You car has come out mint, looks damn fast too, good all rounder, the best kind.

couple of questions for you if you have a minute to answer, your Cusco and UAS adjustable arms, how much noisier are they than stock rubber bushes, as in knocking, clunking, NHV etc. I'm kind of hoping that quality bits like Cusco wil be better, but even a quality spherical bearing joint must be noisier?

Also, i have the same Trust sump extension on my car, do you have aftermarket baffling or just the stock windage tray etc. with the extension welded on?

do you care to share your wheel alignment specs :D

I don't notice any NVH from any of the arms/joints. Actually you would be surprised how standard feeling the car feels, when I took it over the pits the guys there said it was so docile plus it's really quiet with the jasma cat back. The loudest thing now days is the fuel pump :unsure:

Its got the Trust extension, extended pickup and welded baffle that the kit comes with.

Alignment is pretty neutral, lots of front camber and castor, average rear camber and everything else fairly much neutral

New motor in and going with the Tomei Poncams (Type R) 250 x 9.1mm Went 590hp at 1.5bar and 670hp with 1.9bar. Didn't bother pushing any harder as I just want to see it's all good until I push it a b

Well GTR ownership is getting expensively depressing. Quaife ATB which has finally arrived this week and is being installed on the 6th of Jan. Rear diff has been rebuilt and tightened so it's

Finally back and running, the alignment got a bit stuffed up and they put toe out on the rear instead of in which made it interesting with delaminating tyres on the rear

Time for an update, last track night I went out in the wet and managed to chicken wing the front diff and torque steer a lot... All the way up to and including 5th gear which subsequently killed the front diff.

So after chasing these oil into catch can issues for a while I decided to bite the bullet, pull the motor out, replace the front diff and weld 2 fittings onto the sump. One is going to lead to the top of the catch can as a vent and the other to the bottom of the catch can as a vent/drain, all in dash 10 lines. At the moment they are blocked because we are running out of time and don't need it for powercruise this weekend which should be fun.

All back together and ready for Powercruise, just needs a wash now. Will try and sneak it on the dyno before the weekend to squeeze a bit more power out of the old girl.

How much boost is that?

Also wouldn't a line from the sump to the top of the catch can allow for oil to push its way up the line and into the catch can or is there not much pressure there once its venting?

Is it still the std headgasket and original motor? Your cars always kick a55! Glad you are an R32 owner and dont fiddle with 33s :)

It had a set of Grex cams and 1.2mm head gasket when it came from Japan (we assume it's a Greddy one as pretty much everything on the car was Trust/Greddy). When we had the sump off to put on the sump extension we checked out the internals and they are all OEM from 1991.

Since then all we have done is put on the Trust sump extension, Ati balancer, Reimax oil pump gears and now after the OEM head bolts stretched it has copped for ARP2000 head studs

Speed Event Series at Barbagallo on the 15th of December.

I finally got my catch can vent and drain plumbed in, just have to get the gearbox changed (and slipping in some Nismo engine mounts at the same time) then I'm ready to go :)

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
