Thought I might start a thread on my BNR32 that I purchased about a year ago.

Details:

Black r32 gtr

Came with a forged motor (which didn't last)

Stock everything else

Added some defi gauges to monitor things, then one night going up the freeway dropped down to 2nd and BANG!! Rear turbo blew and managed to putt home making no boost. Put some HKS 2530's on, power fc, 1000cc injectors. Made 313kw on low boost ( actuators needed adjusting) then a month after that the motor let go and lost compression :(

From there the motor let go and decided to do a full rebuild

JE pistons

Stock rods

New rings

Grex oil pump

High octane sump

Tomei poncams

Tomei valve springs

Mines baffles

Brain crower valves

ARP studs throughout

Then had some parts arrive and had the front hubs aqua blasted. post-38653-13983380344768_thumb.jpgpost-38653-13983380500416_thumb.jpgpost-38653-13983380684357_thumb.jpg

And that's where I'm at now. The motor should be back soon. Front diff is getting rebuilt with new shims, ordered a haltech platinum pro with eflex sensor, and will be getting new wheel bearings and ball joints throughout the front end.

Front support all painted, now to finish off the RHS wheel arch texture coating, clean up the BOV's then replace the rusted clamps.

Paint stripped my cooler and gave it a decent clean but not 100% happy with it so might grab a ARC item :).

    • You have (externally anyway) a lot of patience!  At the very least your patience has rewarded you financially even if you decided you were over it!! I only just read your first experience of seeing the car, that would have been amazing!  Well documented too! It must be exciting knowing there's only 10 months left until you can get it on a boat and on it's way!!!???
    • Yeah, that's when. I guess you could say I'm as patient as I am foolish(or just a masochist?🤔). I've strongly considered throwing in the towel and calling it all quits many times, and have almost done so. It's a first-world problem for sure, but I've had a pretty rough go of it, as well as other factors; hoping something good comes of all this; it has to. It definitely is half the price of the ATS and performs great, but I'd like to try something different for once. I've sampled the ATS in a friend's 32 and it's solid👍
    • I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.
    • Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.
    • Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
