  1. Not really an update but anyway here goes So i'd made the decision to remove the single turbo setup and ideally i wanted to run a pair of gt2860-7s, So first thing first i removed the single turbo manifold I also managed to find a cool pack cover, i really don't understand where these go or why previous owners remove them, but one popped up for a decent price, half of it looks sanded so it looks pretty terrible but this is the base and it can only get better from here..... i hope haha A couple random pictures The pair of gt2860-7s, trying to find some info on these, they seem a bit unusual Serial numbers are 14411-AA403 which is the later model r34 gtr n1 turbos with .42 front housings, somehow they are rated to 500hp the same as the earlier AA401 and AA402 34 n1 turbos with .6 front housings So sadly the further i dig in this car the more i see questionable workmanship, so I've decided to pull the motor and go over it top to bottom, redo the rocker covers, do a complete vrs kit on it Have the rad support repaired and whole bay painted while im at it before the cleaned up engine goes back in Cheers
  2. So while on holidays i decided to have the steering wheel sorted, ill take a picture when im home of the junky wheel that came in the car but I'm a fan of oem so here it is Beforehand, all pretty worn And afterwards, results speak for themselves, pretty amazing
  3. Alrighty so now that my jzx100 build is nearing its end I decided to move onto something a bit more sports car like and legendary So i figured id set out to buy a coupè thats abit more of a sports car, I've had 6 fc rx7s in the past so a series 5 was highest on my list, as was the ae86 hatch and the r32 gtr. After not being able to find much on offer for all 3 of these models i got a lead on a sprinter shell locally at a reasonable priced, i purchased the sprinter after a thorough inspection, it needed quite abit of work, had abit of rust in the sills and usual door jambs, but it copped a punt in the rear which ended up being the reason i on sold it to someone that wasn't as fussy. After looking at another local silver sprinter, a gunmetal 89 r32 gtr that was very rough and a 89 s5 rx7 i came across a 92 r32 gtr in Melbourne The seller was looking to sell to expand his business, it looked promising, i got alot of photos taken especially of the rails as they are a problem on these cars and it looked to check out I transferred the cash and the freight was aranged to brisbane All in all it took about 2 months before it arrived which was a difficult wait I was now the owner of a gtr (scarey if your a toyota person), the previous owner had planned to track this thing so he had removed the engine to do oil pump, water pump, tomei sump baffle and a few other things. In the process of putting it back in he has broken the rad support , its never a good idea to put these engines in with the box attatched Also the front and rear seats had been sold, single turbo sold, drivers window switch broken and various other odds and ends lost, so this build will require alot of chasing up fiddly little bits I am also a stickler for oem bolts, various bolts i notice have been lost and random bolts replacing them which ill need to fix. Enough talk so heres some pictures You can see the broken rad support Check out the injector wiring and exhaust leak on the firewall When it arrived in brisbane the morning i picked it up So the bonnet had seen better days and the cars suppose to come with a brand new n1 bumper minus lip and vents so i picked up an n1 bumper in japan which ended up costing $900 shipped! And a local genuine n1 bonnet Out with the old In with the new Theres nothing i hate more than cheap Chinese shit parts, the factory wheel was removed and binned by the previous owner, for a fake omp flimsy pos wheel So i bought a genuine r32 gtr wheel which is inthe process of being recovered right now Also picked up some genuine n1 skirts Now all i need is the heaslights and boot lip Shes going to be slow going but hopefully one of the cleanest gtrs around one finished Note Ok well I have actually started this build on another forum, but because of a lack of interest being a skyline on that forum I've decided to move it here, so until I'm up to date most of it will be a copy and past so bare with me on that cheers
