Bnr32 - Once In A Lifetime Build All Gt-R Owners Must See


Recommended Posts

i suggest to change the oil pump too ,

my r34 motor oil pump died on me at 8000 rpm at 620hp to the wheel, u dont want that to happen to u and need to take the motor out again :)

Yep, no way I am taking that risk!!

I think the brand new Tomei oil pump was one of my first additions to the ever growing parts pile...

Must have missed putting a photo or two up of it...will get onto that ASAP

A few more additions below:

1. Hi Octane cam cover baffles

2. Hi Octane Racing custom oil/air separator (still 1 x fitting to be added + painting)

Reimax oil pump gears in the standard pump is a great option too

Never really got time to look into this option. Mechanic said get the Tomei pump or otherwise dry sump it!! Brand new Tomei pump came up at an unreal price so that was that...

Looking good, Welsh plugs - all new - yes? and all hoses, under inlet all new - yes? You don't want to be playing under that side after!

Ha these are probably the last two items on my list! Have been struggling with part number for hoses under plenum for weeks...

Another critical item complete!

Capacity increased to 8L whilst retaining standard pick-up and sump depth

Looks promising...great to see you playing out your vision! When you expecting to turn the key? :cheers:

Ah cheers Steve. Motor is currently going back together and MAYBE will be done by EOY, but that's a BIG maybe...really trying not to rush any aspect of the build

I think she have come a long come the end of Jan..but turn key may not be until March at earliest..will depend on paint work progress

Haven't got too much left to get ordered/sorted so starting to get excited!!

think i know where this car is. did you buy a remote off me at sone point?

Chris, not sure what you mean mate, I haven't bought a remote from you...?

Few more parts to add to the pile:

Who are you using to rebuild motor?

PM sent

Thought I should share the most important piece of my build design concept:

IMG_5838.JPG

I came across this old school metal HKS emblem in a local Jap wreckers and got it thrown in with a Nismo flywheel (which is now subsequently not not needed and is FOR SALE - PM me for details) I purchased...

I have always loved the signature colours of HKS (green & purple) and have used this emblem as a basis for my complete engine bay design and with the car in general...

Will let the photos do the talking...updates coming soon

Haha GOLD background you mean?! I wish man...this was the only one and I was frothing ha, right place right time!

Just read your build thread. Nice write up man, way to keep the suspense.

Its refreshing to see people giving to original Godzilla the attention they well deserve :)

Cheers Tim. Haha yeah doing my best to keep you guys interested...hopefully will live up to my expectations

    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
