hey all

well its been a while but i thought i might update this spot with my new car. i know its not a 4 door but its what the budget let me get. i was lucky enought to pic up a 92 moddel r32 2 door with an rb25de in it. it is classed as a race only import so i got it exteemly cheap.

i was also able to trace its post japan history (for some reason i love finding it all out) it was imported with a full GTR body kit including bonnet grill ect, on it and then sold on through 2 or 3 people untill it landed with a bloke that had a gtst race car. he stole everything GTR off it but inturn tossed the 4 stud hubs and inadiqate brakes away and put the normal 5 stud and gtst brakes on it. his plan was to use it for hill climbs because of the throttle response over the lag of his race car.

after my car got stolen i had found 2 or 3 possible new ones but after many late nights thinking about it this car was chosen mainly for the rb25de because of the possible engine combos i could do.

so after it arived at my shed myself and my handy offsider (chad) started fitting in all the gear that was salveged from the old car. this was pretty much just suspension bits. it was then decided that my rb25det gearbox would have to go into the new beast with being a drift only car in mind the strong box was the definate choise. while this was going on it was found that the NA diff was definatly a single spinner so the old auto diff was making its way onto the car aswell. this ment that everything from the back of the engine was now swapped right throught to the hubbs.

all this however caused a lot of little problems along the way with burnt bits from the fire and what not. a custom gbox cross member was also made up to fit the new box.

so the car was sitting very low and strong just a few days before an event i had planned on entering. a grass motorkhana just for fun. this was to find all the faults with it before it hit the tarmack. which it found plenty. the pic below is of chad in the car. lets just say he wants a 32 now to. haha.

the car had sat for a few weeks after this while i decided what i would do engine wise. in the end after much debate with friends and workshops i decided that for the time being it would become a simple rb25 de+t using some standard rb25det items to help it along. with future plans of a bigger turbo and head gasket or and rb30 bottom end.

all the stuff is now sitting ready to go on and i have now 6 weeks to get it on and tuned ready for super drift when it comes to tassy on the first weekend in march. 6 week plan gives me a few weeks lead up for practice.

i am not going to list to many of the mods as i dont want this car to be stolen again but one thing done slightly different was the choise of a haltech e11 to handel the engine side of things. this casuing a few dramas because of having to start from scratch with the mapping.

so stay tuned for some more updates as it all goes together.

OH and there is a pic of the unfinished vented bonnet ive always wanted to make.

So some time in late 06 i brought my first import that came a sad demise. then i got a track car that i still have now and have just recently brought my newest addition. a R32 4 door.

DSC03102-1.jpg

its only stock at the moment and the body is about as rough as the old silver one but its factor manual and it a daily driver but ive already spent a few hours fixing bits here and there. a friend of mine is fixing and prepping a new front bar boot lid and a few other parts to help turn this into just a nice streeter for now.

i just read through the old thread and geeez ive learnt a lot since then but my passion to keep tinkering with skylines hassent faded. Between 4 of my good friends we own 9 r32s and a few wrecks and enough surplus parts to keep them running.

There is 2 original parts that live on from my silver 4 door. the diff which is in my drift car and a passenger side mirror that was removed for replacement gannadoors which is now fitted to my new 4 door after having some stuff fall on the it in my shed braking the its mirror.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
