Ben's R32 Gtst Build

[XRATED]

"I'll be converting the Crownie boxes to Alloy soon"

I'd love to see that magic trick... actually I'd like to see that magic trick in reverse! ha ha ha Alloy is cheaper than beer...

I cant wait to see the intake... If it works out well, I'm totally going to plagerise... ha ha

Cheers man, loving the build.

after months of deciding on an eye catching look for bens car we decided to copy this

it also ties in well with the animal theme that his dad started with the tiger.

[sav man]

and in other news damo has been seen in the bushes around primary schools.

I've had a paint sceme in mind for a while now... and it's not painted like an animal, cars painted like animals look stupid, dad proved that.

It's hard to get motivated when it's cold. I measured the suspension up today. Rear is easy to get good travel on. The front doesn't have alot of room for travel, you can only get about 60mm of travel at 345mm ride hight before the upper arm goes through the top of the tower. I'll reserch and play round with the ride hights on paper before i order the shocks

Now got job security, so it's back into the car.

I've ordered my air filters for the airbox (2x Merc 600SL), and a 044 to pump E85 goodness around.

Damo wired in the ABS this weekend

I got 3/4 of a alloy donut and started my intercooler piping on the

It's almost ready to weld, I didn't take pics of the last section, but it just needs the ends tidied up, then off to the welder.

Also got the seat mounted

[DJRIFT]

ben beat me to the pics but i thought id add some more pics to assist with other people wiring cars.

I use deutsch plugs for most of the bits that need plugs. these are by far the best plug you can buy. weather proof and higher current carrying capabilities than other similar sized plugs.

this is how they go together as such. this example is a plug for the ABS wheel sensor. the wire is 16gauge Mill spec is in PVC sleving which is my profered looming material. it makes the nicest neatest job of any loom but is a pain in the ass to do and probably adds 50% more time to any job.

next ois what i started with regarding all the ABS wiring

this shot shows that there is 2 looms mearging into one. a pice of heat-shrink is then slid over the top and once the 3 bits of PVC sleving are pulled into one the heat-shrink is then heated forming a seal between them all. On engine looms i use doubble walled heat-shrink that has a glue inside of it. when heated the glue goes runny and the heat-shrink pulls tight making some of the glue ooze out the end. this give an almost water tight seal and prevents the PVC sleving from pulling apart over time.

ill get a few more pics in the next week or so of the wiring into the switch pannel and fuse boxes.

Looking really good guys, love the work you've done with the interior thus far.

I made the turbo side piping today. it's almost ready to weld up, but the pipe that damo supplied wasn't long enough...apparently this is a normal occerence. Another 50mm or so of pipe should fix it.

Got some sensors for the Haltech (oil temp, oil pressure, fuel pressure, exhaust temp)

Air box MKII with one of two filters in. pretty much a copy of the GMS one. Need to get some alloy and make it now, and then design the top 1/2.

[paulR32gtr]

That airbox is going to be sweeet.

[sav man]

Got the intercooler piping ready to weld today. Took ages to file all the joins so there wasn't any gaps... welder says it makes his life much easier.

I got a surge tank during the week too

[sav man]

I got some more work done on the weekend

I cut the airbox out, and bent it up ready to weld.

I installed the Aero catches. They are are pain in the arse to install, but it's worth it when there in.

Also installed the belts, and finished suiding the interior

[sav man]

I got a heap of speedflow fittings for the surgetank setup.

I'm putting bulkhead connectors in the floor or the boot, will make it neat, and i won't have to worry about hoses rubbing on the hole in the floor

I'll get some hose tomorrow now i know the lengths, and then the setup will be done

[ausdutchey]

Good work going all out, must be a killer of your time but =P
