My R32 Gtr Build

[adam Foster]

For a while ive been wanting to get back into a skyline, since i sold me R33 gtst with RB26 a few years ago which cost me a wallet and a half. Brought the car for 10500 picked it up drove 10km down the road and it spun a bearing rebuild cost me 6000 ish and sold car for 7500 needed the cash for deposit on a house.

I have now been able to free up some cash for a toy so i started looking found a neat R32 gtst with rb26 and few goodies aurtronic -5 turbos on the for sale part of the site.

picked the car up start of Feb put a few extra bits on it (new clutch oil cooler semi slick) plan was to make a track car time trails and power cruises and that kind of stuff.

I took it down to the sydney power cruise and had a blast. just in the races got smashed by a r35 gtr expected lol but got me thinking a gtr would be better, better resell value in the future and 4wd

i started looking for a gtr and found a R32 gtr with a great body just had a engine issue just started to spin its bearing. picked it up for a good price and didnt want to go through the rebuilt stage again i decided to pull the motor out of the gtst and put all the good bit into the gtr and sell the rest of the left overs currently in the parts section.

im currently up to pulling th motor out of the gtst. motor is out of the gtr to see how bad it was and if it had and decent parts in it. nothing good a stock motor which has been rebuilt twice befor and and not worth the time so stripping it out.

My plan is to get the gtr running and put a fuel system for e85 race fuel.

get the sump modified and pretty much flog it untill it dies

here are some pics and will keep it updated.

few quick questions if anyone knows or time will just work it out

the gtst has a gtr loom which has been modified for the aurtronic cdi and smc will that go straight into the gtr.

any other thing that will be smart to do befor putting the motor into the gtr
