Rez's R32 GTS-t Type M... presentable version!


Recommended Posts

Dave, stock GTS-t Type M power is 215ps (160kw), so the pod and muffler prolly add 5kw or so... it's anyones guess. My top end isn't too shabby though, so I might get you there.

So, on paper, that's at least 20PS up on me...I might pull away for the first 50m's or so, the extra 500 cc's helping me out, but once your turbo spools up you'll be sailing past me :D

of course, if I run without the tailpipe baffle in, my top end power is up...but the bottom end torque all but disappears...still, I could win by deafening everyone! :D

:D

How's about a tow rope between the Evo and the GT-V...would that be cheating? :D :D ;)

Nah...I'll be OK. There's no straight roads around here, all mountains passes and twisties, so while you guys have the quicker cars, I've got the home-field advantage :D :D :D

Hey mate! Love those mirrors. Always wanted some but I am a sucker for my folding power mirrors! :rant:

And those wheels are hardcore. Anyone who knows Regamasters will know that these are perhaps the lightest wheels on the market out there and it's just a bonus that they happen to look cool too.

Justin, if I still had the factory airbox like you do, I would have converted it to enclose the pod.

The one I have now is a WRC airbox, but look through the books I passed to you...I'm sure you should be able to find some airboxes in there.

Are we competing...I maybe leading but your car is still lighter, more so when your carbon bonnet goes on...yikes!

I don't actually think you can convert the factor air box to enclose the pod easily...or can you?

Perhaps you could accomodate a smaller pod, but I was suggesting returning it back to a panel filter with a CAI. I would if I could but I went with a WRC straight induction box. Pods IMO don't make that much of a difference.

Alot of the Super Taikyu Evos are running with the factory airbox and making 410ps/50kgm from the factory setup (std internals, turbo, cams, manifold, surge tank, I/C, etc) with only an aftermarket computer, larger fuelpump, front pipe and exhaust. Course they are super light...completely stripped interior.

Thanks... errr... Justin! :)

When we were at Autobacs, Evo_Lee gave my Regamasters the "one arm test" and gave them the thumbs up.... they *must* be light...;)

    • 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?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL  
    • a stock / option or aftermarket?
