For those of you who know me I thought that I would start a little thread on the "re-build" of the Silver R32 Gtst that we know and love (well I know I do)...

As you may know, my R32 has been around for a while (since selling my R31) and has gradually undergone just about every bolt on enhancement that you can get... But it all came to a sticky end on June 21st of this year when we went to Wakefield Park.

I somehow managed to pop a less than 2 year old Garrett GT30/71R turbo, break an Xtreme clutches ceramic button clutch, badly damage the flywheel and destroy the water pump all in one lap!! (It must have been Reece's fault cos he was riding shotgun when it happened).

Anywho... I have a new Exedy clutch, machined flywheel, genuine Nissan water pump and best of all a brand new Garret GT30/76R turbo!! :(

For your enjoyment I will be adding updates as the rebuild progresses :)

Cheers

Mick

I bolted the new turbo up to the manifold last night... Its a very snug fit! I may need to install an engine damper to reduce engine movement because the wastegate actuator is VERY close to the strut tower! :(

This is a comparison between the old GT30/71 and the new 30/76 (its definitely bigger!).

Can you take me for a spin when it's up and running plz?. Considering which turbo I should get, would like to see how yours performs.

Certainly can Chris, when its all finished and tuned Im hoping to make 250 - 260rwkw I dont want to push the engine to hard (standard internals).

what a nugget

Mini Twoogle? :(

    • 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!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
