R32 Project Street/track

[beemae30]

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

Played with her a bit today. Got rid of the carbon canister and fitted a antenna adapter so i can finally listen to the radio.

Insulated the A/c lines as some of the conduit had fallen off.

Definetly tidies up the engine bay not having a charcoal canister

[beemae30]

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.

Don't know how u dint an inner fin like that but they did it.

It leaks oh well solder it up.

Score 550 yen

This stuff is awesome

Awesome tyre fitters

Took some more photos,

Anyone know what front bar this is?

d1 spec - i'll remember not to buy their wheel nuts lol

kit on that red 32 is vertex

[beemae30]

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

Nice little stainless bracket for the ignitor module.

Coil-overs are awesome
