Nice one chris but get that bumper painted! :P

yeah, will get onto it when more pressing issues like coolant leaks are all fixed, chasing my tail with the plethora of heater hoses under the inlet manifold, fix one then another leaks, time to order a silicon kit & replace the lot i think

Hey guys hoping for a bit of a thread revival, as its good to just have a flick through and see whats arround. Anyone picked up a new car (R32 obviously) or major mods or changes to you current car?

Picked my new beasty up on Monday evening smile.gif

Fairly sure i saw you down at the Plex a few wednesday nights ago? possibly on the 11th?

Well heres a few pics of my Shitter, slowly coming along droped the motor in to see how much room i have to play with etc, plenum fouls on the clutch master cylinder :( so im not sure if i can find a more compact master cyl or modify plenum (dont want to) if anybody has fitted a plasmaman plenum on a neo in a 32 and has any advise feel free to shout out :)

Obviously a long way to go, will require custom pipework etc, but its a good feeling seeing the engine sitting in the car. rather than an empty shell collecting dust in the shed.

I have a 25 in my garage collecting dust at the moment because I'm still waiting on a gearbox. Mostly due to me being lazy and only just going out and getting a proper job but there is literally none around for sale. And when there was I had no money because I was to busy smoking ciggies and drinking export (yes I realise it's cheap but there is only so much you can buy on a centrelink budget)

Dont get into this section much, but since I'm having trouble making decisions i shall ask for some advice.

So basically I've decided instead of buying another car I'm going to build my street 32 up, but....

I'm torn between the idea of a 30/25 or just a 25.

I'll have anywhere up to 10k to spend on the project and I'm aiming for around 400hp.

I basically need reasons why or why not for either of the engine options.

Any help would be great guys!

Personaly id go back to a std one however you could remove the booster or get a pedal box. Both of these options will make it feel harder to brake and are not best for a street car but are do-able

Bit of an update. Goes way quicker than before. motor.jpg

Man thats taking weight reduction to the extreem!

Cheers for the reply though a bit late haha, It was the clutch master that was the problem not brake, ended up going and getting and R33 clutch master off mayhem (always helpfull) and that basicly sits an inch further into the firewall giving me an extra inch of clearance for the plenum.

lol sorry read it as brake not clutch *facepalm*

You should see how fast I can push it now. I'm a serious contender for the Stawell Gift next year.

Oh and it is extreme by the way :)

extreme to the max???

Good to see some 32's getting some work done to them, don't see many down here anymore. Did spot a 32GTR chasing a S15 yesterday though.

Mine on the other hand is moving slowly, Work is way to busy to make any progress on her

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
