“Rbn1” R32 Gtr - 7 Years In Storage – Time To Restore And Rebuild.

Looking good. One thing I always thought about doing is trying to paint those cards that sit in the bottom of the doors.

But I'm to lazy for that.

Hmmm, you had to put the idea into my head didn't you?

Looks like the cardboard cards are fairly easy to take out just a few screws.

I was careful not to pull the factory glued vinyl off them to separate them from the door.

Went and got some 3D Black Carbon Vinyl Wrap today. Just got some cheaper stuff from Supercheap as those pocket cards are a bit hidden.

Cut to size and layed over. Getting the bubbles/lines out is fairly easy.

Back in and all screwed up. Gives them a nice subtle look. I used some Kiwi Grip spray contact adhesive as the door cards are chipboard with only a thin layer of paint between that and the wrap adhesive. Goes on stronger that way.

Wow! Shit that looks good. Might have to put that on my list of things to do.

That looks soo good

Got an e-mail from Racepace. Final tune is done. Very happy with the result.

[SiR_RB]

That is a solid number, the response will be amazing

[gtr jet]

10kw more than me. Damn you!

[RBN1]

10kw more than me. Damn you!

Don't think it'd make a difference in the real world, man

You running -9's? Got a link to your graph somewhere? Wouldn't mind taking a look, esp at what the boost curve is like.

[gtr jet]

Nah -7's. Standard actuators and afm's hurt my power.

Chris told me it made around 340rwkw but I told him to back it off as it's a track car and I wanted it to be safe.

[RBN1]

That's good power for -7's, man. The final tune I got is a track safe tune also. Looking forward to finally getting it on the road and then to some events this year!

I'm not complaining. I've got to learn how to drive before I get more power.

I Should hopefully have my car on the road for the 1st time tonight and 1st track day of the year on Saturday. Man I'm excited!

[Borci88]

How was the first drive Shivam? Still tossing up to go -7s or -9s, still leaning towards the -9s.

[RBN1]

Hey mate,

I've so far had the car back at 3 power levels. 298,312 & 335awkw

Compared to how I first got the car back in 2005 (standard ceramics boosted to the max - 260rwkw), the -9's are definitely a bigger turbo and respond accordingly. The -9 setup in my car pulls all the way pretty much to redline unlike the standards which hit a wall near the top end. (and you could feel it)

Depends what you're after- purely street i'd go -7's for a 2.6L. I want to eventually get some events under my belt so wanted that little bit extra so went -9's as I had all the supporting mods.

That said look at gtr jet, he got 325kw with his -7's. Awesome.

Brilliant results mate really happy for you. They are sensational numbers

[Dylan454]

Go for it, guys. Easy and takes less than an hour.

Brilliant results mate really happy for you. They are sensational numbers

Thanks mate, the -9's are pretty much maxed out now. It made far more but it's been dialed back for a track safe tune. Very happy with it, feels great and can't wait to start on a few events this year.

Going to spend the next couple of months neatening a few things and getting it ready for Road or Club reg.

[32Gts't]

Wow awesome turn out with the tune/power output. Good &

solid number. All that hard work has finally paid off.

Can't believe how good them door cards turned out,

Definitely adding that to my to do list. Good work man.

Also got some Superior Auto Creative Carbon-Look Sun Visor Cover set to cover up the tatty OEM ones.

Nice looking Man's bag ...... can i buy one and wear around my waist instead of using it as a sun visor?

Good working progress, hope to see this beast on the street sometime.
