Bunging around a bit in the old garage trying to make a half descent looking catchcan/coolant over flow. Spent about 6 hours starring at it like a physco before the wheels started turning in my brain. This is what I got so far. Not so bad for the average maple leaf warrior.  Fittings for catchcan will be on the backside beside fuse box with a nice drain line ran out bottom to beside my frame where i can reach out twist a valve to let the blow by shinanigins out, cheers chaps have a fantastic day🤟

Started installing the meth kit last night, managed to get it mounted so I could still access the awd resevior. Battery is located on other side I figured this was a nice spot for it. Cheers mates.

Party unit installed 

I call it poor mans e85. I can’t afford that stuff we have to order it by barrel around here. We have no gas pump for e85 within 1200km. Non the less I’m still going to crank it to 30psi

We are kind of lucky in parts of Australia where you can just get it off the pump.

However that duopoly has dropped down to monopoly and not sure how long it will last.

There may be a time where I'll end up with WMI as well.

I fricken tell yeah mates I must have went at these lock rings for 2 hours, I used just about every product under the sun till I finally got some acetone inside the ring area/ wire brush till nothing left of brush, and lightly tapped/ smashed the hell out of them with a punch I made out of a bolt and got them loose, I got some 275’s I want to clear without rolling or touching my fenders and I hate the rear camber so I brought her up a fair bit. I like when gtr’s sit high up looks like they mean business. Anyway someone tell me what the hell these coil overs are that I have.....they say npg but that means nothing to me lol, maybe eBay I dunno I’m not a scientist. They feel great tho I must say.

Yeah theyre a bastard when they dont come loose....

 

They look like Ohlins coil overs to me but they normally have pretty clear Ohlins branding on them. 

When i was told i couldnt get them unlocked by another mate i was determined, i truely believe the acetone was the key but again im no scientist maybe they just finally decided to come free after 100 swings with hammers. i started small and the hammers kept getting bigger. 

ive got the ride height 358mm from hub centre to fender in rear, and 355 in front. i mainly did this to clear some big 275/40/r17's on my regas and get rid of the nasty camber in the rear it used to have. who ever had the suspension set up before had it sagging in the rear like crazy for what ever stupid idea car handled like shizznit. once the 10 feet of snow is gone i might actually be able to try this 100k paper weight out and enjoy it with the family again.....hard starring at it everyday she wants the beans giving to her bad. will be fitting a ppg dog set soon!

Acetone mixed 50:50 with auto trans fluid is awesome.

9 times out of 10 works every time!

i was this close to taking them off, buying 4 big bottle of coke and cut the tops off and leave them in there over night to free them up. glad it never got to that point. cheers mate

Does anyone know where to source out dashes these days? mine has taken a turn for the worst and is bubbling quite hard(can see in picture above)?

Pretty much every r32 dash in existence has bubbles like that. You either need to fluke a good second hand one (almost impossible), or re-cover or flock it.

thanks mate, i will try a recover.

A little hick up with the head and now I’m back in action. I had my doubts of the new engine even working as this was my first setup self tuned motor. Might work out a dyno day to tighten it up but it’s fine for now for some family cruising. Pump with meth on 25 psi is plenty feels like 550whp.  Good to be driving the gtr everyday now. It’s a good strong setup I’m happy as hell with it now. 9:5:1 compression makes for some nice tourque but had to turn timing way down. Cheers.

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
    • Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.
    • Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 😛
    • 500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
