T's R32 Gtr

[infamous_t]

Took the old girl for a decent drive up the coast this arvo and took some happy snaps with the iphone' date=' thought it was as good a reason to throw up a showcase as any.

I've had the car 6 years or so, a 1992 R32 GTR imported fresh from Japan, brought over with nothing more than catback, rims, pods and 80thou on the clock.

Here it is when I first got it...

Anyway... I enjoyed it like that for some time, daily driven +400km a week, probably put 70K on the odo in the last few years.

Then about a year ago had a small accident, I didn't need the car for work any more, so it became a catalyst to take the car off the road and do more on the car.

Replacing bits here and there, completely removing others gets us to today

Ah thread finally approved

[SiR_RB]

Very clean car mate

[infamous_t]

Small update...

Had the 32R booked in for a comprehensive detail with OCDetailing today, I'm pretty stoked with the result

Hopefully next update will be for go fast bits

[RBMunkie]

Looks so clean and tight mate. Lucky you. :-) Jealous. haha. MORE PICS!

[r32-25t]

Love the new wheels, they look fantastic

[psikazi]

Nice gtr, the silver with the clear indicators really suit it...

What's next

[infamous_t]

32R's tail shaft has started making a bit of noise.

In keeping with the "if it dies, replace it with something better" theme of modifying, I've got a CF one piece shaft on the way

[marksuxass]

Let us know if that shaft give you any vibrations! Most carbon shafts do unfortunately

Can only be less than the amount of vibrations I'm currently getting LOL

It's a strange thing, some people report problem, some don't.

Not sure if it's brand specific thing (ACPT group buy dramas comes to mind), or other problems resonating though, or simply that you just need to spend a little extra time doing things like shimming up gearbox mounts to get the tailshaft angle perfect.

Find out soon enough I guess

[infamous_t]

Soooo I bought more stuff...

Trust Intake piping

Nismo LSD Pro diff + reinforced bushes

Do-Luck beefed up ignition harness

[SiR_RB]

anymore info on the do luck wiring harness?

[infamous_t]

Thicker/higher grade wiring than stock, around the same price as a replacement OEM harness, ~$200.

This version (there's 2) also has direct wiring/earth back to the battery.

Should hopefully equate to a stronger, more reliable spark... e85 ready

[infamous_t]

So I got the car back today, to say the car drives very well is an understatement

The guts of the work I needed done was to get the car driving well before looking at power upgrades later in the year.

Wheel bearings, rear diff, tailshaft were all changed up for new items, while the subframe was removed for some restoration...

The Nismo 1.5 way diff was sent off with the old diff to get sorted, the subframe was dropped for powdercoating and fresh bushes all round.

Now I'd always suspected my subframe was a little bit special needs, but when it was dropped it was best compared to my favourite yellow fruit.. the banana.

So a replacement straight subframe was obtained... some stripping, sandblasting, powdercoating then sent off for rebushing and some basic alignment settings, finished product had this baby looking brand new.

Had a comp test done... which came up fairly good, happy considering its a +160K RB26.

So now I know the motor is still healthy, the car drives straight & well, no random vibrations (just the good ones), and it will put the power down nicely.

From here it's time to let my hip pocket recover for a little bit and enjoy driving the car again, then I'll focus my attention to some power increases, which the plan is now for Vipec + -5s + poncams + e85

[Tuffzilla]

Absolutely beautiful mate, I'm after a set of N1 side skirts and Trust pods myself. Do you know what brand you got and if so how's the fittment? Cheers

[infamous_t]

Figured a bit of an update was in order...

Sent the GTR in to get the Galvsport touch towards the end of 2014, basics are:

Garret -5s twins with all hot side pipe work ceramic coated (ported ex. manifolds, mines dumps & front pipe)

Tomei Poncam Bs (260 / 260 @ 9.15mm)

GReddy intake kit, but with K&N pods with custom joining pipework to get it sitting in a good spot.

Vipec plug + flex fuel sensor + ecu controlled boost solenoid

Walbro e85 fuel pump + ASNU 1100cc injectors + Nismo FPR

Galvsport signature airconditioning restoration!

Misc servicing and replacement of perished OEM hoses & wiring

I've had the car back about 3 weeks now (thanks for opening up over xmas break Josh!) and it drives amazingly... certainly has renewed my love for the car!

Aircon makes immensely more enjoyable to drive on hot days!

With no noticeable loss in response from 34R+dialed in stock cams, but power band pushing well past were the old setup fell over, coming through corners I find I'm in the sweet spot of the powerband.

As I said to Josh after the first proper drive "f**k she's quick!"

Although the 98 tune is complete, the car still needs to go back in for a day to finish of the flex tune... something that couldn't be avoided due to xmas shutdown without being without the car a further 4-6 weeks.

This also means there is more to come, which greatly excites me!

I'm currently trying to touch up the car where she's got a bit rough over the years, fixing up interior further and cleaning up the engine bay with new bits and cleaning of the decades of grime.

I don't have any new photos or dyno charts at the moment, but as no one likes walls of text, here's another pic from the Galvsport Barbagello Track day.

[infamous_t]

Greddy intake pipe work, thinking about redoing them with black joiners and black coated pipe work.

A relocated PS res to free up some room might be the go down the track.

Flex sensor and some sexy fittings hiding behind oil filter

Planning on doing a boot mounted reservoir, once done I can get both pods nestled low near the bumper feed, but setup works perfect for now.

You can also see the colour difference between panels where I've managed to clear off the 20yrs of grime.

Loving the induction noise of the new turbos and intake setup, stock bovs make a bit of noise now too LOL

Also shows the garage defend air guide I installed a while back.

I'll get a proper catch can eventually!

[infamous_t]

Absolutely beautiful mate, I'm after a set of N1 side skirts and Trust pods myself. Do you know what brand you got and if so how's the fittment? Cheers

Pods were 2nd hand off here so unsure... N1 side skirts were JSAI and the fitment was rubbish.

[Sinista32]

good up[date

[Gts-t]

Loving all the updates, galvsport seems like a quality workshop. I'd love to see better photos of the fitment of your wheels. Can never have too many photos of LM gt4s
