Ben's R32 Gtst Build

They are the wrong offset, and i am a tight ass which means i dont spend lots on wheels so forever hunting that bargain :down: 332mm are perfect as you can run Alcon, Brembo, Stoptech rotors etc. Running 343 means i am locked into less variety

i was just trying to scare everyone into thinking that ben had progressed faster then expected.

thats my rb25de head which is very similar to an rb20det head.

i will make a build thread when its on and working as i dont like to boast about things untill its complete. as it was i thought it was all good to go untill i found i had left a part of the manifold off during all of my test fitting. back to the drawing board for part of it but a night in the shed with ben and i working on it and we had it all sorted. its gonna be sick.

well i now have myself a rb20 :) and a date for the first round of the Tas Super Series. Last thing to choose is what highflow I want to use.

i heard TD06'es came out standard on some r32s :D

I'll be getting a set of wheel bearings next, and puttin the gtr rear hubs in, and abs front hubs in. And scouting the wreckers for a Auto VY commodore to rape and pillage.

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
