Im new member on here and though id post up my R32 Sedan. Ive had it for about a year now and its slowly come together and ive learnt alot about car setup and driving etc being my first car and all ive done alrite couple of things i might change but so far so good.

MOTOR:

RB20DET

Xtreme Ceramic Clutch

GTR Front Mount

GTR Fuel Pump

Pod Filter

Turbosmart Type 2 BOV

3"in Turbo Back Exhaust ( Straight through no mufflers nothing )

2.5" Twin Straight Pipes Rear

SUSPENSION:

HSD Coilovers 10/8

Whiteline 22mm Front Swaybar ( Adjustable )

GTR Rear Swaybar

Poly Urethane SwayBar Bushes All Round

Castor Rods

Rear Upper Arms

Traction Rods

HICAS Lock Bar

Cusco Strut Brace

Rear Cradle Bushes

INSIDE:

Bride Zeta

Trust Harnnes

320mm Nardi

Detachable Boss Kit

Here are some picks of when i first got it and just put in my HSD Coilovers. Back when i thought super low cars were cool but soon found out they handeld like crap...

Then i lost my licence, so id though id chage the look too GTR front conversion, I got all the panels at different times and was unlucky about missing out on a pair of silver front gaurds but soon enough it will get painted one day but thats not inportant right now and it didnt really cost that much either to do...

And after 5 months have past and 3 days of having my licence back i still had my grove, the new setup i have now is great having everything adjustable and a good wheel alingment all works a treat im pretty happy how the car is atm...

So now im going to do an engine conversion it will take some time so ill still get some more track time and so forth before the new motor goes in. I was going just to do RB25 gear box and one piece tailshalft but then a RB25 motor came up for a reasonable price.

Ill keep everyone posted on whats going on etc so for now enjoy

The grill clipped right in the only reason it doesnt on your 32 cause you have late model head lights and for some straight reason they dont have the clips like on the projector head lights, the only ones that do have the clip in non projector style are the N1 headlights.

Yeah im looking forward to puttin in the RB25, it will be alot better than a crappy old RB20 haha

It could need alot of things, but ill just get the rears slightly pumped to accomodate my new 245's on the rear.

With the rims i got on there now they measure 17x9 +38, they just stick out of the rears and with a 30mm bolt on spacer up front they fill the GTR gaurds perfect.

Cheers mate!

Everything is genuine GTR, the Gaurds, Grill, Bonnet, Indicators and Front bar are all genuine items. I also got NISMO Side Skirts and Rear Pods aswel same as what Salad has on his R32 Sedan.

Haha cheers Nick!

Okay so i nearly forgotten about this thread and car... I didnt end up going the RB25 conversion... I went a differnet path as I personally wanted to do something different so Ive gone and done an SR20 conversion. When it first started it looked like this,

Then i decided i didnt want to run the intercooler in the engine bay etc so i have removed it, and also sold that China Radiator. So thanks to Darren Appleton i now have a Greddy Plenum and 100mm thick GTR cooler both off 180GO as its no longer SR powered for the 32. Also got a change of wheels and i got 6 WORK CR KAI's, just need a pair of 18x9.5 +12's for the rear and im pretty much set in that department. Here is a pick of the front, GTR front gaurds, WORK CR KAI's 17x9 +17 and 30mm bolt on spacers,

So about 6 months pass buy i havent touched the car since i dropped the new heart in pretty much due to work and family commitments ive been stock piling parts ready to go on

HKS 2530

P6020061.jpg

HKS Step One Cams, 256/264

P7150182.jpg

6 Boost Manifold

There are a few little things i have left out but ill cover them when i got some more spare time and remember to take pictures etc, So thats about it as of today i picked up my Adaptronic ECU and Coils and got 550cc NISMO Injectors on the way also, So starting day comes a little closer but still alot of work to do...

Well as ive not driven the car yet with the SR in place im still yet to find out, with the changes that have been done it should feel like a differet car but im yet to find out. Hoping after the new year to have ecu wired in and everything else put back together, and also hopefully buy the end of next week I should have this in my hands :spank:

600x400-20070709000811.jpg

Also im after an Apexi EL2 White Face Fuel Pressure Gauge, So far havent seen much around but its the last gauge I need to complete my set of Apexi Gauges, anyone seen any around?

The Boot Spoiler was $275 Delivered and I got it yesterday and it fits like a glove! As for wiring it will be an easy task for my mate to do, There will be a bit of relocating of things around to tidy up the engine bay a little bit more, Battery to the boot and wire in my full set of Apexi EL2 Gauges.

Next is Fuel System and wiring... wont be long now :O

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
