R32 Gtr Long Term Love, Now Project

[r32-25t]

I got them for free out of a front cut I had bought years ago, but brand new they can be had for a couple of hundred depending on the brand

[GTR_JOEY]

Quite expensive then!

Cheers

[r32-25t]

No worries, if you just get the replacement bushes for the original arms they are about $70

[GTR_JOEY]

I'll probably just do that then, got a press at work so hopefully they come out easy enough

[GTRsean]

1 bar

that's never going to happen

I said that too, but after 11years, I'm on the single bandwagon lol!

[r32-25t]

I'm never going to go for enough power to want one and I like my twins to much

Maybe if I was building a VL

[r32-25t]

the reason for the purchase of Santas little box it to take advantage of the haltechs capabilities and the first thing out of the box is this little puppy

And today I finally fished installing it, I put the sensor under the car

(There is a bracket now and the wires covered)

And ran the wires into the car, to the passenger side, under the seat, into the I/0 box and then the can hub

I still need to mount them properly but I may still have a bit of fiddling with them so will do it later

[r32-25t]

Next is the wide band oxygen sensor kit sat the control module in a similar a lot to the I/O box

And ran the wire through where the cat temp sensor use to run

Haven't hooked it up yet as the new exhuast hasn't been fitted yet

And basically under my carpet now looks like this mess

[k_d]

Its good they give you long looms for everything, it is a pain to make it nice and tidy though!!!

[r32-25t]

Yeah it's why I decided to hide it under the carpet that's under the passenger seat

[Count Grantleyish]

That's more amount of wiring than the stereo setup I took out from my old FC3S!

[r32-25t]

I actually took a heap of stereo wiring out as well to give it a bit of a tidy up

[Count Grantleyish]

So you took out wiring to put in more wiring.

Good to know your power to weigh ratio remains unchanged.

[r32-25t]

It changes when ever i get more power

[Count Grantleyish]

Ah, yes.

That's why turbos are the best, just wick the boost up for moar powah!

[r32-25t]

The day finally came, we fitted the exhaust and what a mission that was, because I wanted the big center muffler fitted to it we ended up custom making the entire center section

We started with this eye sore and was part of the reason I wanted the exhuast changed as it never fit right to begin with and had a restrictor in the center muffler

So we got that off and first fitted to new front pipes and welded the bung for the wide band, welded the flanges on the cat and fitted it

And the reason for changing the center muffler

Replaced with this magna flow muffler

I didn't get any photos of the middle section it was hot and we wanted to get out of there

But here it from the back after being finished

And back on the ground

And here is the where the wiring runs for the oxygen sensor, it has brackets the hold it to the rail now but they aren't in the photo

Over all it has a nice deep note, it still fairly loud without being obnoxious and despite not giving it a boot full due to not having the tune checked you can feel the turbos are more keen to wake up

I love the colour of this car!

[Piggaz]

Quality Jap exhaust junk right there!!!

[r32-25t]

Oh I forgot to mention that while we were doing the exhuast i decided to check the health of the limited slip diff and well...... It doesn't do a dam thing, I was able to grab to 2 rear wheels and turn them in opposite directions without any resistance at all

[Piggaz]

Time for a real rear diff mate. May aswell do a refresh on the transfer. While you're there, put a Quaife up the front.

YUMMMM
