R32 Gtr, The Final Build

[DPB]

that gauge panel looks neat as have a good reference now as its exactly what i want to do in my 32 and the rest of the car is rad so many big name parts make it an awsome package

[SimonR32]

Got the rear housing ceramic coated

and got half way through installing it today

[SimonR32]

In the mean time I have been busy starting to do the suspension mods needed for the track. More on the way but here is a start.

Pulled out the entire HICAS system and replaced the power steering pump and reservoir with one from a R33 GTR. Also managed to pull out the all the air con, for more weight saving and then installed;

Hicas Lock Bar

Subframe Aluminium Lock Bushes

Cusco Castor Rods

Solid Steering Rack Spacer

[SimonR32]

UAS pivoting front camber arms arrived today... I ordered the "race" spec ones that are apparently the 3rd version of development. Cost an arm and a leg so hopefully worth it.

[SimonR32]

Hi-Octane Cam Baffles arrived in the mail

[SimonR32]

New front brakes are on, CSC 4-piston calipers with 343x32mm 2 piece rotors

Behind the new wheels which are Enkei NT03 18x10+18 all around

Cusco front Castor rods and swaybar done

Cusco rear swaybar in and HICAS lock bar installed

and UAS pivoting front camber arms are good to go

What is the GReddy spacer for at the bottom of your front hubs?

Is this to raise the front roll center?

Yeah Greddy roll center correction.

Makes me want a 32 GTR even more now.

Nice buy. Needs P1s, or I refuse to believe this is your car.

Final builds are a myth lol

Well I do need a set of 17" wheels with good brake clearance for the track haha

Apparently I'm banned from getting another set though, looking at a set of RPF1 17x9.5 +18 for now... Just need to check clearance first

RPF1's are very nice too.

But you know they aren't P1's...

[SimonR32]

Rear Brakes have arrived, R34 GTR Brembos. They are a bit beaten up so I'm going to send them off to get painted (can't decide on either red to match the front or just black).

[SimonR32]

Spewing, tried some RPF1's last night and they don't clear the brakes...

Back to the drawing board

[SimonR32]

Getting there slowly, managed to run the loom through the guard, ceramic coated dump and turbo are now on and freshly powdercoated cam covers (with baffles) now installed.

More Cusco fun arrived today. Rear camber and Traction rods!

Also managed to pick up a Cusco strut brace for front and rear second hand so I'm just about all Cusco'd out

[JohnGTR]

Good stuff ... love the detail on getting it to turn corners and stop!!

You've done this before??

It's my 4th R32 so I guess I've done it all before

Went from

R32 Gts-t RB20

R32 GTR RB26

R32 Gts-t RB25

to this R32 GTR

Hence the final build... Damn things send me broke

[JohnGTR]

HA ...thats why when I saw my car for sale with all the goodies it was a $20K changeover but let's not go there as the budget is well and truly blown again. I love these cars!!
