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

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,

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      Valve clearance for RB25det series 2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
