[WA] RB28 T

Now we are coming to the conclusion of the build I thought I would chuck up a build thread of the overhaul of my R32 GTR completed by Galvsport in Perth, WA. If you haven’t heard of them I suggest you check them out on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/#!/Galvsport or the net http://www.galvsport.com/ really taking it to the next level for GTR’s and motorsport builds over here in WA.

Essentially I had a R32 GTST with a RB25 in it to compete in local motorsport, usual bolt ons etc delivering 375whp and this kept me happy for a brief period of time before the GTR bug bit, due to the plan from the get go being a built motor I found an example with a quality suspension and brake package with a popped motor and dropped it off to galvsport.

While awaiting its turn for Galvsport to start work, I had a Brad Stacey Weld in cage fitted, with the rear seat delete re-trim performed in house at Galvsport.

Also had the front dash and a few other interior bits and pieces flocked

Dropped, stripped, powder coates front and rear sub frame and re fitted with the Ikeya Formula gear that came with the car on the rear end, and Nismo gear for the front end.

Had the bay re-sprayed and a few other bits and pieces tidied up on the body

Nice build mate, you must be stoked to finally have it back - makes great power clearly!

Any future plans for it or just keep as is for the time being and enjoy?

for the time being i will just keep it as it is, it has been nearly 2 years in the build and i want to enjoy it a bit and lay down some lap times. Maybe towards the end of the year look at doing some big boy alcon brakes and aftermarket diff setup. also needs a respray is currently 50 shades of grey.

What happened to the lm gt4s? Also the retrim looks quite good in the rear, nice job :) looking forward to more

swapped for XT7s

This thing looks unreal! Keep us posted with how she goes on the track.

was great, took it out to RAC for a tuning session, didnt die, didnt crash didnt break all in all a good day!

The March 5th, this Thursday, 9am to 4pm
Just needs cams license, If you never been to a tuning day, its very relaxed, and you go out when road cars are called.

No pressure, just a all day testing of your car, i believe its 30 minute sessions ( i forget ) and you get about 5 or so.

You can go out for 1 lap, comin, change stuff, then go straight back out again, one of the easiest track days you can goto.
No timing gear, so use ur phone.

hows this thing coming along man? getting some laps in?

"late response"

 

Essentially I got some decent laps in up until September last year, when I moved overseas for work, and sold everything but the car. However, have recently sent it back into galvsport to prepare it for Racewars 2017.

Cliff Notes:-

> Holinger Sequential

> new tune and will lean on it a touch harder for 8,250rpm as oppose to 7,500 running last year.

> will get it wrapped

> fit up the new wheels with fresh rubber for the event

> sort out the 4wd gremlin

> Rebuild the shocks which were starting to let go towards end of last year.

 

hoping to get a few days at rac and barbs in while back in Perth!

Was just taking a trip down memory lane and researching bits and pieces for the next stage. 

 

Racewars is done and dusted and back over seas, got the HKS livery done and a few tweaks nothing too major.

Next stage really consists of prep for RW18 (nothing major), overhauling the interior (all the dry carbon) and prepping to for export to the UK (where i am currently living) 

Livery is coming off, basically going to All Black. 

 

Watch this space

Well seems I don't pay too much attention to SAU as of late. 

 

Racewars 18 was run with a big improvement over last year thanks to a retune from WA Racing Developments. 

and the HKS was removed in favour of some fresh panel and paint, with new rims to follow.  Thanks to Panelhaus in Canningvale for the so far top job, should be off to Madinc in the near future to protect the paint and I might get to drive it this year.

    • This is the clearest explanation out of those: Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension. Basically you turn the engine with the tensioner bolt loose, then use the allen key to hold it while you torque it up. And yes after that a good guide is being able to twist it 90o in one of the long free lengths of the belt
    • good choice....I have a set of those and use them all the time including on this job. Plus, no-one wants a damaged nipple
    • Thanks all, went with nismo strengthened belt and all genuine nissan idler and tensioner Question on RB25DET Neo Timing Tensioner: I have a question about the RB25DET Neo timing tensioner. In one of the videos (minute 20 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17y37BB9xnA and minute 27 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb99s2E9xUg), the process suggests tightening the tensioner pulley installation bolt to the specified torque initially, and then loosening it slightly to allow the spring to set the correct tension. Is this the correct approach? The R33 workshop manual on page 74 states: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. The way this is written is confusing. Does this mean: Undo the nut, then reduce the tension by turning clockwise? Snug the nut so it stays in position without applying tension to the belt while removing the timing belt? The manual wording makes it sound like the nut will tighten automatically when you turn the tensioner clockwise , which is unclear to me.   Timing Belt Tension Adjustment Process: After loosening the tensioner nut, you turn the engine two full rotations by hand, which should set the correct tension. Once the tension is set, you tighten the bolt to 43 N·m (4.4 kg·m). Before tightening, you need to insert the Allen key into the hexagonal hole to hold the pulley in place while tightening the bolt. In one of the videos, it’s mentioned that you should twist the belt side to side, or turn it slightly to check if the tension is correct. The belt should turn halfway, indicating the right tension. However, I know that twisting or turning the belt is not a good idea. What are your thoughts on this? Finally, how can I ensure the belt isn’t overtightened? I’ve seen many cases where people have overtightened the timing belt.   Manual Excerpts: Page 74: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. Remove the timing belt from each pulley. Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension.
    • Takes a few minutes to malke one. Wood, or steel, or a wrap strap with some strategically placed solids to provide teh drive onto the ribs.
    • I would strongly suggest using the correct tool. They are not expensive and make the job much easier and don't damage the lock ring. Google "fuel tank lock ring removal tool" to see what I'm talking about.
