Hi Guys,

i want to introduce my R32 GTST to you.

Here's the story:

Since 2009 i was looking for a Skyline, first i was looking for a R34 coupe, later for the 4 door.

But in germany we have a BIIIG problem: the united kingdom with some shit boxes of skylines full of rust and out of service is just around the corner, so over here are a lot of these for stupid money.. its really sad..

So i wanted to import my car directly from JP, but not an r34. I saw so much videos from ebisu, full of R32's, so i wanted to know why they like them so much. So i started to investigate a lot and it sounds quit interesting: they wasn't very expensive, the RB20 is a very reliable, high reving engine and it doesn't cost much to get more HP.

So i decided to look for one with my importer. It took about 4 month (..) to find my actual car.

When it arrived, i was a bit shocked: the paint was quit horrible, the carbon bonnet was in bad condition, with a crack, which i have fixed:

Also i ripped everything out of the car, i just wanted to get a clean shell with 2 seats, a engine and 4 wheels on it wub.gif

Here are the pictures:

It was really hard to get all outlaughing-smiley-014.gif

And my best idea on that afternoon:

Lets stickerbomb the door

The next day i installed my Takata 4 Point 3" saftybelt

Over the summer i had no interest to spend money into parts, i just wanted to drive/drift itcheers.gif

I COULD register the car for this year, it just passed the german TÜV (Technischer Überwachungs Verein - technical inspection group), which is in australia the road worthy certificate. Now the winter is on the way, so its quit stupid to drive it. Especially because when there is just a 0.01% change of snow, the administrative authorities give the order to strew salt on the streets and what that makes with your car should be known..

So over the winter i will paint it in a really cool color, also fit +20mm over fenders for the rear arches, to let it look just like its driven by an bad ass thanks.gif

I also will do a "little" bit tuning on the engine, let me just say: RB24DETthumbsup.gif

(I hope to get help and support with my project, in europe is nobody who has done that. I hope i'm not to stupid for it sweat.gif)

When something happened, i will post it right here.

Hope you enjoyed my story, have a nice day guys.

Cheers

Hi guys,

first: thanks for the welcoming.

Time to post some news.

I just ordered 6 650cc injectors for my RB24 project, my 2 way diff is also coming back to me on monday. So it starts to get hot.

Oh, just forgot, the design for the paintjob is done, now i just need to wait 2 month and buy the lacquerworship.gif

cheers

I'm not sure, because it shouldn't be a "until-5k-nothing,after-that-hell-on-earth" one,

thinking of the GT3582 right now, but the turbo is the last bit i'm going to buy whistling.gif

With an autobahn outside the front door, it may not be an oversized turbo.

devil.gif But to be honest, i want to use it as a drift machine, not a AMG killer, thats to boring pinch.gif

I just read in the 24 site RB24 thread that he used that turbo, so i thought it would be a good idea.

I'm looking for a turbo that isn't to lazy an starts spooling at maximum 3.500 RPM.

But now there is a problem: the bodywork is going to be more expensive than I thought, so i would run the stock RB20 and buy a exchange engine to build up rolleyes.gif

Oh, here is a little update as well:

Just bought a pair of rear overfenders

R32 overfenders

cheers

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
