Hi all, I joined a while ago, but havent posted till recently.........

What tends to be common replacement parts on R32 GTR's?

I am looking at buying one that I will have in the next week if I decided to get it. I will change the oil, oil filter, spark plugs and leads....anything I missed? Might take it straight in for a service too (thats if I get it)

I have downloaded an R32 manual which covers all the engines from the CA18i to the RB26DETT, which I will read to see if I can fix any problems like seals, bearings and gaskets other than that I guess anyone would take it to a mechanic with any major engine probs

And theres always Hyperdrive too :(

EDIT: whoops, may be in one forum too far... :Bang:

thanks mate...

car is at about 102,000k's (rebuilt at 96,000k's, with 2 new turbos)

what about other belts (and whistles)?

Fan belt, AC Compressor belt & Power Steering belt?

also are any radiator/cooling hoses prone to bulging/cracking etc..?

thanks again

Hey tom,

i guess with age you will find anything is prone to cracking, i had one of my water houses crack randomly when i was drag racing, During the rebuilt what was done cuz most likly they would have change the timing belt, as i belived it is requirment that you change them at 100,000km.

Im not sure about the other belts, i have yet to replace mine but its a gts-t so may be different (but not likly) (my car has done about 111,000km)

Im guessing during the rebuilt all new gaskets where uses on turbo etc so you wouldnt have to worry about replacing them

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!

      I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.

      Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
