Lhd Td Hcr32

[DLP_HCR32]

Hey all, i'm new to this forum and relatively new in the Sky land...

My project consist in a Skyline HCR32 (GTS-t) '93 with few modifications.

Maybe the bigger one was de LHD conversion.

I bougth it close to stock, just spoiler removed and front strut bar.

Others mods made after that are:

- Hicas removed

- Front mounted IC

- Apexi+custom CAI

- Turbo upgrade GT2060RS (with ATP T3 turbine housing)

- Greddy profect e01 boost controller

- JIC coilovers

- Work Meister S1 17"

This car is Trackday and rides oriented, but other uses are not discarded (like drift).

ok right, stop boring you with my poor english and share some pics... (edit: i'think can't attach files yet...)

keen to see some pics on this

[DLP_HCR32]

Ok, first of all, thanks to moderators to let me post this project !

When i bought it:

Before it can go out the customs zone, it must be LHD converted and pass pre-revision tests, pics of the process:

...to be continued...

A litle bit of fresh air...

[DLP_HCR32]

About two month after rising boost up to 1 bar (knowing the possible consequences), i get blue smoke everywhere...

So, looking here and there for best turbo upgrade option (here don't have many), finally i bought a Garrett GT2860RS with ATP T3 exhaust housing (which have 5-bolt ford pattern flange) and an adapter 5-bolt -> V-Band with internal wastegate port.

This way i can keep the exhaust manifold and just fabricate the downpipe. But in the future i'm thinking run an external wg setup.

Then i reuse the original wastegate valve...

Bought a whater&oil line kit for this turbo & RB20

And the downpipe fabrication...

I can provide any details (or more pics) about this upgrade, just ask

OMG! 37Kg each door...

... a grinder please !!!

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Awesome. I really like your work.

Will you have a roll cage for safety? And side intrusion bars?

The door is now unsafe, if you get hit there, you will be crushed.

[DLP_HCR32]

Thanks mate!

Yes, very unsafe, without the bar it flex a lot, i think in a crash will oppose force at all. So you are right, the cage (with lateral bars) is a must, but here is not too easy to find a P&P one (if not impossible), and cage makers are barely existent (and good)... this is a small country too far from the rest of the world ! but i'm on that...

I have not had a chance to weigh it up yet, but i think that will be close to 10Kg with the polycarbonate.

BTW, this are spare doors, so i will keep the originals intact ;-)

some goodies and work done...

[D.I.Y. Mik]

In Australia our racing is organised by CAMS.

They set all the rules ans regulations, they have the requirements of roll cages on their web site.

If you can weld well, maybe you could make your own, and use the guide to make a safe cage.

Thanks Bodgeneering, very interesting doc!

BTW... this are...swap times...

[DLP_HCR32]

about a month ago i blew my rb20, so... rb25det swap FTW!

i bought a 25 S2 from a local JDM importer shop. Local but still thousands of miles from me...

so,...big was my surprise when i take the gearbox apart and saw this...

Front face intake plenum installation....

So far so looking good

I will reuse from rb20 the ecu (nistuned), harness (except injectors). and spark coils / ignitor...

Score with the clutch lets hope its not shagged...

Re-routing the water to bypass the heater...

In every forum i've seen, ppl just eliminate the heater making a bypass between the two hoses that go through the firewall. But in that way, the water will pass through it and not through the cooler (the easiest way). I think forcing the water pass only through the oil cooler is a better way and more similar to the oem flow design.

Another wired idea: reusing the oem cross pipe with the front face intake :-|

just cuting and rotating should be ok...isn't?

fmic...

Most of work done...

Need to finish the inyectors harness and transmision mount...

[Sinista32]

Good efforts. Nice score on the clutch too

[DLP_HCR32]

finally opted for custom pipes in 2.5" all the way woth outs for an old school Blitz BOV and the idle air...

good alignment

Bov fitted...

Almost ready for the first start...

Gearbox mount ready...
