Hello land down under. Just wanted to share my r32 build since we are finally cool in the states haha. I know its pretty old for you all. Anyways, last December I bought my dream car. The bad thing was it is a June 1990 model. US law states that it has to be 25 years old to the build date to be legal. So I had to wait.....still waiting lol. Should be here around the 28th of July. It's on the boat now.

Anyways, being a pretty hardcore s13 enthusiast I have been in the nissan game for a long while. I am kind of a nismo fanatic. But will go a different direction on parts where I think I should.

Lets get to some pictures.

The car was bought from global auto. I bought the car through GTR Garage. The back story that I came to understand is that this car has been garage kept its whole life. It has 88,000 KM on it. The owner focused more on suspension than doing any kind of heavy tuning. He wanted to harness the stock power. He took the car to HKS kansai to have the work done. So it naturally has HKS parts on it. Here is the list.

1990 BNR32 GTR build. 49,000 original miles (this is how I bought it) RB26DETT
Fujitsubo Legalis-R Evolution Exhaust,
HKS Iridium Plugs,

Nismo Shift Knob,
Nismo Floor Mats,

So I am starting with a pretty clean, well maintained slate. Which is what I like. I'm going to try and keep this thing as clean and tasteful as physically possible. I plan on keeping the body totally stock as is. No nismo vents or anything. Just how it is. For some reason this bare bones stock look has grown on me.

I have been steady buying up parts for this car and have already had some lying around for years that I planned on using on my s13. Here are a few pictures of what will be going on the car for now. I have focused more so on small little OEM and nismo dress up options, along with a few performance pieces. My main focus is keeping it clean and very tasteful. I want to keep the car on an "original" kind of basis. Nothing way to crazy as I want the car to still remain a r32 GTR not some super built track monster. Just a fun street car that can perform on the track when I want to have a little fun.

Reached the picture limit. Will have to wait for thread to be approved before I update with more pics. Sorry. What is the picture limit?

Then I have some parts that I may take from my rb25det build on my s13 since its not running. I also have a full-race turbo manifold for RB engines but I want to keep this GTR on twins.

Panasport G7 C5C2-SP wheels. They are 18 inches. But I would have to have these relipped and barrelled into better GTR sizings.

Love the Nismo collection you've got there.

Looks like lots planned.

Amazing!

Thank you. I have a lot more crap not pictured but I don't want to clutter this thread with random parts. Trying to keep it GTR specific.

Looks like a great project! Where are you located? I'm in Louisiana. My project spiraled out of control as well (check my build thread here).

Hopefully mine will be on the road soon!

Im from Missouri. But I'm a pipe welder. So I travel the country constantly. I'm sure being from Louisiana you are familiar with the welding lifestyle. Seems like there is a lot from down that way. I know quite a few in the Baton Rouge/New Orleans area.

thanks guys. Still would like a few nismo products that are proving tuff to find. Nismo radiator and oil cooler kit. If anyone has any leads, please let me know.

The goal of build is just to keep it pretty simple, but quality and totally streetable. I don't really want to open the engine up yet. I will probably try to make it as much nismo as possible. I'm waiting to get the car so I can see what kind of shape things are actually in. I'm sure it's pretty decent, but I will replace worn items etc before buying some performance piece not really needed. As far as power goes, I just plan on some -9 turbos for now and a safe tune on the stock internals. I'm thinking 450 hp max. It will mostly be a bolt on build. I guess I will be pushing the 2.6 as far as it will go. Then if the engine starts to show signs of fatigue, then I will look into rb28/30 or maybe just try and get a nismo crate motor. I will just have to wait and see when that time comes. I want to keep it as nismo as possible. But some items I just don't think nismo is the way to go. Its kind of just my personal taste/preference on things.

    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
