Hey guys recently bought an R32 Gtr. I've wanted one of these beasts for a long long time and now I have one I've fallen in love, so I thought I'll keep a bit of a build diary on here!

It's a 1992 model with just over 71000kms on it at the moment with a recently rebuilt motor by phantom performance with 20 thou forged pistons. The motor has done around 750kms since the build.

Mods that came with the car include:

Forged pistons

N1 Turbos

Kei Office coilovers

Slotted rotors

Stainless steel manifold, dump and cat back

4 inch FMIC

OIl cooler

Hks boost controller

It's currently running 270 hp on waste gate pressure, I have big plans for this thing but over a slow period of time! A new computer is on the to do list first up I'm thinking a Power FC as they seem to be quite popular but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Bit of an update, haven't had access to a computer so posting has been near impossible on an iphone 3GS XD

Have installed a Catco high flow cat, Splitfire coilpacks and a full HICAS delete kit. The lock bar had allowed for sooo much movement in the rear tie rods so they were toast!

Had a bit of a shopping spree at work with genuine parts including a full re-badge of the car and a brand new center air con vent!!

I then ran into an injector blasting off an o ring, so I had them all flow tested and re-built and found a half of them were on their way out. So an R34, rail, reg and injectors were the fix!

After fixing this I had the fun job of CV boots!! I love getting grease everywhere on a Saturday morning!

When I bought the car the bloke told me that the original twin BOV's were still installed but not "hooked up" this just sounded suspect to me and the THIRD BOV was the only working one, with vac lines running in front of the cam cover to T in with the FPR vac line... I really didn't like this so I went on a mission to get the twins hooked up for a more stealth look to find out they were BLITZ and were actually opening! So a quick delete of the third one plus a BLITZ overhaul was the go!

Please find the attached files as the add to post button doesn't seem to be working :S

I have now got some set plans for the car after fixing all the little things. Stage one of the list;

Link G4 ECU

Bosch 1000cc injectors

BPP fuel rail

Turbosmart Regulator

and a bit further down the track, some Work Emotion XD9's 17x9.5 +17 in Matte Grey.

PS has anyone had a problem with their Idle Air Control valve sticking?

    • Yeah 4wd (boosted) has a recess in the firewall for the booster, and 2wd is flat - the example in the link shows the flat surface. When you deleted the booster, did you just attach the factory slave cylinder directly to the recess in the firewall with no adaption?  
    • Yes, but no. You need to keep the mating surfaces bare (ie the flat faces where the caliper and upright pads touch the dogbone) and also the internal threads will remain bare (unless there are no internal threads - do they use nuts on all the bolts?). So you can slow down obvious external corrosion, but not all of it. Anodising would be required to provide decent protection to the alloy, but I'm not actually sure if you should anodise something that is all about the strength. Anodising does reduce strength significantly. Like, up to 50% on some alloys for high thickness coating.
    • Thanks   does painting on aluminium work or stop them from corroding?
    • 'Sgot nothing to do with them being Japanese. The climate in the north of Japan has similarities to the UK - the cars are made in the knowledge that they have snow and salt, and they rot there. Cars made in the US rot like buggery in the US. British cars have always rotted regardless of the weather. They will rot indoors in a climate controlled bubble! The brackets are not unsafe yet, but they will get that way. They may well corrode where the bolt threads are in contact and the bolts could just jump out without warning.
    • So unsafe would you say now?   little bit of has come off, guess road salt is a nightmare for Japanese car. Mx5 here have a well known issue or rotting
