Fs [nsw]: R32 Gtr Tarmac Rally Prepped With Rego. Big Brakes/suspension/reliable 340kw/does Skids/bitchez Will Flock


Recommended Posts

1990 R32 GTR

Originally imported specifically for Targa Tasmania and originally prepped by RacePace and Meridian Motorsport.

I’m the second Aussie owner. To clarify, number plates are from my old RX3, the GTR *DOES NOT* have an injected bridgeport 12a.

8 months rego. Registered as a coupe, so no back seat required. No folding front seats and has OE belts to keep the po-po happy.

2x Velo GPT-2 fixed back seats mounted to alloy brackets. Very low driving position, I’m 6’2” and have >150mm from helmet to roof, plenty of room for a cage + padding

2x 3” 6pt MotorQuip harnesses with OE belts still fitted for rego

Stripped interior, no holes cut other than bolt holes in floor from now-removed bolt-in cage. Alloy centre console covering G-sensor with battery-cut mounted. No trim from B-pillar back, no roof trim. Door trims remain untouched (electrics work) All sound deadening removed from entire car

Autometer oil pressure gauge in centre dash, all OE gauges work except oil pressure (obviously now use mechanical gauge)

320kph Nismo speedo

Haltech controlled two stage shift light mounted on steering column

2wd/4wd switch in centre dash

TerraTrip 303 PLUS wired into cabin. Not currently installed but will be supplied (bracket bolts to glove box area so no holes in dash etc)

Removed rear wiper

6pot/355mm forged calipers with 32mm 2pc directional rotors on front (http://www.nengun.com/app/brake-caliper-kit) (http://www.app-top.jp/brake/caliper/index.html)

4pot/330mm forged calipers with 2pc directional rotors on rear (OE handbrake)

Braided hoses. OE ABS working. Super DOT4 fluid. QFM pads at both ends (same size pads as Brembo, so easy to source pads)

Stops like a mofo…

Ex-WTAC custom Bilstein coilovers modified with MCA Gold external canisters (bump + fast/slow rebound adjustment) built by Heasmans Steering. 8.0/6.25 kg/mm springs (will chuck in 14.0/14.0 springs to suit high aero/WTAC setup) ($8k when built a few years back) Serviced regularly by Heasmans Steering

Every suspension bush on the car has been replaced with urethane (including steering rack)

Adjustable front caster arms with notched upper arms (stops the top bush flogging out with more caster)

Whiteline sway bars both ends

Nismo strut brace on front

Nismo mechanical 2way rear diff/OE front

Second stage of power steer pump (ex-HICAS) now feeds power steer cooler between radiator and intercooler

OE G-sensor was calibrated to zero while on laser levelled corner scales

Corner scaled to 50.0% across diagonals with 90kg driver ballast (adding a 130kg navigator only moved diagonals 0.2%)

Turns in hard with very responsive steering

5000km old rebuilt RB26. 340kwatw on 20psi/98RON. Built/tuned for response/midrange

Haltech Platinum Pro (heaps of unused features like launch control, antilag, WOT shifting etc) tuned by Race Solutions. I’ve clocked just over 500km to a tank of 98, so it’s tuned for cruise, not just outright power

Haltech boost solenoid

Haltech two stage shift light on steering column

OE bottom end with ACL race series bearings

Crank modified with oil pump collar. All press plugs drilled out, pressure cleaned/acid dipped then grub screwed

Block bores/deck/tunnel specs confirmed well within OE tolerance so it only required acid dipping and honing

Rods and pistons acid dipped and crack tested. New moly rings gapped and fitted. Pistons/rods static balanced/weighed then entire rotating assembly dynamic balanced from balancer to clutch cover

9L large capacity sump (same depth as factory so it’s protected by crossmember in case of an offroad incident!) baffled, gated and sectioned with a 1” breather either side above the windage tray

Closed loop breathing system that vents sump to cam covers to ail/air separator before pre-turbo inlet. Oil front separator flows direct to sump (no emptying catch can every trackday…) Very efficient system, car doesn’t breathe much at all, possible overkill…

Head was stripped, acid dipped, all valve guides replaced, springs tested fine, OE valves inspected and refitted, intake ports knife edged, exhaust ports cleaned up a tad. Intake plenum/throttle plates/head match ported (not opened up) and head/exhaust manifolds also match ported

Cometic MLS head gasket with OE gasket kit throughout entire engine

Tomei PonCam Type-B’s (260/9.15mm in/ex) fitted and shimmed well within OE spec. Adjustable cam gears. Gates Racing timing belt

N1 water pump

Alloy radiator. Silicon hoses. Nismo thermostat

Tomei oil pump (that thing is a beast, just touch the throttle to get up on bypass pressure!)

Yellow Jacket coils

Nismo 550cc injectors

Garrett 2860-7 turbos on match ported OE manifolds with oil restrictors. OE dumps

Custom intakes (no MAF) leading to twin air filters inside carbon fibre air box (coz bitchez loooove carbon)

Modified twin turbo split pipe with separator which stops compressor surge between the -7s under light load

3” exhaust from turbos back with single JDM muffler (Jazma maybe?)

Uprated Jim Berry Full Monty. 1400kg Exedy pressure plate with 6 puck ceramic button sprung centre clutch

ARC curved oil cooler mounted behind grille running off a thermostatic TRUST sandwich plate

OE under tray replaced with flat alloy sheet back to crossmember

Since the engine rebuild, I haven’t had one problem (unheard of from an RB26. Buy into this iconic piece of history right here)

Currently has R34 GTR wheels fitted with tyres have a few mm on them till wear markers

Has wing, but not currently fitted

A little rust just behind right rear wheel

Couple of minor dents I CBF fixing up

This car was built to be a reliable track car with intention of tarmac rallying again.

It might not be the biggest power GTR out there, but is very capable package ready to lay down a fast time on a circuit or rally stage.

Throw in a cage, chuck on a vinyl wrap and grab some fresh rubber to go racing, or tint the windows and have a legit touge warrior (Hawkesbury hillclimb king, I’ve never had anyone stay with me for more than a few corners. All challengers accepted. Come at me bro. I have a medium quarter pounder meal for anyone faster…)

Half cage starts at $630, $2310 national level CAMS cage or $300 more for Tarmac Rally level CAMS cage

http://www.agi-precision.com.au/product-category/roll-cages/cams-roll-cages/bolt-in/nissan-roll-cages/skyline-r32-2dr/

Full car wraps start ~$2500+

So for $30k you’d have a reliable, competitive and log booked tarmac rally car with rego.

Car is $22k with freshly serviced Bilstein/MCA coilovers. I only negotiate face-to-face, so don’t contact me with offers to swap your 1000kw 12sec VL that your cousin built while in rehab…

Will come with the usual box of bits (spare fire extinguishers, safety triangle, some tools, removed interior bits etc)

I don’t like selling cool stuff, but it has to go as I have bigger things on my mind! (no, not a house, do you even know me?)

Call me, call me now... Mark 0417 049 016

    • I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.
    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
    • Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
    • Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!
    • I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
