R32 Gtr Purest Build

[Cateans05]

Hey Guys,

New to the forum so ill introduce myself, Im Nick, and i reside in Victoria, just recently bought a R32 GTR that i will go pick up in a few days.

Ive previously owned a N14SSS, 95 200sx, R32 GTS 25de, & a GTiR. My ultimate dream and goal was to own a GTR as a weekender and Long term car, especially after regretting selling my previous R32.

I went out and was after something with less than 100,xxx, unmolested as possible and found a nice one.. and at a pretty good price for what theyre worth now.

Heres the current Specs and as ive purchased it.

1992 R32 GTR

80xxx

Full HKS Exhaust (5' tip WAAAAAY to big)
Mines ecu
Turbo smart boost tap (ehhh)
HKS filters
Front adjustable caster rods
Tinted windows (not legal)
Te37 wheels with new tyres (dont like TE37s)
Car tuned on 13psi making 241kw at wheels

First thing, is i have already sold the wheels prior to even receiving the car, as far as plans go im trying to keep this car as Pure as possible.

Im not a fan of overly modified and shiny cars with shiny engine bays. I appreciate a car thats lightly modified, still looks reasonably factory and drives very comfortably.

The R32 GTR is to much of a iconic car to kill its spirit.

Plans?

- Interior completely factory... no extra gauges etc in sight.

- Factory R32 GTR wheels

- Factory Bodykit

- Engine rebuild to original factory specs, no forgies etc.

- Stock airbox's

- Highflowed standard turbos ( -5)

- Ethanol System

- Aftermarket Oil pump + Sump Baffles

- Poncams

- Ported standard manifolds

- After Market Dump pipe

- EBC

More or less a very factory CLEAN engine bay.

Power goal?

Id be more than happy with anywhere between low boost 230-250kw and max at 300-340ishKW on full boost.

Cheers

Hey Guys,

Not a great deal happening with the GTR, so far only managed to chase some awesome GTR stockies, and taken most off the plastidip off the front lip. Also removed my climate control unit to find mangled wiring, If anyone happens to have a diagram would be awesome as 3 plugs plugs have like 31 wires but the loom has only like 20! FML lol any help is appreciated.

Chucking some BMW horns on as these ones a SHIT! lol

Next step in the coming months is N1 turbos or -7 turbos!

MINT! Love the stock Originale look.

Super nice. Need moar of these kind of restorations, something about ripping everything out and replacing with aftermarket doesnt appeal to me. Probably getting old

[Redline_GTR]

Awesome car Nick.

Will be looking forward to your restoration

[SiR_RB]

if your going to all the hassle of building the engine, why not atleast do forged pistons with standard rods and billet pump gears etc for piece of mind?

just my 2c

shes looking real good mate keep the pics coming

Do you have a copy of the workshop manual? The A/C wiring diagram is in the back of that.

Do stock pistons & rings. No need for the heartache of steel rings and their poor sealing. Or go ACL if you can find them which are atleast ductile iron.

Thank you me too!

Yeh i totally agree! I can deal with tastefully modded with premium brands (Nismo, Tomei, HKS) but i dont like the complete molestation lol each to their own i guess!

Awesome car Nick.

Thanks! Appreciate it

Yeh i got it? Just isnt quite straight forward i cant read it hahaha i need something like a headunit wiring diagram, im a electrical newb.

Yeh i was thinking of that route, maybe just aftermarket rods! Thats about it. I mean can you really melt a factory piston that easily?

Yeh thats definately on the to do list. Aftermarket pump without a doubt! But as far a spistons go, may opt for standards and just put in thicker rods! But yeh ill defs take all that into consideration cos that would suck if i went through all that and it blew up lol

Cheers!

Nice looking car Nick. They do look great in nice clean white.

Each to their own but I'd be doing forgies waaaaaay before rods. If you're not chasing big power (which if you're going -7's you're obviously not) then forgies aren't mandatory but for the extra few hundred dollars, why wouldn't you?? You're better off over building than under doing it.

[Cateans05]

Yeh thats true! If your gunna build it, build it once only.

Picked up these bad boys during the week, wasnt even looking for turbos yet but they popped up at a good price! $700 Delivered. R33 N1 Turbos with about 30xxxkm, they look pretty new!

AWESOME! MADDD should receive em sometime next week

Great find

[gtr jet]

Just in case you didn't already know, the 33 N1 turbo's will be a touch lagier than the 34 N1's (-7's) but they will still make the power you were after and were a bargain at that price anyway.

[Cateans05]

Thanks! yeh i was looking at specs and will be a tad laggier but almost identical power output. Pretty wrapped
