Install seat and seat belt and it can be driven.

But before it gets driven it will get some semis and bolt on flares and a bit more weight reduction and some tidying up.

Still deciding whether to leave the torsen diff in it for it's first outing or put my mech center in now.

Do you see now why we said your car was too pretty to be a nugget?

yeah, it was dumheds.

the torsen is a really nice street diff, they are great when you have weight over both wheels and provide good drive (so no single spinning the inside like a shagged viscous) but once you unweight or lift the inside wheel it goes open as you apply throttle.

with my penchant for bouncing off kerbs i can see it not working for me too well.

Also dumhed had issues with it spinning up on med to fast sweepers so he installed the big rice wing to keep a bit of load over the arse end which helped. That didn't come with the car so it will have that problem if i don't change the diff.

tmb is waiting to see how the new light weight bonnet turns out.

If it's good i'm sure he will give you the contact details.

Both boot and bonnet require pins so no good for street cars....

Eventually it will get a turbo.

I already have the 3071 off the old car and i have a low km s15 engine that i picked up as a partial trade on some bits.

So there's a new rear housing, manifold, cams, springs, rocker arm stoppers, gate, and head gasket to get into it before install.

The car already has an s15 pfc installed so it's an easy swap.

short term is get some flares, get some new semis on my 17x9 +25 sterns, tidy it up a bit and drive it.

Not so short term is full re wire, more weight reduction, and some paint.

Engine is a long term one. So about 6 months or so depending on money :)

The r32 was scary. This thing will be in a different league once it gets a turbo. The previous owner has already got it into the 9's as it stands and i used to dive past it on the straights like it was standing still....

My old GTR diff does that but you can drive around it. Just have to drive better. (I'm not saying I do - just that I can tell the difference between getting a corner right and getting it wrong.)

bah! I'd rather cover for my lack of ability by jamming a better diff in it at zero cost :D

Sound like you need to invest in a nismo clutch pack bob :O

That's the way. I would.

One day, that would be nice, in the meantime I just try to drive smoothly.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
