The lsd is quite aggressive, so when turning corners at low speed, it clunks and hops, the steering is fighting you as well. At medium speed it’s fine. I personally would go for either quaife or ats

I’ve got a Cusco 1way front and factory rear with nismo plates, I highly don’t recommend Cusco for a street car as it is quite harsh

i was running a PAR built by Sam at Neat Gearboxes. I got the PPG through JRS Performance,

I have just recently purchased the PPG Billet Sequential, but i definitely did not pay anywhere near that 32.5k AUD. I am happy with what ive got, as i am not chasing 1200+whp. Compared with my friends OS88 and Samsonas, the samsonas is definitely the business no doubt, but i believe it is a lot better than the ageing OS88

Hi all, Just a little update over the last few months. Car got retuned just before Chrome(NZ equivalent of Powercruise) managed to squeeze a little bit more power out and made 640kw and 987nm. Unfortunately at the event I had blown my cold side intercooler pipe off 5 times and caused the turbo to overspeed. So off it went to get rebuilt. Managed to sort a group buy and got myself a PPG Billet sequential.l, and upgraded my old and tired Endless front calipers as we were no longer able to get the rebuilt parts off the shelf.

Hi all, Just wanting some advice regarding grout filling blocks. Long story short, i am looking at building a new short block for my car as the current one has a 1mm crack that has been JB Welded and with the power it will eventually fail. I have managed to find a virgin block r32 rb26 block, plan is to go billet main caps and plate. After talking to a few people online some people running big power on the cast blocks have also done grout fill along with bracing of some sort. I have talked to my engine builder about the idea of going half grout fill as it is still a street car and the setup for billet block is out of the question. My engine builder has used Hardblok on old V8's, however they were for dedicated drag cars on methanol so heat is not really an issue. The issue is he has concerns about the grout separating from the bores from heat expansion with the different materials. Cheers Jeff

Gearbox has arrived safely and have bolted it in. All i can say is wow what a box. It is a wee bit noiser than what i had hoped for however now i can finally give the car a good rip. It feel really weird being a brand new box, there is no slope in it at all. I had opted for the centre billet plate upgrade and using the stock 5th however for some reason i can hear it whine in 5th while cruising on the motor way.

Sorry to hear about your experience, I got my gearset through Neat Gearboxes. There was a hold up of about 4 weeks due me wanting the 26 spline input shaft as there were none in stock. All up I think it has taken 7 weeks from putting in the order to it being built and fitted into the donor box

Treated myself to a wee xmas present, my tuner had managed to score an awesome deal for the link dash, so i went for the 7" dash with the Mako dash mount to complete replace the stock cluster. It was a bit of a mission as the R32 ran a mechanical speedo drive, however friend of my had a spare s13 speedo drive the converts mechanical to digital. We are currently working out how to get the power steer to work, as i believe the original cluster used the mechanical speedo input to send a signal to the hicas ecu to feed power to the power steer. video-1606884470.mp4 video-1606883980.mp4

Managed to track down some old school Bride Euro reclinables, they were pretty stiff to say the least but for $300 for the pair I could say no as my stock gtr seats are mint and didn’t want to ruin them. Got them reupholstered in alcantara (that stuff is $$$) new springs, cushions and strengthened bolsters. Now sitting on genuine bride rails

i'm glad i went with the 6466, i did get offered a 6870 for only a few hundred dollars more at the time but decided it was too big for a street car. Friend of mine has the 6266 with a 1.01AR isnt really that much more responsive than the 6466 with a 1.01AR.

Just had an update from Sam at Neat Gearboxes. Gearbox build is in its final assembly and will be shipped in the next few days. Pretty excited to say the least. Opted for the PAR straight cut synchro 1st-4th with stock 5th, PPG centre billet plate and upgraded 26 spline input shaft.

Something weird has happend, when infirst start the car, i would have powersteering for about 3kms then steering would get heavy and stay like that until i start the car again.

Hi All, I have recently changed my dash to one of Link's new digital dashes, managed to get the speedo and odometer working by using the S13 speedo sensor as they run a analog to digital converter and sends the signal to the ecu then onto the dash. My problem now though is that i feel like i have no power steer at low speeds, which i am guessing with the factory setup the speedo drive cable goes to the dash then from there sends a signal to the hicas pump( i have removed hicas) Unfortunately my mechanic isnt really too familiar with it so we are a bit stuck. Any ideas? im guessing in theory i need to get the speed signal to the hicas ecu? Regards Jeff

Yea, the stock box really is a ticking time bomb. I did consider the PAR dogbox, but unfortunately not many people near where i live has a dogbox to kind of get an idea on what its like for a daily. At least i got a good deal with Sam, i could sell it and go dogbox later down the track. Another hard thing to justify going all out is we only have 6 drag meets a year, and after my last stint i am banned until i get a full cage.

Surprisingly tho, my current stock box has no issues flat shifting at 9k rpm. I messaged Neat last week and the input shaft was getting heat treated, so once thats all done it shouldnt take too long. Fingers cross it will arrive here after new years, also opted for the OS centre billet plate as well.

Hey @BKi opted for the synchro box as I still wanted a semi comfortable street car haha

The gearbox is currently still getting built, just waiting on a few bits as i had opted for the GM 26 spline input shaft. Hopefully it would allow me to be a bit more aggressive on the shifts. Yea theres a few NZs running the speedtek gearsets and seem to be good. Jeff

Yea would love to see it hitting a 9, however i am banned until i get a cage haha.

Well its been a while. Had the car back on the dyno due to a fuel pressure cut and decided while it was on the dyno diagnosing problems we would tweak the tune a wee bit more. Ended up only making an extra 10hp however we had gained 50nm throughout the whole rev range. So now making 626rwkw and 950nm. Had a drag event on last month so decided to take the car down and give it a shot on the stock box. To anyone who thinks drag racing is easy...well its not my first pass was a 12.5@126mph as the car completely bogged and almost stalled 😅played around with the launch control and managed a slightly better 11.5@128mph. Then for the last pass as i needed to go to a birthday party i just sent it and ended up with a 10.3@143mph. **please note the 60ft is 1.802 not 0.802 haha

Hey @Shoota_77 Good to see your car coming along nicely. Be really interesting with how your gearset turns out. I was in the same dilemma about 2 months ago regarding gearset. Being in NZ one of the recommended gearbox rebuilders only recommended me to go for the OS gearset but was going to cost me about $12.5k NZD which i wasnt prepared to pay. I ended up getting in touch with Sam from Neat Gearboxes and settled with the PAR straight cut synchro box with the OS centre billet plate. Jeff

Sorry bad english, I have thought about that tracing the wiring diagram to get the input signal, however i still want the centre console to look stockish.

Hi all, Just wondering what is involved with using a R33 GTR triple din gauge into a R32 GTR? Reason is i have replaced the standard gtr cluster with a 7" Aim digital dash and im unable to to have the torque split displaying, and having a torque split controller i just want to see where its set to. So wondering if its actually possible to use the R33 GTR one has it has the front torque gauge. Cheers Jeff

Did the drags a week ago, managed a 10.3@143mph with a 1.8 60ft

I agree, dyno is only a tuning tool the the dyno numbers are really just a pissing contest. Real way to see power is the mph at the end of the 1/4, with my power im expecting to hit the 145-147mph trap speed. My purpose of the car is a weekend toy, doing the old school pick ups and the occasional coffee runs
