Hey guys, long time lurker Chris here, just thought I would share some pictures of my 92' R32 GTS-T Type M.

Had the car about 6 years now, financial headaches follow me home often lol I got this car 30 minutes from my house, it was an ex-drift car, needed a front bumper, needed a windshield, no carpet, and a broken clutch pedal bracket. I installed a nismo clutch pedal bracket first off, got a sedan? front bumper through a mutual friend, and tossed on some rep TE37's and smoked clear corners. Car came with an electric fan installed but not wired, so I wired it up and had my cousin who ones a garage fab up a battery tray for the trunk as the battery was just in there loose, and GKtech front upper control arms. The car has japan racing coil overs from a previous owner.

I changed out the shifter boot and ebrake handle/button and a new (ebay) nismo shift knob and knock off steering wheel with (ebay) nismo horn button to freshen things up. A lot of small bits here and there just to make the car more enjoyable to drive. 

It came with a cat back kakimoto exhaust, I got the amazon autobahn 99 cat delete and a tomei turbo elbow so the car sounds great. 

FMIC and piping, as well as the pod filter were all done before I got it, and are being changed. Unsure of the coils, but they were there when I got it too, going to change them eventually, they look old af.

The main reason for posting now is because I am starting to get into modifying/tidying up the engine  and engine bay and wanted to share my progress as I go. 

I have essentially been driving the car summers only for the past 5 years full time and it has been an absolute blast to just cruise in.

Welcome!

Can't be many of those on Ontario streets.

It's funny you say that because we never had a 25-year import ban in Canada. Skylines and GTI-R's used to litter the streets... they were sold for peanuts as they were known as Japan's throw aways. We would laugh when we saw them as we presumed the owner was a poor high school student... times sure have changed. 

Here we are 15-20 years later and now that American's can buy them, we decided they're "Cool" now and worth 10x what we use to pay lol.

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
