Never tarmac rallies with this, but did got along to a few in my 34 which I still have. Hoping to do a few more at some point in the not too distant future. 

This car will remain track fun focused free from any rules. Getting back in to some events, some goodies to be added in due course.

Doing the 6hr Phillip Island relay in it this weekend, with a few of the SAU Vic crew. Will be strange not trying to go full pace but will be good fun weekend with mates.

You still competing in anything?

Yeah sounds like good fun, it is easy too get sucked in to levels of motorsport that are expensive and competitive but not as much fun. 

My car is off the road since a tree pruning incident at Great Tarmac Rally a couple of years back. It is straight (enough) again and being slowly put back together now, but the reality is that a R32 GTR is kind of a dumb thing to rally these days given their value and cost/difficulty to repair. If/when rallies get going again we will probably runs something newer and cheaper/easier to repair like a 400z

  • Duncan changed the title to Paul's R32 Gtr Track Build

Brakes completely transformed, zero gripes with them now. Consistent progressive reliable pedal, endless stopping, didn't lock a wheel all weekend on very old A050s.

Setup is:

  • Front AP CP5555 calipers, some might say are too small for the rotor but they work so eh
  • Front rotor 375x36/5mm
  • Front pads Pagid RS29
  • Rear standard rebuilt calipers with some Project Mu pads on stock solid rotors
  • Fresh BM50 + booster
  • GKTech ABS delete kit

    • 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.
