So there I was, going through some old messages when I find something interesting... Someone offering to the sell this R32 with no engine in it, for $13k... 

And that was deemed expensive back then!!!

Bet there’s a lot of people who wish they could have taken that offer now 

I said it to my missus, I should have taken the offer when you gave. Even entirely untouched it would be worth so much money now!

It came up on my memories that on the 24 of April 2015 it hit 130,000kms and I went out and looked at what it has now which is exactly 134,500kms so in 8yrs it’s done 4,500kms

tank is in the boot and plumbed and the oil filter has been moved and plumbed back up. Also now has oil in the tank ready to prime the pump

front bar is back on permanently now, I love the way that cooler looks behind the bar

That's looking good Brett!

 

You must be super close to finished (in terms of the list, not necessarily time :P )

 

Once it's all back on all fours, and running, is this going to end up like a once a month car that you take for a cruise, or you're planning to still drive it as hard as it's been built to be driven and truly enjoy it?

 

I ask as I know some of us still love these cars for what they are/were. Whereas others are now trying to turn them into old collectible cars that should be in "private museums" and barely touched for fear of the loss of the vehicle.

It's like have a hot missus you don't oots oots once in a while.

What's the point?

I'm sure Brett will give it a oots oots lol.

It’ll be a bit of both, it’ll get driven on the street occasionally to just enjoy driving it and then taken to roll racing and a few events like that to really stretch its legs

It’s not a museum piece, while being a fairly clean car it was my daily when I couldn’t afford 2 cars and it has a few stone chips and etc on it, also has 134k on the clock! No one would use a car with that many kms as a collection car lol

The Commodore crew don't share your opinion, they'll put 400k km examples on blocks :P

Just put in a Nismo dash with 30k kms on it, someone will go wow.. such low kms 😂

It’s got a nismo speedo but I made the clock say the same as the original dash

oh noesssss

Just put your spare Nissan badges onto the XR6 Turbo

It’s already starting to become unreliable it doesn’t need Nissan added to it to make it worse

Ok so the reason I decided to cancel all Japan day is I was finishing off the last of the wiring and started to look at having to do the relays and fuses for the fuel pumps, thermo fans, trigger for the power steering pump and etc. after looking at the number of wires that were going into the car, I took a step back and thought nah f**k this there’s a better and much neater way to do this!! 

insert pd16 (pdm) here and the problem is solved only issue is I now need to strip the wiring harness, remove the i/o 12 box from it and fit the pd16 instead

I got very lucky and it just happened they came into stock the day after I ordered it, now while this is a set back and will mean having to redo some work, it’ll end up being better for it

    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
    • I know right. It baffled me. There's no way when the engine is off, key is in ignition, (coils are dissconnected aswell), also my sound system was dissconnected (I don't run any audio capacitors), battery reads 12.2v and with the 10amp fuse blown I was measuring 24 to 30v. The reading would move a bit from 30v to 24v which was weird. I took a pic of the multi meter reading 🤣: (This is a brand new single channel digital oscilloscope that also has a multi meter mode).   Before when the fuse was blown, I had one lead on the 12v supply (green/white wires) of that brown relay and the other lead on the negative battery terminal. When I turned the key on ignition (engine off), it would read 30v. Then when I removed that relay from it's plug and tried putting ignition on again, it would read 12v, but I think it's because it can't turn on the ecu now that I removed it. I asked Chatgpt and this is what it had to say:   Not sure if those theories would be possible but, any auto sparkies here? welcome to confirm. 🤷‍♂️  No idea, but if it happens again, atleast I know what type of issue it is, unlike last few months where I didn't know what was causing all my issues and I was just taking stabs in the dark to figure out what type of problem it was. If it does happen again I'm going to investigate futher and trace back the source even more and inspect more circuits. I drove it to work this morning and the car drove and boosted fine. Yeah I was thinking the same, so I've imported my back up saved map (which is the map that I saved when it got done tuning) back onto my haltech with the base fuel pressure set to 43.5psi.
    • Yeh nice, if your in melbourne could you recommend any exhaust shops in the east that do a good job?
    • Sorry yes, this is what im after Also, that jpjdm site appears to be offline
