Ha ha, yeah, damn guys wanting engines built.

Hey Steve-o, looked like you got into some trouble on the day lol. When I get the car sorted I'll go. Would of loved to go, but no cash and was working on the R :) I think I like the lip painted, fills it out!

This is lowered to around 115mm on front lip, I like!!

They said do a little burnout, so I did

Anyway, the others there Jez and Dean with responsive 2.6's like yours were pretty damn quick so it will suit you to a tee :D

^ That's the one I was looking at lol, epic!

Matt, yeah I can do an engine bay ;)

Springs I was going to look into were a set of tanabe progressive rate coils, something Terry mentioned a while back. I'm going to follow that path.

Springs are on order.

I'm also going to rebuild the front suspension assy. A few noises that annoy me when turning.

So it's getting new front wheel bearings,

bushes for a arms and castor rod,

New inner and outer ball joints,

And maybe a reco set of CV shafts.

New discs! and pads

More $$$$!

Also got the twin turbo pipe modded with a separator welded in to smooth the air from each turbo, boost is now more stable overall, and less prone to shuffle.

Chris at craved coatings in Penrith did it for me.

Cost around $170, just unbolted it and he did the rest, cleaning,

cutting, welding, grinding and cleaning.

I'd suggest you ring him to get an accurate price though.

Hey Chris, Thanks for the comment! and yes I ended up selling the Rota's. Just love the CE28N's.

J_R32,

The manifolds, I didn't touch this time. Couldn't be bothered with this setup. On my 32GTR with 2530's I did port match the manifolds to the head and turbo flange.

If it comes off again, I'll probably do it though.

The car has been off the road for a while now. Still sorting out what I'm going to do to the front brakes, as finding a replacement set of rotors is a pain.

New front driveshaft is here, and I am halfway through putting a HKS oil cooler kit in with a filter relocation kit. This has a thermostat, unlike the old one I had on my previous car.

Cough cough, $$$$ that I don't have at the moment!!! >_< Also don't have any cars going.

Also found that the top inner front suspension arm bushes on both sides are stuffed and need to be replaced.

On a good note, I have found a source for some new discs, so I'm not selling the brakes now!

Pic of kit. More pics soon.

Thats a nice HKS oil cooler, where did you pick that up from!!! lol

Ha ha, it's a good bit of kit Bob! Thanks again.

Got the oil cooler kit in and did an oil change. Oil lines are no rubbing, secure and out of the way. Only thing left to do is to make a mount for the oil filter base.

I hate doing these installs, because there is bugger all room to do stuff up under the plenum.

Started it up and let it run for 10 minutes, checked oil pressure, gave it a few revs, all good. Not one drop of oil leaking anywhere! Gotta love jap kits!! :banana:

Just waiting on discs and nismo bushes for the upper arms. Also scratched wheel bearings, and ball joints off the list as they are not needed.

Also made my own spanner just to fit under the plenum to do up the unions.

Also cut the slots out on the inner guard for the oil cooler to serve as an outlet.

Thanks Tin! Nice colour 34 you got there!! Also that's a nice dyno graph I saw today at the dyno. Good for a comparison when you've done some improvements :thumbsup: .

Bushes are in and suspension is back together.

Still gotta do brake discs as they haven't come in yet, but put the car on the road for now as I'm sick of not driving it!

It's still creaking!!!!!when I angle up driveways. It's not the swaybar or bushes either. I'm guessing Castor bushes have had it....but they look ok?

Yeah my R32 GT-R creeks up driveways and stuff like that. Almost sounds like its coming from my front guard with the stiff suspension causing flex or something (that was my guess). Never even occurred to me to be castor bushes.

Wheels look great on the car btw, alot better than the rotas :thumbsup:

nice mate. good job on the oil cooler instal and good man for creating an exit path for the air. they are nearly useless without one :)

and yeah the jap oil cooler kits are expensive compared to the chinese ones but they are worth every penny. they are better in about a dozen ways I can think of...

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
