R32 Gtst Build

[jamie curran]

Hey guys, bought the mrs a new car after selling her 'Holden Astra Lemon'. Its a Black 1992 R32 Gtst Manual and its in terrible condition.

We bought it with around 170,000km on the clock. It has rediculars sun damage on the exterior and interior, but we only paid $4k for it

I'll be posting pics soon as i have already started the project and bought some parts.

BTW this is my first real build as i haven't done much to my R34, or worked on RB20's before, so ill be needing plenty of help with different things along the way, I look forward to your comments!

UPDATE!!!!!

So a bit more info on the car;

Mods - GReddy Side Mount Intercooler

HKS Twin Power Ignition

GTR Wheels (Correct me if i'm wrong)

Cat Back NUR Spec exhaust

Custom dump pipe and bashed out cat

Bosch 044 Fuel Pump and surge tank in boot

Its running approx 13psi (actuator rod wound up)

Intended Mods - Widebody

Fresh lick of paint

Rota GTRd 18x10or12 - anyone know what would be better for 50mm wider? 10's are +12 offset and 12's are +20

That's all for now...

OK guys so here is a few pics of the car after we picked it up and starting to give it a clean out!

So there you go!

After a bit of a look around for some spare parts we found an ad in the classified section that suited our needs perfectly as the seller was in townsville and had pretty much everything that we needed for the interior

THANKS sLyLinE.32!!!!

Here are some pics of the parts we picked up

We also grabbed a new centre console because the original lid had shattered underneath the leather, and we got new air vents for the dash! very cheap too!

And finally some small progress on what we have done to the car so far...

BOV INSTALL!!!!

Thanks to Simon-S14 for the heads up on how to block the oem bov!

Yes i know the White King lid is dodgy as hell, already got a proper blanking plug on the way courtesy of STIG MICK! Thanks mate!

So let us know what you all think so far!

Looks like a good starting point mate, a bloke came into my work once about 4 months ago, he had a 32 in way way way worse condition then this, almost all the clear was worn off, interior was destroyed all he really had was a drivers seat and a steering wheel. althought he had a big 26/30 under the bonnet, man it was good fun going for a test drive . All the best, watching with interest

[jamie curran]

@lucaas

well im glad its not in any worse condition that it is now haha

*Small update*

Ordered a widebody yesterday, so that should get here some time next week from SA.

Will post up 'unboxing pics' when it gets here
