R32 Collection

[Grifforelli]

Nice wheels, love old school rays (first dibs if you decide to sell). You can just space in the latch to fit the gtr bonnet, thats what we did.

If that was directed at me I hope I don't have to sell anytime soon as it took me long enough to finally get them on.

They are nice and wide 18 x 10 with +20 offset all around

Real headache to fit

[-Jimmy-]

Glad to see that you got them to fit eventually.

Got my defect cleared and this is how she sits as of today.

[Grifforelli]

thats how mine sits at the moment

[-Jimmy-]

Fuuuck dude that's insane, LOVE IT. Good work, doing it right.

[Grifforelli]

the even better thing is that it isn't actually that low. So if I don't have the lip on the front then I can still make it through a majority of shopping centres

[bubba]

Ahhhh the days of sittin ya car on its' balls!

Yeah it was cool, but the best thing I did handling wise (other than some bigass swaybars) was raise mine up!

Griff, is that a GTR lip on a GTSt bar?

Indeed it is a GTR lip on a GTSt bar. (it could be a type m but i'm not entirely sure)

Got it off a mate and just cable tied it up underneath.

Does the job for me.

Actually can't wait for sunday

IMO it looks horrible!

[Grifforelli]

Without it my car is 4WD spec though!

What, with its' -40mm lift kit?

It's not actually that low

The wheels made it impossible to go as low as possible.

Are you coming on Sunday Lyell?

[bubba]

Are you coming on Sunday Lyell?

Nah dude, both cars aren't going at the moment. Sunday I hope to be bolting the engine back together!

[Grifforelli]

Hopefully I see you at the next one then.

I feel like I should take this opportunity to say shoulda stuck with the 20?

Why would I do that? The 30 was running as my daily for a couple of years, pulled it out to put some stronger rods and other stuff in, just didn't expect to break the wagon while it was still in pieces

It's going back together with a stock bottom end, ASR sump, my custom forward facing plenum/Q45 throttlebody and the highflow off the wagon. In order to be a tightass, we're knocking up some spacers so I can use some old Neo injectors that I have lying around (after a clean), 370cc should be plenty for the highflow as I'm not exactly going to be leaning on it very hard.. whatever it makes at 1bar of boost will be fine for a while.

List of things to do:

-Bolt reconditioned front callipers back on (as soon as chuckie brings them round )

-Get clutch cleaned & inspected (HKS twin for cheap cheap.. hopefully it's ok! heh)

-Bolt head & ancillaries on to block (easy)

-Drop engine in car (easy)

-Get my mate to weld a pipe to throttlebody (hard)

-Fit NIStune board to ECU (easy)

Interior will be back together this arvo and the thermo fans will be mounted and wired. Already got all my top end gaskets, just waiting for spigot bush and throwout bearing to arrive. Can put engine together but can't drop it in until I have those.

Once the brakes are on it can come off the axle stands, carport position swapped with the wagon and wagon turbo removed. Then really I'm just waiting on workshop availability which should be this weekend! Not bothering to book in for a tune until it's all together though.

[Grifforelli]

Sounds like a very tidy little 32.

Do you have a build thread lurking somewhere around on here?

[bubba]

It's not a showcar if that's what you're thinking! But under the skin she's built to take a beating

No build threads, but a lot of shared ideas

That just made my day that little bit brighter.

At least there is still some people left that aren't all about autosalon

[bubba]

Autowhatnow?

Ironic, I remember cars from autosalon having big wheels, poorly fitted body kits and lowered too low for looks and not performance...
