Hey guys , been on the forum for awhile never really posting just looking around parts and D.I.Y s

So I thought might aswell start a build thread for the car.

Here is my 1992 r32 gts , yer it's a gts I know , but after having a r34 gtt sedan,

S15, r32 sedan, r32 gtr x, 300zx .... The list goes on ..

I've decided that it would be nice to start with a car from the bottom and build it to my standards , and + I got it for real cheap all running :D

Any who the car starts it's life as a rb20de manual , has a dodgy pod filter that isn't even held on properly and a poor paint job

Not the best of conditions as the last owner/s seem to be a bit well.. The car should reflect there previous love towards her >>

Hope to post as much as I can when free hope there's more to come :)

So update guys just picked up a new boot and rear bar as the old one was painted poorly with a Can by the previous owner and was bent out of place . Started pulling her apart and converted her to 5 studs , looking into upgrading to braided lines but been hearing a lot of mixed feed back from them so thoughts on other skyline owners ?

A sneak picture of the missus car next to it :) but all in all quite happy with her , interior dash is fairly good no cracks or bubbles which is a plus !post-121260-13866652604734_thumb.jpg

Update

Just lowered her on tein super street coilovers , sits nice and low but still legal which I enjoy :Dpost-121260-13878950123339_thumb.jpg

And off she went for roadworthy :)post-121260-13878950499979_thumb.jpg

She passed aswell I got a gtr front and rear guards for her more so I can run wider rims and the difference in the hood was surprising post-121260-13878951345036_thumb.jpg

Haha none taken :) it's true it is I believe a base model for a skyline but it's something that makes the car enjoyable instead of just buying a turbo model.

I have an engine for her actually already lined up not going to tell anyone just yet :P but at kits just getting all the suspensions mods and braces placed in before the engine gets put In

Been along time since I've posted. Been a real hectic year but now I've kinda got the time to get back into this again so here I go.

Firstly lets start with this . post-121260-1417772987887_thumb.jpgpost-121260-14177730205505_thumb.jpg

This little one came along:)

Was a track car so I expected the worse so starting to replacing parts here and there.

As this was going on this happened

So now that cars going to insurance and have to deal with fixing this white one quicker stay tuned;)

So the car was in limp mode :( and had problems with the spark ,

Checked the Afm and changed the igniter and coilpacks to see if it would resolve it and nothing .

so after a week of pulling my hair and trying to figure what the heck was wrong I took a look at the wiring in the ecu . Turns out the Afm wiring and the wiring for the coilpacks had been hacked apart D:

So now just re wiring everything even in this weather

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
