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

    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

    • Edit: It's now known as "R Performance" and is still in operation.
    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
