hey every one thought ild make a build thread im rather new to this forum, im 15 an have recently purchased a r32 gtst 1990 manuel its been in a little accident so it needs a little bit of work but its a good start an will keep me occupied the car has been sitting in the guys garage for 4 years. heres a few mods the car already has

r33 turbo nearly new got put on just before the crash

3'' turbo back

hks coil overs

hks turbo timer

blitz boost controller

walbro fuel pump(recently fitted as old one was gummed up as i put new /used injectors in

55mm aluminium radiator

reprogrammed ecu

an heaps of other things just carnt think of them bit tired from school.

i brought a gtr radiator support that im going to be welding on shorting ive also got a gtr intercooler for it aswell ill post some pics now of before the car was crashed an now,

ill post some more when im on my good computer an have alot more pictures of it, the plan is to put it back to gtr front end with a cf hood an all gtr other parts,

im doing the timing belt an water pump at the moment so its ready to go once i get it registered im going to do some track days at winton with it an phillipisland as i race my 250gp bike there an want to take this for a spin around there.

this might take a while to complete as im still going to school an only work part time at a engineering shop an buy an resell stuff on ebay an i have to pay for my bike racing as well what is quite dear especially when you have to put a new piston in your bike every 6 hours(1race meet)

but it will get there

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
