My 94 R32 Gt-R Build Diary


Recommended Posts

Hey Pete! Ive been wanting to come over but when i do our GT-R talk goes on and on and on lol i dont want to distract you from your work.

Brendo is a gun, im very happy with his work and i wont go to anyone else.

That hpyertune plenum is... just wow, WOW. When i first saw it i couldn't believe how high quality the finish was. Its amazing, almost feel bad putting it onto the head and into my engine bay lol..It was well worth the wait, my hpyertune V2 FMIC is due to come in next week if not today im curious to see how that turns out.

Ive decided to go with a different turbo setup, when we get the chance to catch up ill fill you in. And as for that window guy he is one cocky mother f**ker. But we put him in his place and he ran into his shop like the bitch he is lol.

Swing past on Sunday afternoons and evenings. its the time and day/evening that im sort of free to slack off and talk (supposed to be working on ours), Monday to Saturday im under the pump with work. :)

Yes i heard about the turbo, best move you made, could never work out why you were building around a T51R dinosaurous (was going to be your turbos nick name), now your talking about some good shit.

Still planning a dirty 30 next?

3.2L stroker.....DO IT!!!!!!! (if you can afford it) :D

Ill call you on Sunday and ill come past. The turbo im getting is going to be a touch laggy on my 2.8 but im future proofing myself for my RB32 build. Fortunately i do have the money so yes i will be doing it lol.

Remind me to talk to you about strokers, rod stroke ratios and side loads on the pistons and bores when you come over.

In a nutshell make sure you anti friction coat your pistons like we did on our 26/30 when you go 3.2L, the latest 2.8 and 3.4 big power stroker tear downs are showing high side loads on cylinder walls and pistons at a few workshops, James's 3.4L 2JZ got coated on the freshen up after Barry found excessive loads on the bores.

I think its the rod stroke ratio thats not helping as its half way down the bore when the rods at its max angle.....pistons were coated to help reduce the wear pattern on rebuild.

The ideally rod stroke ratio is around 1.75:1, the lower you go down from that ratio, the more side loading, the higher you go the more chance of detonation as the piston stays up top for too long.

The lower the ratio, the faster you can safely rev the engine as the piston is traveling slower down the bore, hence why 2.8L like to rev and do so safely, higher ratios get the same piston speeds at lower revs, hence why you dont reed to rev a RB30 (yet RIPS takes them to over 10,000Rpm).

RB26 rod stroke ratio is 1.65:1

RB28 rod stroke ratio is 1.56:1

RB30 rod stroke ratio is 1.77:1

RB32 rod stroke ratio is 1.68:1

RB34 rod stroke ratio is 1.62:1

3.2L is not far off the mark........

Bring your camera to get shots of our catch can.

Cheers Pete, looking forward to another lecture from the GT-R KING himself lol.

That plenum is beautiful!!!!!

Keep up the great work, looks like a lot of fun

Cheers Jordy.

Dont forget to read this to lay the power down and get good launches, thought id let the cat out of the bag.....

Barry should have no issues doing it for you, i promised to show him 6-9 months ago but didnt get around to it yet as i dont have much time during my long working hours, now you can show him for me and he can start offering the service.

The mod is done while the box is out, simply swap the transfer case from your stock box over to the dog box when you get it.

Edit, Henry will understand it, i gave him a hint about it while he was working on a noisy LSD on a FWD Honda (Civic?), mentioned the clutch pack arrangement mod to him while it was out and he understood me, its exactly the same principal.

Just spent this arvo making a new windage tray for the same sump as yours by hand, a bit of a twist to the original tomie one.

Will show you when you pop over.

Dont call, just swing past 12 onwards man, ill probably be up late tonight. :)

Nice, cooler Sedat, 14 plates.

Whats the inner diameter of the cooler pipes, thickness of the cooler?

Looks somewhere around 100mm in the pics.

Got pics of the inside through the pipes, wouldnt mind seeing how it looks inside where the plates are.

Whats the core dimensions?

Maybe next time you swing past bring it so we can have a look at it.

Next time i come past ill bring it along for you.

Awesome build mate! What kind of compression is your motor going to have?

Cheers Pete! I havent decided on my comp yet.. it wont be anything to high.

    • I’m sure this has been discussed many times. But anyone have any or know someone that is selling genuine N1 rear pods? I’m still shocked no one replicates these yet. Looking to buy some. Added a photo of the part. 👍🏻
    • Hello, The dog bone wont have much to do with this - the calliper applies a load about the disc - the outside of the calliper is more flexible than the inside by virtue of it not haveing the big torqued down bolts, additional metal structure on the caliper itself, and mostly not being cantilevered. So the outside of the calliper is pushing away as its more bendy and brining the inside with it as an equal pressure on both sides of the caliper looks to cause more flex on the outside - which makes sense. I have done this same thing with the calliper unbolted from the dog bone - same thing happens. Although id have to watch more carefully to see how much more the outside moves than the inside in this case. Im guessing there is a point in the pedals travel where the pressure is not actually increasing in the system - its just volumne displacemnt - and because the outside of the calliper is more flexy, it receives that volume. Have gone back to Alcon again - but beyond a resolution there I would stay clear of this calliper and possibly any of the lighweight type of callipers - especially if you have the smaller 15/16" master cylinder. Cheers.
    • Yes, you can very clearly see from more than one angle that it is the whole caliper moving left-right, not deformation of the caliper. The top moves, the bottom moves. Equally. It should be possible to see where the movement is occurring. Just need to look more closely.
    • Hi Folks, my 2009 Skyline 370GT “Crossover” wagon is losing water and has been diagnosed as needing a water pump replacement (it’s an internal timing-chain driven unit, not the usual electric type that seems to be used across many manufacturers). Am looking for any repairer recommendations in the Sydney /Wollongong region who can be trusted and are experienced in this sort of work on the VQ 36 engine. Many thanks….Bill
    • While all of the above makes sense, we're not talking about some Ling Long calipers of AliExpress; Alcon would have to be one of the top 5 caliper suppliers in the world and these are not their budget units. If there were manufacturing defects in the caliper causing this issue I'd be very disappointed. Having re-watched the video a few times I think it's dog bone/mount related. The caliper moves independently to the rest of the suspension and brake assembly which suggests to me that it's not mounted rigidly. I know this sounds stupid, but have you got enough thread on the retaining bolts or are they a poofteenth too long and it's not super tight? For axial movement to be occurring without deforming the caliper that can be the only answer.
