Here's today's efforts, we have stood around for the last 3hrs having a few beers appreciating our last 2 and 1/2 years + of effort and myself, my brother and the old boy are extremely proud of this car and $200 000 + later, it is worth every cent and probably wouldn't change a thing on it and I must say for a backyarder shed job it would have to be the best R32 GTR i have ever witnessed personally and can't wait to go toe to toe with the worlds best. I still can't believe how awesome this machine looks it makes the R33 look like shit hahaha!!!!! A few more things like the carbon aerolatches and the doors skins and windscreen wipers are about all thats left and a good day of cleaning it and its ready for the photoshoot, hopefully gracing the cover of HPI Magazine very soon. The first person who scratches this car my old man with probably kill them but at the end of the day this car was made to break records and hopefully the R32 will deliver ...as long as the driver has it all under control, 8.7sec here we come. P.S for those that are curious the back of the car is 10mm higher than the front, it was just the un-even ground the car was parked on that why it looked weird thumbsup.gif.

Here's some more pics:

AME Tracer TM-02 19x9.5 +22 with Advan AD08 275/30 R19

i was always of the opinion that 19's were too big for an r32, that is, until i picked up my replacement r32 & after looking at your pics as well as the gun metal r32gtr garage saurus with carbon panels...it really confirms for me that 19's are the way to go!

looks awesome mate. I love it. makes me think my next GTR will be white too. I had a nice white 32 a few years back and always had a bit of a soft spot for them. hope it runs fast like you want it too. :)

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
