Hey guys,

New to the club but here is my history.

Bought R32 GTR in 2006, came with:

HKS 2530s, Seller didnt know and i didnt notice til 3 months later lol

Upgraded injectors

Twin plate ATS clutch

Trust front mount

ARC airbox.

HKS Boost controller

HKS Turbo Timer

Since then have added:

80mm AFM with pod filters

Apexi Power FC with hand controller

Aluminium radiator

Oil cooler and filter relocation kit

Relocated battery to back floor.( Dont have friends that are game enough to get in the car with me lol)

Alcon 4 piston front brakes

New head with Type B cams and stronger valve springs

HICAS locked up, and all plumbing etc removed

A/C removed and all pipework

N1 Water pump

Have had a run of bad luck though, Water pump died and cooked head, new head installed and 3 weeks later threw rod out side of block at the hairpin at Symmons.

Bought long motor to put in, decided to do a monstor build on that motor, ran out of time before the start of my car club season so purchased a complete but wrote off car, put the motor in with my brand new head and fully rebuilt turbos only to find a had an idle problem. Spent some time chasing that problem and now the oil pressure has dropped. Havent even pulled the motor out as im that annoyed lol.

Will continue building my monstor motor and will put that in bout xmas time, fingers crossed.

So yeah, atm i am twiddling my thumbs and getting some other projects out of the way, finishing my car trailers( Which i dont need anymore as i dont have a car to

tow around lol and gathering up some money to finish off the new motor.

So far for the new motor i have:

Chemically cleaned and bored block 87mm

Venolia pistons

Eagle rods with ARP Bolts

ARP main stud kit

ARP head stud kit

Sump baffle( Am thinking bout getting an enlarged sump though, something around 8 litres or so)

ACL bearings

Brand new 33 crank

Rebuilt head with stainless valves and Type B cams

Ross Tuffbond balancer

Adjustable Cam gears

Only need to get a bigger oil pump and get my turbos checked and get the whole lot balanced and screw the thing together and im laughing.

Anyways, will keep you all posted

Pointa

First motor= 11.84 1/4mile, 328 RWKW, 1min 3 at symmons

Guesty, drive harder lol

Dont let this happen to you, buy a sump baffle at the least, i shouldve built a decent motor the first time

Good to see you got two real cars

The 32 and a two door Torana.

Pity its not a Hatch is all... :)

You heading down to the kart track in Smithton this weekend for a look??

Taking my GTR out for its maiden Australian track day. (The harness mounts etc kinda give away that it was raced in Japan ;) )

Alex with the grey gtr on 20s here, whos not game enough to come for a drive haha!?

HAHAHAHAHA, very funny mate, just you wait til i have it back on the road, i will be game then, especially if we put a decent wager on it ha ha ha

Yeah got 2 real cars, the 2 door torana is my baby, the 32 is just my bitch hahaha.

There is something a bit sentimental about 2 door LJ's, i think its got something to do with them beating GT falcons at bathurst, call them the underdog if you like :P

What day is the kart track day? Wouldnt mind going for a look but i got a fair bit on my plate atm, if i do go it will only be for a few hours,

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
