What's happening to your other R32 GTR?

Are you going to donate the engine from that being an ex Willal setup into this project?

Looking great. Can't wait to catchup again in the new year.

Mick

Mick, I dont have any plan for the black R32 at this stage but it will likely be return to stock and for sale. At the moment I don't have time or resource to build too many race cars. I still have the honda s2000 to finish off as well.

Tackling one thing at a time at this stage.

How is your N1 BNR32 going mate?

It has been slow....but is still making steady progress

I can't wait until the whole car is resprayed.

Hopefully I will then have some time to do the mechanical work coz that should not take too long to reinstall.

krayzie32, it's still in progress!

I bought a set of front fenders from a sponsor on here and it did not fit properly. The carbon doors did not fit perfectly as well. The car has been at a panel shop. These are finally fitted. The side skirt is being custom fitted at the moment. Then I like to get the rear bars for the roll cage redone to strengthen and tie in the rear struts with the rest of the cage. A custom wing mount is also needed.

Then it's off to the sand blaster and spray painter.

The rest of the mechanical work is easy and I can pull my fingers out to help with the spanner work;) Hopefully I can start testing it early next year ;)

Just a brief update :yes:

I was not too impressed with the cage after the last fabrication and did not have any luck to rebook the car to redo some of the work. I looked around and found another place. I had most of the additional bars to the existing cage removed and had them redone + added a few more :whistling: . Fingers crossed the car should be ready to send to the painter mid this week.

I will post some more details when time permits

0-200kmph in 2.6 lol, this car ran a 8.84 1/4 and the time slip of the gtr that ran 9.2 took over 6sec to get to 195kmph and is only .4 of a sec slower down the quarter.

So if your car can do 0-200 in 2.6 seconds, then it should be capable of low sixes? you do the maths.......

LOL old joke mate .... as I said chinese whisper (rumour) ..... and it doesn't matter because I have been testing the engine with a pair of Greddy T618Z turbo instead of the old T67....it will do 0-2000kph in many light years. Like it or lose it is up to you. This thread was made for some nice memoirs of the old girl and it's being made to go faster (hopefully) around the bend :cheers:

Would like to see more pics of htis build.

Shut up, dickwad. No one cares.

Awesome Mike. I am back from my oversea conference as well. Will get the whip out and get this car done in the next few months. Would love to have your inputs regarding the suspension ;) Thanks mate

I am sorry that I have not had much time to post the progresses. I have been so frantically organising and installing things to get this car ready for WTAC. I am not sure if it will meet the deadline because of a couple of hiccups and my busy work schedule. Here are a couple of camera phones to keep everyone posted. Will do proper summary later on

Engine bay with the undercoat. Kim did a really good job...keep telling him it's not a show car lol I ams sure he added tons of bogs

Then Peter finished it off with gun metal colour in engine bay and boot...really good quality painting

I installed engine and gearbox at a mate's workshop with help from a couple more mates

They then snapped a picture of me with the new engine bay lol

Some more fabrication work, which has costed a bomb. I should have learn how to tig weld before this project

Off to a full time panel beater and painter because my other mates have full time jobs and can only help after hours.

Aero and fitment touches on the front fenders

20120627_135013.jpg

Still a bit more to do but getting there

20120627_134757.jpg

I will post some more pics when the project is finished. Hopefully it will make it to Superlap. I don't think we will have any testing time. I am not expecting any crazy fast time because I will be driving it....which is something that I have not done for at least 3 years :( It will be a good track for shakedown :) Trying my best to make it happen.

Edited by 9krpm

i heard rumors the appocalipse was coming...... ;) . u just had to make my life harder.. as if andrew bartlett wasnt quick enough, i see this thing ...... looking very very impressive

Jenkies, I heard your is a real beast as well mate.

Mike, get your 33 going mate....that will be an epic as well.

Andrew, it will be good to get some lap time again. It's been a long time. I got to steal some secret or your race line soon mate ;)

    • 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.
