R32 Project Street/track


Recommended Posts

hey guys,

So begins my a long journey to be. I was looking around for a r32 for a while as i had had enough of my e30 bmw and it's never ending issues. Saw this come up on carsales one morning and jumped on it 155000 genuine kms, apexi catback with muffler removed, Tein Super Streets, Volk Gtp's, Greddy turbo timer, Gay raceboi momo steering wheel, Cooling pro front mount, hks pod filter, Super cold A/C, Nismo 550cc injectors, gfb valve which i believe is leaking, Picked it up for the handsome sum of $6000 with 6 months rwc and rego, I drove it up from Brisbane Easter sunday.

Man what a trip dropped into limp home mode twice and popped a front tyre. Got home and found 3 boost clamps loose. So fitted 3 new ones and bolted down the hard pipe. While i was looking around found the fuel pump regulator hose was off so there was another boost leak, the charcoal canister lines were also not bolted up. Previous owner was a pilot in training and had no mechanical idea!!!! Car was bogging down from time to time so i pulled the afm and cleaned it and no more limp home mode YAY!!! Car still bogs down from time to time when going from full throttle to part so i'm thinking bov is leaking. So far im loving it. Fitted 2 new 215/45/17 eagle f1's to the front since i had to replace the popped one with a 235 and it was rubbing. So anyway ON WITH THE PICS

Resoldered the afm joints today.... Definetly reccomend it to everyone made a heap of difference. Also stripped the bov wet n dryed it and re lubed it. Helped with the fluttering. Gave it a service with some motul 8100 excess as the old oil was FILTH. New fuel filter and all new fuel hoses. Covered the cross pipe over the radiator with reflective heat tape from work. Don't notice a difference but cleans it up as the old one was tarnished.

Found my cooler was rubbing on my front bar from the shit install job the P/O did. When i pulled it off and had a look i found a lovely suprise. Cooling Pro Coolers ARE SHIT.

hahah well their actually not to bad. The tyre fitters just used a short wheel socket instead of an alloy wheel nut socket which is much longer and grabs on the full length of the nut. And cheers

    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
