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 ;)

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
