Hi guys. If you guys can remember I had built a r32 gts4 and crashed it some time back, and for those who have been following I got me a very clean r32 gtr that was garage kept for a little while like 8 years because the motor was blow. It was perfect. Me and a friend who has been coming around for a while from most projects started at it again. We decided to do a couple of things. First was to strip the existing chasis and paint everything. We were shocked at how clean the car was as we were doing so. And even went further with the painting and the inspection of components. We took everthing out the engine bay box and all strip the under carage and moved on to take the rear bumper off and strip the trunk clean. Painted and clear coated the whole thing with matching silver paint. In my head it was mostly for protection reasons as the car didnt seem to even have one ounce of rust. We decided to start amd swap the motor into this new body. And if you can remember the motor was fully built and good for around 800hp easily, but im looking for only 600. A few things thats different this time was our custom intercooler, we will run a bit of NOS. ( not installed as yet) haltech PS2000 ecu. Bigger injectors and a total different fuel system including an accusump setup with 3 bosch 044 pump with cell and surge tank along with a fuel cooler. The system is a bit overkill but I may go with e85 a bit later. I also did a few custome parts of the car myself like gauge pod. Center switch console, chassis brace bar behind the two front seat. We are still working on the fuel system as we speak and keeping in mind that I will send this car to the states for a full tune as its for drag racing only. this time around we installed a front and rear lsd. Which I hope will not be a waist of money. I will also use a set of front and rear diffuser. Its by no means a full drag car but will be used for it only. At other times it will have to sit in my shops show room floor. Im waiting on my new rims also to arrive as Work takes like 3 months to have them built and shipped (Meisters S1 3 peace). I would like to say thanks to all the peopel that has supported me from day one to the ones that still do. Cheers mate.

:lol::lol::lol: kml. Mate I was thinking the same thing. I have a r33 gtr and that has to this day hold my position at the tracks. This r33 is screaming for fuel to do better. But it hasnt lost a race as yet. So I know hands down this 32 tuned right will deal with my problems and then get stored away. My r33 took down well tuned 600hp supras. But I feels im in for an awakening this year so im getting ready. Thanks you were a big help mate.

How much is it going to cost to take the car to a tuner? I know at least three tuners who go to the Islands and South Africa to tune cars and I am sure would travel to Miami if you have access to a dyno.!!

Well shipping cost will be around 1500 usd round trip. My only issue would be a tuner thats familiar with the PS2000. ecu. BUT the shipping may be cheaper as a new ship is being commissioned in the next month. That would be around 700 round trip. You can pm me there info and I can consider them. But if I had known that MY PS2000 was so Australia based I wouldn't have gotten it. See how much I love you guys engineering skills. :D

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I had absolutely no symptoms whatsoever that anything was wrong.... I'm very happy it was all spotto'd and re-bled and re-torqued and aligned though. Will be picking it up tomorrow and undoubtedly be like "Oh, that clunk is gone" "Oh, the car really wants to drive straight" "Oh, that pedal feels better" "Oh, it feels like I've gained 25hp" "Oh, the handbrake works now" It should have been a sign that the new Project Mu shoes had 3mm of pad depth on them out of the box, and the OEM ones from 25 years ago that we took out also had 3mm of pad depth, implying the issue was not, and never was the shoes, but we put that down to it not being adjusted correctly. It wasn't, but it wasn't even adjustable at all given one side was boned and the T Junction of the cables was on a 45 degree angle, the non-working side being the one on the massive angle. Obviously when I had adjusted it and reset it and re-tensioned it I had either got it stuck or something along those lines. Oh well. Live and learn and absolutely could have been catastrophically worse so I'm rationalizing it as a win, kinda. I also got the chance to measure the distance between rear rim and the suspension arm/shocks and found a 30mm rubber block only just doesn't fit there. Which is great to know before ordering wheels, when I assumed 30mm was easy. The man with the Porsche adapters has rims that use 23.9mm of that space, so it's safe to assume I have between 23.9 and 29.9mm of space there to play with on the inside. The wheels looked pretty stupidly pokey with the 20mm spacers on the rear, only for me to find that the studs come out another 12mm and the wheel doesn't actually sit flush with the hub because you're supposed to cut your original studs. The wheels do have cutouts that kinda accomodate it, but not fully. So my 20mm spacer was anywhere between 25mm and 35mm. ~25mm and send it will determine on where the wheels sit with the spacers on. When I put the pads in for the track day I will mess around with spacers (with wheels that do not clear studs properly when mounted to spacers) and do more math, for the last time, for the 7th time.

      Lucky pick up Best to find these things before something horrible happened to the yoke flange thingies I would hate to think what would happen if it dropped the tailshaft  Hopefully the holes are not flogged out in the yokes and it was just the bolts that got munted  As for the hand brake.....ouch, look like the disc got rather hot, and I assume smokey, I recall when I had a front caliper seize on the Commodore, there was lots of smoke and the disc was glowing cherry red when I was able to eventually stop and have a look, and stopping a big heavy car, going down a big hill with some rather high RPM down shifts and some hand brake action is something that makes you think hard about life

      One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that one side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.
