My 94 R32 Gt-R Build Diary

[Tyranus]

Hey guys welcome to my car's build diary i will be updating this thread with the progress of my beloved GT-R. Having previously owned a VL Turbo, VS Clubsport, Z32 TT 300ZX and a 2-door WRX STi it was time for me to get back into the car scene after 5 year absence. I started looking at JZA80 Supra's and FD RX-7's.. During my search i didnt look at getting a Skyline as i wasnt a fan of the Sykline or GT-R because i was vivid and hardcore GC8 STi fan boy lawl.

At the time my friend had a 300kw R32 GT-R (HKS GTS-S) he came past to pick me up after he had registered the car in Victoria. I was quiet impressed with its performance but it still failed to convince me and sway me from my STi fan-boism. After a huge drunken party i slept over his house and in the morning i needed a car to get home so he thew the keys and told me i could take his GT-R home and back to his. This is when i was coverted, snapped out of my fan-boism or what ever you want to call it. After i drove that car i KNEW i had to get a GT-R specially a R32. I was lucky enough to jump into 32/33/34 GT-R before i purchased my car and out of the 3 the R32 GT-R felt the best and gave me the most excitement plus IMO its the best looker out of the 3.

So 1 year of hard work and searching for the right GT-R a certain R32 GT-R caught my eye especially the interiror, i was so impressed that i immediately called up Shane and arranged a day for me to fly down to Adelaide. I ended up buying the car and driving it back to Victoria.. and i gotta say it was one of the best drives ive ever had! The car is modified to nearly exactly the way i want, Shane concentrated on all of the aspect of the car and not just straight line performance.

Under my ownership the car will be pushed to its max with its current -5 set up. Then i will be going down the single turbo route, cant wait for it!

Very nice indeed

[topher_]

Very nice! I know how long you were waiting for the perfect car to come up, glad you finally found one. Time to single turbo this bitch though

[Tyranus]

Cheers topher. Cant wait to go single but at the same time i cant wait to push my -5's to see what kind of figure it makes and how hard it goes.

Greddy T88-34D 22cm is on its way.. will be selling off -5s, Greddy piping, manifold etc etc.

Looks awesome. I've got a V-Spec that seems to have had the Nismo front bar and bottom lip specified by the original Japanese owner. What I think I'll do is to put an original hood lip and lower boot spoiler on like yours though. I think that they look tough as.

Is the rear bar a standard factory item or was it a Nismo spec item? The bottom of it seems to be lower than mine.

Where did you get your floor mats?

Did you get the seats re-upholstered or did they come like that when you bought the car?

[33gts25t]

Nice car mate, i too have been converted from a GC8 STI to the skyline side of things

Not to sound like a noob or anything but what do you mean by -5s?

Cheers mate. I really liked my 2-door STi but the GT-R is great. No complaints here lol.

-5's are a turbo made by Garret which are very popular amongst GT-R owners.

Cheers Mate,

The boot lip is called the "N1 Boot-Lip" so when you go looking for one type that up in your search.

The rear bar is standard. The only Nismo parts on the body are:

-N1 front bar snorkels

-N1 side pods

-N1 bonnet lip

-N1 boot lip

I got the floor mats from Ebay. Do not let that deter you.. the quality of the floor mats is VERY high! The seats were done by the previous owner. It was of the main reasons why i purchased the car i told the previous owner the same thing lol.

[GTR_NUTZ]

N1 bonnet lip already fitted or did you do it?

If you did do it, how did you do it?

[Tyranus]

Already fitted. How to do it ? Im pretty sure it gets glued onto the bonnet.

[Tyranus]

[Weapon]

Epic..

[DR 32R]

I liked the car already when it was featured on performance imports. You're improving on a great starting point.

[Tyranus]

Epic..

Definitely.

Cheers mate, ive always wanted a single turbo GT-R.. but needed a good base to start off with. Found this from Shane and now its time to strap on the T51R, cant wait!

[Tyranus]

Was wondering if i should go custom cams or stick with HKS Step 2's the power goal is 500kw or over hoping to achieve full boost by 5.5k rpm... any suggestions ?

[Tyranus]

Been a few changes in the build. After the heads get ported every component in the head will be Ferrea. I have ditched the HKS cams for custom made billet 280 IN/EX 11.50 lift cams + HKS Cam gears.

Engine getting prepped for removal.

It has begun.
