I have just recently brought a 32 GTR, off a mate who had it for 5years, (has been in storage most of the time since he bought it), so am writing this quick post to see if im on the right track or if anyone can help me in my cause to find a bit out about it !

The car has always been a bit of an unknown, it runs N1 Block, Hks 272 stg2 cams, Hks spec head, 2860-7turbos, nismo 100mm cooler, greddy intercooler piping, hks oil cooler, brembo brakes, trust gracer side skirts and rear pods, recaro seats, N1 fiberglas bonnet and plenty of other suff, and the old girl makes 515hp at all 4's on 20psi. (Can supply dyno sheets in a couple of weeks when i get back home for the haters)

I always thought that it was just a standard Gtr that someone had played with, from the motor and all the custom bits on it, even the paint was custom (use to be metal flake white with pearl), but i went into my nissan dealer the other day to buy some parts and put the vin into the fast system, and it turned out to be a 7/93 V-Spec (Nissan dealer saying V-Spec II), so i was pretty happy with that, just makes it a bit more special. So after trolling around plenty of sites in the last couple of days, I have found that the motor is out of a N1 somewhere after the 3rd Feb 1997 due to the engine number having the first 5 numbers being RB26068XXX on the outside of the engine block it has got in the casting 24U so i know its legit. I got this info from this page ( http://www.webbersrb...isters&Itemid=2 )

After my local Nissan dealer printed me off a copy of the "fast" they did, I have also downloaded the latest fast system for windows, and have put in the Vin aswell which comes up with Model:KBNR32RBFSAA, Series:R32, PROD: 07/93, Colour: KH2 (Grey) Body: 2K (2 Door ??), Engine: RB26DETT, Drive: HI.4WD (Hicas 4WD), Grade: GTR.17 (Vspec),

This is what i have made from my Fast, Now the guy at the Nissan dealership is trying to tell me that my car is a V-Spec II but from my research mine is only a V-Spec, as V-Spec II's didnt come out untill 94, So i dont know, as it is such a bitsa,

I have also read that an air bag was an option on the V-Spec now, mine doesnt have an air bag in the steering wheel it just has the stock R32 Gtr wheel on it, but it has all the warning decals on the sun visor and a sticker in the glovebox saying its meant to have one in the wheel, (Has the air bag been removed ??)

I have seen some people on SAU, who use the fast program can bring up the factory options that have been taken from factory, if anyone can help me work out the fast so i can do the same would be great, is there anyway to trace the car back into japan ?..

And YES i know the wheels look gay and it has no side skirts lol

Thanks for reading

IIs were April 94 onwards only (as you have said) so yours would have to be a I. N1 bonnets were still alloy, not fiberglass. Mine still has all the warning labels as well, pretty sure they just put the warnings in no matter what.

P.S. You really need to change the colour..

I think mine has that airbag warning thing too so like you said they all had that warning label.

Sounds like you have got yourself a nice model though with it being a V-Spec and an N1 block and its putting out good power.

As you have pointed out it is crying out for some nice wheels and I agree with iplen about the colour. From the pictures it looks like the bonnet is white? I would respray it white or silver but not necessarily the original white or silver from Nissan but something similar from a more modern car to make it look a bit more modern.

I should ask what are your plans for the car?

Thanks bud, yea it makes good power, ^^^^ As for the hater i have only been told -7 turbos, but i have seen the old dyno sheet from its last tune years ago for 515hp. So thats all that really matters doesent it...

Yea i was stoked when i found out it was v-spec, just need to find some gay BBS v-spec rims for when i sell it lol. Yea the bonnet is white and the boot is black if you look closey, i have only owned the car for 8 weeks now and i work away on a LNG project so have only been home for 1 week, so havent had much time to do anything yet but wash it. I got some plans for it get the bonnet and boot painted the same colour as the car, get the front bar fixed up and find some Trust GRacer side skirts, as thats what use to be on there, and is running the Trust rear pods. Also put the blue mirrors back on and get rid og those granador carbon fibre ones. The car use to be a mica white colour with a very slight pearl, i must admit that i did prefer the white colour, but hey its got 500hp and for the price i paid im never going to whinge, the colour now is the mazda 6 blue with pearl, it does look better in real life, would prob look a bit better if i didnt have such a sh*tty camera. As for wheels i'm looking at getting some R35 Gtr rims for it, have seen one 32gtr with them on already and they fill the guards out so well. If i can find a set i will run with some r34 rims or TE37's, engine wise just a trust dog box, that prob about it for now i want to use it on the track when im home, so the setup its got now is pretty good

Im trying to put a pic of when it was whit but its not letting me

Still would like to take you up on that offer.

400kw out of -7's is crazy. Hence i would like to witness this phenomenon

That's sweet mate I'll put it up in a couple of weeks after its retune, and then you will be able to go and annoy someone else on their thread. How does that sound ?

I like the colour.

There's always going to be haters lol, i don't know a lot about FI but that is some impressive power would be interesting to see what you'd run down a 1/4 mile.

Oh and VOLK TE 37's would look the sex!

Great find bro.

Thanks mate, yea very happy with it. Yea F*ck the haters they prob drive aorund in VN Commodores anyway, with hektik pod filters lol

Yea will be interesting, i'll definately throw some slicks on the ass of it ! Put some semis on the front so it sill feels half normal !

Whats your v35 go like ?

Yep lol, usually jealousy. Sweeet, i know a guy that has a R32 GTR as a drag car and hits 9.4 down the 1/4 mile and it's mental.. would be good to see what you can pull.

Yeah good man, i'm on my greens so it's NA. Runs 14.2 1/4 mile with CAI and no other engine mods aha so it's a good p plater car i will pretty much beat any other p plate legal car apart from a SV6 commy one beat me by .6 of a second on the strip..

are you going to do any mods to it or you just waiting to come off your p plates and turbo it ? got a mate who got 350z who single turboed it makes 370 on a na motor, goes good its a hks kit i think

my -7's, 350kws (469hp) no more puff - all gonski's.

Expect my Dyno Dynamics lied a little too.

RB26 Forgie with Tomie Poncams

Suggest your Turbo's are something larger. But it doesn't matter.

Good figures

Cheers sinista, as I said earlier I don't really know exactly what size I'm only going off what I have been told for the turbo size, all I can see is there is garrett on the housing and Hks actuators and what looks like a Hks plaque. I guess I'll find out out when I pull them off one day. What psi did your turbos push before they ran out of puff ?

SHeez good numbers, got a graph in the dyno section? il have a look.

Well at the moment i'm doing a lot of interior and external mods, i do have a Kinetix V+ Intake manifold sitting in my garage that i can't install for insurance purposes.. that will increase high end power and i'm really keen to strap it on but i have t change insurers first.

I have new rims in transit, have plans for exhaust and changing to an emblemless grille and cf wrapped mirrors you know just little exterior shit. Also doing double din sound conversion in the next few months. I'm pretty happy with the power, to be honest i think once i'm on my opens i'll sell it and by then i'll have enough money for a R34 GTR. Always loved them and would be so happy owning one!

326kws at 18psi

350kws at 21psi

I wonder if yours are HKS 2530's ? Good for 400kws+

    • 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.
