hey all.

I really don post here much and haven't really introduced myself.

I have been in Vic for about 8 months and really like melbourne. I have been on sau for years and have had a few skylines.

anyway I thought I could make a bit of a diary of my respray, wheels and probably interior, I have a 1993 model R32 that was a non turbo. factory black.

I have since built a RB30DET for it using RB30e block and RB25de head. i built it myself and tuned it too. it is the first engine i have built and it was a great experience. anyway the 32 has some panel damage and it looks a bit tired so i have decided to respray it.

atm its factory black, has no sideskirts or pods, factory gtst bar and bonnet. but th rear guards have been pumped 2 inches and it has 19x9's up front and 17x10's at the rear. I really don't like too much attention so i wanted it to look stock but aggressive.

this is what it looks like now. except the guards are now pumped and it has a gtst front bar not GTR

but i have decided to paint it millenium jade and powder the wheels satin black

anyway is will be all done in about 2 weeks so i will post some pics when it has been done.

cheers!

Awesome effort on building you own rb30det :D

I should get mine back from the mechanic's early next week.

GREAT choice of colour too. There is a Commodore colour that is similar to the Millennium Jade and every time i see it, i imagine a Skyline with satin black rims and other satin touches, wicked colour!

You got to do something about your brake setup though :)

hehe thanks dudes :thumbsup:

yep the brake setup is all in bits waiting to go on. I have a set of r32 m spec calipers adapters and 326mm rotors. just have to get some decent pads and lines.

I am going to paint it without a kit. i really want it to look as low key as possible :banana:

I might fit a garage sirius front lip and leave it satin black but that's it.

I am still remapping ecu's and have done a few for people in vic so far. A basis remap and road tune will be $150 and will cover anything up to gtr injectors and a 2530/hiflow ect.

anyone going to the dyno day today? its in the events section

Sounds good man.. u doing the prep work for the respray yourself?

Incase ur wandering why i havent got the re-map off ya yet is because my car has been in the shop the last 2 and a 1/2 weeks getting resprayed R34 GTR Bayside Blue so havent had access to take out the ECU..

I get it back next Fri/Sat, so dont worry the week after im gonna grab that remap off ya :thumbsup:

hehe thanks dudes :yes:

yes i went to the dyno day, i asked you why you had blue badges!

hehe it all clicks together after i read your post :thumbsup:

Were you happy with the power? Was they dyno reading higher/lower than what you expected?

$150 includes the chip, socket and the tune?

Very good price, let us know via PM cause im real keen :banana:

Hey Nic! Great to see that you're moving even further ahead with your R32 - That paint/wheel combination will look sooo good! Great choice there.

BTW i just got my boost controller installed and dialed in at about 12-13psi and the car has responded very and goes heaps harder. Bit of tight squeeze to try make the dyno day today but will update you whenever i get another chance to put the car on the rollers. SEE THIS MAN FOR YOUR REMAPPING NEEDS! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

All the best with your car mate.

Cheers

Steve.

hehe thanks steve :(

no probs kosmokram :) whenever you are ready just give me a buzz.

Rekin, Hi mate :D that's funnny! i should have clued up to some sau dudes being there!

yep the price includes chip, socket and tune. i have all the tools to do it on the spot and don't really need a dyno. only if you are changing drastically from stock. and it will give you a real before and after.

yep the dyno reads low by quite a bit but the power curve was perfect. what did your car make?

the respray is going to be a dropp off and pick up 2 weeks later deal they are doing the lot. it's going to be a budget job and will cost $1600 it won't be a full show job by any means but i have seen their work and it looks good.

they will remove lights, bumpers, mirrors, trims, door handles and locks but will not pull out the glass. also just going to get the surfaces painted and door jambs, boot and engine bay will remain black. it's just a bit of a freshen up.

  • 3 weeks later...

Woo Hoo!

I pick up the car today. i just went and had a look at it and it looks hot! it's still in bits but will be ready to pick up this afternoon. the wheels are also done and will be going on tomorrow.

I will take some pics tomorrow and post them up.

yep :D

paying visits to check progress twice a week helped and paying cash on delivery also helps.

car looks awesome. its not a show job but looks good all the same.

glad the remap is in and working abu :rofl: enjoy the new GTR...

Nice work mate, nice choice on colour too! Should look great. Impressive work on the RB30, I've always wanted to build an engine myself, nothing like being thrown in the deep end to learn huh! Will be a bit a weapon in such a small car, can't wait to see it in action!

here are some last min pics. sprry for the shitty quality and bad compasition. I am jusing my mobile phone.

NEVER buy a samsung digital camera. they are the worst cameras. stupid piece of shit... worst purchase ever.

the photos make it look quite ordinary, but it looks mint! hope you likey... I will take some better photos as son as possible. you really can't see how much the rear guards are flared in the photos.

next purchase will be a black front lip

cheers!

Did you have to replace your windscreen when u get the spray? My panel beater says to me today oh by the way we have to replace your windscreen because when you take them off because they're glued theres a 90% chance it will smash and thats what happend.. Find that hard to beleive lol..

Its almost done!! Get it mid next week so Nick PM me your new mobile number man i might drop by next weekend for the re-map :D

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
