My R32 GTR has just shat itself and i think it's time to buy new internals, so if any1 out their has had this problem (i Know there should be a shit load of you) can you please tell me about whats good, and whats shit on the market. I want internals that will be able to take alot of power in the future with out the chance of damage, i hear good things about the HKS piston set.

So can any1 out their advice me on prices, brands, setup opptions, and if they no of any places that will be willing to give mates rates, and that will be willing ot install them.

Best Regards Vlad

There's days worth of reading if you search and sift through past posts.

You also need to be more specific in what your plans are for the car. If you don't have firm plans and goals - then set yourself some and stick to them! Examples are:

* how long will you have the car?

* what will you use it for (drags, track, daily driver)?

* what is your budget?

Once you are clear in your own mind of the above then it is easy to set a realistic path to achieve the goals.

It would also be good to know what failed so suggestions can be made to avoid furthur failures.

to be honest i really dont know, but a friend sugested that it was time for new internals, and i couldn't disagree with him, i know that i deff want to upgrade the turbos and convert it to a single turbo. but yeah

Let me re-do my answer to that question, well I’m willing to spend up to $6,000 (willing to spend more if the higher quality parts are worth the coin). I want to keep the car as long as it is in one peace.

I want to use the car as an every day driver, but still be able to have the power their when I need it or when I feel that 80km/h is far to slow. Like I said in my other response, when I decided that it’s time for my right foot to hit the floor I want to feel that feeling that you get when your about to take off in an air plain.

I think that should sum it up or do I have to be more specific???

Well, there's no such thing as a cheap and reliable RB rebuild. Given that aftermarket rods have also come down in price, I would factor those in the rebuild. So essentially looking at new pistons, rods, bearings, crank collar, machining, assembly and new fluids and service parts (gaskets, hoses, belts etc).

My "thumb suck" is that you should be allowing for around $6 to 8k including removal and fitting.

I'm assuming that you have some steel wheel terbs already fitted and that these are in good nick as is your clutch, gearbox, transfer case............you get the idea - welcome to the (expensive) world of GT-R ownership!

By that response it seems like you need a fully sick lancer with an ejecter seat triggered by the accelerator.

How about a power target?

How about not worrying about a fully sick stereo when talking about a rebuild.

Rebuild + big single turbo setup = a lot more than 6K !!!

How about be more specific with what you want, which may in turn give you more intellegent and helpful answers rather than this one, which is more a dig at a thread that is a waste of time.

When i bout the Car i was told that the turbos were the stock ones but re-built, the clutch was also replaced(dont ask with what coz i dont have a clue). but yeah, do you guys no of any good brands that you have used or currently useing that are up to the performance im after (the previose question that i re-wrote use that as a referance).

Good luck, your budget needs serious adjustment if you are targetting the power levels mentioned above.

350rwkw is beyond your budget by approx... $10,000

Is your motor even dead yet?

I was just about to ask this also.

Before spending money based on "your mates" judgement, how about having your engine compression and leak-down tested to confirm if the motor is in fact on the way out.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
