One more before bed - sorry for BBS assault. Hope to meet some fellow GTRheads.
-
BBS LM's awesome on a 33 - not sure on a 32. More pics?
-
Lincoln, so that was you who bought the 32r from 'Shitney'
Keep tri-spokes on I say.
Yep - is a nice condition car. Every day I love/hate the tri-spokes.
-
Love that pic... Think removing the window tint is a must. Gotta cut and shut the HKS exhaust to get it higher to run it lower a little more legal. Secret weapon.... black bolts.
Have much love for mesh BBS - my other car adjusting the arches.

Farken hahaha

/Flame suit on/
I lugged a set of these in checked baggage from Gemany... However was a little optomistic with the 2.5 in lips (they fit the back!!!!!!) however waiting for 1.5 in lips to arrive for the fronts (it's a V-spec so 40mm hub to caliper clearance).
Ta for the welcome.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Big 80's/90's group A fan here. Bought a R32 Gtr finally and love it, actually daily driving it (won't show it yet till it has got it's new shoes on - totally 80's (3 spoke advans) at the mo and I want 90's! (BBS RS)).
See you all are having a lot of trouble with meets/greets and cops. Sad to see. Just saying hi as I am sure a lot of meets will go undergound and hoping to come/be invited to some.
Tommorrow my Dad (with a Focus RS) are going for a blast up Healseville way and then cleaning at Eltham wash at about 9:30am - 10am.
Cheers, Lincoln.

Car delivered and driven. First time driving one and am impressed. Cannot think of a car sub $40k ( let alone sub $20k ) that would be better. The clutch is a little grabby but will see if it or I adjusts easily. Looking forward to some cruises.

Hey mate,
I have a Sierra RS cosworth and also spent a long time looking for a R32 GTR. Just bought one. I am in Melbourne but a guy one here named Fatz (who lives NSW) is a good help and a person worth listening to.
Lincoln.

-

Had a hankering for a R32 for quite a while now and found one I couldn't resist...
Need to get some BBS RS's for it so if anyone has a set PM me please.
Also been building this for too long now...

Really enjoyed viewing this thread and poking around other projects. I will have a 32 GTR one day (next race car build if the wifer lets me).
But at the moment I have to settle for bulding it's nemesis.........
When done I would like to find someone with a racer spec gunmetal 32 to take some professional pics with.
A decent dyno day but a bit short of my expectations. Looking back on my engine spec perhaps some wilder cams. more porting, bigger turbo and a little more compression might have got me closer. I am also sure that the day did not help @ 30degree c and air density 92.7% which had ACT's @ 56 deg.
However I am sure the engine will be a hoot to drive....
Dyno plots - just realised that I only printed the run which started the load @ 3500 rpm - 250 rpm/sec.
This makes the boost look sluggish - it came in 500rpm sooner on other runs - you can see it went from 0psi @ 3500 to 8.5 psi @ 3600.
AFR2 - 0.84 only the log was 0.82 on the autronic and motec lambda modules. I had trouble with the boost controller and definately needed boost per rpm. I had the boost controller set higher but got surge at 32psi @ 4200rpm. Mapped the engine at heaps on load sites and pretty happy.

Cage was a pain in the arse. I have the seat as low as I can. I am six foot and can't really see the front left side of the bonnet. The whole time my head was either resting or bouncing off the cage to the side above the window. Probably wouldn't without the padding. I will have to find a solution.
Sounds silly but have you thought of adding some spacers to the outside of your seat mounts to angle the seat towards the middle of car. I have to do this to mine and it is comfortable.
-
Do the modern day turbos on the seirra reduce the lag much?
Still have a old school turbo for strength and reliability - have a maram 247 shaft and wheel. Have upped the compression and i'm guessing more suitable adavance with the e85 but will still be lucky to see full boost (30psi) before 3500rpm. Good things done these days with twinscroll and may go there after as the standard cossie exhaust manifold was designed for it.
You a Targa nut? Man I love Tassie.
Thanks all.
-
Awsome Seirra. What did it start life as? Cosworth turbo or RS500?
Regular Cosworth 3 door. Would be crazy to completely f**k up any value in a RS500
(they are worth heaps more standard to people). -
Specs are a little long but here are the main ones.
Engine to 500hp (at Dyno waiting at the moment). E85, T4, solid lifter, ported, dry sumped, pectel, MW cdi.
Hollinger H6S, twin plate AP 7 1/4.
8.8" Mustang plated irs diff in modified rear cradle with camber/caster adjustment and adjustable bladed arb.
Adjustable front tca and top mounts.
6 pot 355mm brakes front, 4 pot 330mm brakes rear - adjustable pedal box.
Motec dash, pdm.
As much carbon as I can get my hands on.
17" and 18" centrelock wheels.
That's awesome Lincoln!Where are you based mate?
Thanks am in Melbourne.

Yeah, if you can't beat em..... been building the Sierra for far too long as got too carried away with it. The 32 is supposed to rekindle the love to help me finish the Sierra. Working so far! 32 is a very nice road car.
