i own a R32 Nismo Edition, #219 its been resprayed midnight blue by the owner before me, but other than that inside and outside is all factory.... besides minor engine mods.

if you need any pics of special bits of the nismo 32 or lil things here and there, let me no mate. i can give you a hand going off my car.

nice to see another one geting built, this is the first ive seen bar mine.

my VIN is BNR100219 the 100 = NISMO

: D

Hey mate that's funny you say your car has been painted blue it must have been the thing to do to Nismo GTR's. I seen one for sale on yahoo a while back been painted bayside blue like mine has. Mine will be going back to gunmetal grey.

I'm happy to see any pics interior exterior dash engine bay it's always good to have something to work off if I get stuck.

My email is: [email protected]

same vin apart from 32 at the end.

I didn't realize anything of the car till I had it on the trailer heading home stopped at the shops and I had a another walk around it and thought something was up. It had no abs and no brake lines for the abs so it just hadn't been pulled off then I looked at the rear window no wiper then noticed soneone had put speakers ontop of the parcel shelf. So I thought I might so some digging on it.

Turns out to be #32. I brought it to turn into a full on track car but with only 560 built it will be worth something one day even with the engine mods it will have the engine bay will look stock

yer thats the same reason i brought mine, i only drive it maybe 1 once amonth, its just sits in the gargage under covers... haha if i was ever to paint it, it would also be goin back to gun grey, but in saying that the paint job it has atm is 100%. its a real good job.

Let me no if theres anything you need and ill send em asap.

cheers

That's funny hey same reason for buying it. I couldn't strip it out and turn it into an all out track car. I wish I got to drive mine once a month waiting for the $$$ to come better again to order the parts. If the paint it good then leave it till you want to put it back to orginal.

Will do mate any pics at all would be great

I know the feeling... I want to get sometime to work on my car. THe problem I run into is when I have time the car is at a shop, when I dont have time its in the garage...

Are you liking the NISTUNE? Gave the result and reliability your after? I am considering this is the way to go for me soon...

Yeah mate I know how you feel especially when the car sits there in front of me while I'm working on other things. But we have to earn cash to spend on these beasts.

Love nistune best ecu going around for street Nissan's even budget track cars does more than enough by far the top ecu for bang for buck.

All those Nissan ecu's people used to ditch and sell cheap not the case now when they can be turned into the same thing a power fc is.

I highly recomend them

Awesome... I am definately looking into it... My engine and box will be coming out in the next couple of months to do a turbo swap amongst other things so will need an ecu after i'm done...

Nice build!

Nice as mate what turbo's do you plan to use?? I do a stock gtr turbo rebuilt kit to steel wheel and 360 deg bearings brings them up to 500hp same as r34 gtr n1 turbos but they are ball bearing. I do them change over 1300. I'm using them on a clients rb26 in a gtst.

Thanks mate gone through many stages and ideas on how to build it and I think it will be a clean stock looking gtr with enough power to boot at 25psi

LOL! I think I bought a kit from you off ebay! I can rebuild them without any hassles and get them balanced locally... I'll let you know how it goes... I truly like reading your build...

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
