Nelkel's R32 GTR Build

Hey Guys,

I thought I would put together a build/project thread here.

I imported my 1993 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR to South Africa in 2013 and have only recently started modifying it. I have been documenting my journey on my Youtube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/c/nelkelgtrvlogs

I will update this thread accordingly. As it stands the car has the following modifications.

Tein Super Street Coilovers

Cusco Swaybars

Nismo Camber arms

BuddyClub P1 Racers 17x9

HKS 63mm Intakes

HKS EVC 5 

76mm Downpipes

90mm Exhaust Kakimoto backbox

Battery Relocation

MINE VX Rom

 

Over the next few months I will be doing a clutch change, respray, big brake kit, GT2860-5 Turbos and supporting modifications. I will be filming all work on car and will be uploading to my channel weekly. I'm hoping that along the way I can make new friends and also help someone by providing informative DIY and How to guides.

Here's a short video I put together of my R32 GTR. Hope you enjoy.

Check out my other videos as I do JDM discussions and reviews. 

I'll be doing a silicone radiator kit installation in the next few days and will post it here as soon as I am complete.

Hey Nelkel,
I noticed you said you were going with Garrett 2860-5 turbos, I have just had mine put in, and was wondering if you got yours done yet and what sort of power you are making/plan to make with what supporting mods? Mine is due for a dyno run today actually and am eager to see how she does [emoji16]

Hey Ben! 

Unfortunately the GT2860's have been put on hold until end of Feb/March next year due to the fact that I couldn't resist importing the Mazda RX7 FD. Wrt to supporting mods..

1. Fuel Pump

2. Fuel pump rewire

3. Injectors (Need to research)

4. Mishimoto radiator

5. Alu Hard pipe kit (Intake side)

6. Haltech Plat ECU

7. HICAS Delete

I need to sit down and consider my supporting mods carefully but off the top of my head those would be the ones :)

I'm excited for you man, what boost are you intending to dyno on? What else is done to the car? Please make a video :)

Yeah those are very similar to my supporting mods, I have my own build thread, however off the top of my head
- 800cc Bosch injectors
- Walbro 450 fuel pump
- Greddy intercooler piping
- Apexi power FC and hand controller
To name a few of the supporting mods for the turbos, for all of them check out my thread!
And not too sure on power after tune, was hoping to get an answer out of you for a ballpark figure [emoji23]

Haha Sorry! Shouldn't have brought in the RX7 :D

At least when you are done I'll know what to expect :) Will check out your build thread am super interested!

Good luck for later, keep us all posted! P.S. Stock turbos with basic mods saw me 404hp at the flywheel

Here's the run below, dyno sheet at the end of the video :)

Hahah no way man enjoy both of the toys [emoji108] I will definitely keep everyone posted! Wow 300kw is definitely not bad on stock turbos I was hoping to make at least 300 with these turbos, may even be able to get closer to 320 looking at that :)

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in.

      I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.

      Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
