    R32 Gts-T Project

    in Projects, Overhauls and Build-ups

    Posted

    took out the car to time attack last night.

    Wasnt very fast, huge learning curve coming from FWD n/a cars to a RWD turbo on the track.

    Ended up with a loose bolt on the power steering pump coming undone and covering my engine bay with fluid, not sure how to clean it out yet given all the electricals in that area.

    Have decided that I really should get some more seat time before I go hunting for more power, the car likely has 4-5 seconds of time to gain just from a better driver.

    there aint nothin like a neat r32 in black!!!

    i like it.

    ps: there are a couple of realy good reasons why splitfires are more expensive than 'yellow/red/green'- purple jackrts

    In the end, they do the same job and have 3x the warranty at about 1/2 the price. I couldnt be happier with them.

    Love the black P1s. Mmmmm.

    Also, hilarious numberplate

    I've been considering changing the colour to white as I love that colour contrast, pain in the ass to keep clean though!

    and yeah the plates are good, got a big laugh from the shannons guy when I was getting insured :D

    How do I know? I did it the weeks between xmas 2010 and new year 2011.

    TIPS:

    - You put it all together. Don't over pay some other flamin mongrel to do it. Surely you have a mate that is a mechanic. A real mate, not just some dude up the road you know of. Took me about 2 weeks to do a full assembly. Trust me, its not hard. Just make sure you find and engine that hasn't been trashed. Mine came from an old guy that crashed it. The VL had only done 140,000s and was like new. Still had hone marks. The hone I had done to it made it come up like new. Was about half a thou ovaled.

    - GET THE HEAD RECONNED! You won't regret it.

    - Get GTR cams, or NA RB25 CAMs, and don't run VCT. Then you can do a cheap remap of your RB20 ECU, or get a Nistune Daughter board.

    - Run the RB25 turbo and limit your revs to about 6,000. Trust me, you'll be smoking the tyres from 1200rpm all the way to 5,000rpm with that turbo.

    - Save up for the next 6 months and get a GTX3076 turbo and enjoy 320rwkws with f**koads of torque.

    There is your RB30 slapper that will take 300rwkw easier than a hooker being given 2 kgs of crack to give you a blow job.

    Thats all good, but what about the ancillary stuff?

    AFM

    Injectors

    ECU

    Tune

    Fuel pump

    etc

    My recommendation:

    Injectors

    nistune

    AFM

    2nd hand turbo of some sort

    Pushing it for $3k though
