hey everybody, I'm new to the forum! But I figured i start a build thread for my 32 gtr.

Basically i always wanted a 32 gtr and after owning a few commodores i thought it was time to actually get one. i bought it about 2 years ago with the intention of building a nice street gtr by starting with a pretty cheap base and starting from there.

So after searching for one for a few weeks i decided on this one, it is a Dark blue 1989 model with minor mods and mainly just rough around the edges due to the previous owner neglecting it. So i made a deposit on it and picked it up a few days later and on the drive home the oil pump gave out due not being serviced for quite some time. So i started saving for bits and pieces to have my first try at building a forged bottom end. Due to a lack funds I tried to do as much as i could for just a basic first build then in time i could redo it when Ive got the money to fund it all.

Heres the specs so far, let me know what you think

Engine: R32 rb26 Block (decked, honed and dipped), R33 crank (reground .020 and balanced), tomei sump baffle, tomei oil restrictor, eagle Rods with arp bolts, Wisco 86.5, N1 water and oil pumps, Nismo thermostat, ACL race series bearings, all new genuine nissan gaskets, braided turbo lines, rebuilt r33 turbos with steel wheels, SplitFire Coils, Mspec 50mm radiator, blitz mesh pods,aircon removed, powdercoated cam and belt covers with a polished coil cover, gizzmo electronic boost controller and excedy button clutch

Exhaust: Apexi N1 3" stainless exhaust with aftermarket downpipes

Suspension: HSD HR Coilovers, Hicas lock bar with hicas completely removed

Wheels: 18x10 +15 Rota Grids with rays nutts

Other Modifications: UAS Big front rotor kit, inc billet caliper spacer (from a 292mm to 330mm rotor), Ferodo DS3000 pads, DBA 5000 two piece slotted rotor, apexi boost gauge, auto meter oil press gauge, hks turbo timer and Speed limit defender, N1 front vents, 5% tint on the rear section, HIDs, rear wiper deleted, modified headlights, momo steering wheel, trust gear knob and snap release boss kit.

      IIRC, it only cost me a couple of hundred dollars to get an Liverpool Exhaust to fabricate a custom stainless resonator for me to fit in the available realestate that I had under the car I actually watched as they did it, took about 1 hour to cut up the material, tig weld the body of it, and then add it to the exhaust  4"in and out, with a packed 5" body, that was about 12" long In the end, it is some blindly simple sheet metal work for an exhaust shop, and some welding

      Coc or nox of nissan skyline

      Highest combustion temperature is achieved at 14.7:1. (or, I should say, lambda=1, because 14.7 is not constant for all fuels). NOx increases exponentially with combustion temperature. So it is in the engine designer/s best interest to find a way to operate at lower than stoich max temperatures if they want to minimise NOx. If you want to minimise CO, you really need to run at least 14.7:1. Any extra fuel can realistically only ever report to NOx. O4 HCs if you are sufficiently sub-stoich, or if the engine's fuel-air mixing is up the shit. All of this presumes that the catalyst is not doing anything, of course. In reality, the cat is there, it is doing things, and how capable it is of eliminating either NOx or CO will depend on its age, quality, design, operating temperature, and how much the engine/ECU is designed to help it along, with fuelling strategies, air pumps, etc. And of course, RBs, even those with very capable aftermarket ECUs, usually don't have anything to help. They are just tuned to make power.

      It's... way cheaper than what SP have on their website? I can only imagine if I say "can you make this muffler, but entirely different dimensions outside of the spec you offer as customization on your page" it would get even more pricey. I was looking at their race mufflers or their 'ultra quiet resonators' which are just smaller mufflers. They start at $166 USD which is $264. SP mufflers resonators start from $299 and are too long/not wide enough/can't be made short enough.

      This is a marketing ploy.
