious contender for the Stawell Gift next year.

Oh and it is extreme by the way :)

extreme to the max???

Good to see some 32's getting some work done to them, don't see many down here anymore. Did spot a 32GTR chasing a S15 yesterday though.

Mine on the other hand is moving slowly, Work is way to busy to make any progress on her

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
