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
