Hi Ppl

My name is Mick and this is my R32 GTST

I have owned plenty of cars althou this is my first import

03 XR6TURBO 455rwhp , 4 Vl calais turbo's one a calais aero turbo , supercharged 929 mazda

To cut a long story short i bought this car and went to register it and came back with the fact that the engine in the car had been stolen and not yet recoverd..,,,, see here : http://www.skylinesa..._1#entry5764020

Car was stock with just a cat back exhaust and 19'' rims

2011-03-25163715.jpg

Any way i decided to purchase a new engine from silver gtst off the forums so i ended up with a low k (98,***) auto RB20DET travelled down to sydney and picked up the engine hoping for a decent running engine it was already out of the car.

OK so now i had the task of swapping the engines over and doing a major service on my new engine , timing belt ,water pump, crank seal , spark plugs , belts alot easier doing it out of the car (first time doing a major service btw)

ok so old engine out next to the new one

as you can see big differece from stock althou i need to port the wastegate hole which i didint do while it was out :(

So while the bay was empty i installed a gktech solid steering bush and removed the aircon

2011-04-17163115.jpg

The clutch didint look to healthy to while the gbox was off the engine i bought a Exedy hd clutch (nothing to serious , rb20 boxes are like glass imo) and had the flywheel machined

time to remove the auto spigot PRICK of a thing ok so all was bolted back together and started to think about installing my new engine

2011-04-16111821.jpg

Bought a GTR fibreglass front bumper , car had a m spec bumper on it when i bought it

2011-04-11135615.jpg

So i replaced the stock dump pipe with a 3'' bellmouth

increased the spool time as the turbo is quite big and a little laggy , nothing a clutch kick doesnt fix LOL

2011-05-15141319.jpg

So while the motor was getting installed i replaced the timining belt and water pump (big job for a first timer)

in went a new 52mm radiator , and would you know it big lauch and the fan hit the radiator smashed it to pieces and broke my new water pump $$$ later had it going again

2011-05-07121245.jpg

Picked up a genuine N1 GTR bumper , these things are so much bigger and bulkier then the fibreglass copys , only problem is its missing an intake vernt but im chasing one up

gave it a coat of paint in the shed

took it to DVS JEZ to get the dumpipe modded and External Msd switch wired up then tuned , was asked what results id be happy with and my reply was 260rwkw or 350rwhp . now i knew this turbo had produced some good numbers from the previous owner 350ishrwkw forged RB25 E85

Fingers crossed

      Short shifter r34

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.

      Short shifter r34

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.

      Short shifter r34

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
