R32 Gtr, The Final Build

Recommended Posts

Had a play at No Limits last night, first time in ages that I've been to Barbagallo (I think it's been a year) and I had a great time.


Just managed to break my old track record with a 61.53 long track and pulled about half a second off my best short track time with a 53.31 which I think puts me the fastest R32 GTR on short track now. Best part about it was both were done very easily, the new Quaife diff pulls hard through the longer turns and my laps were getting faster and faster each session. I think a 60 second long track was easily achievable in the next session but unfortunately a Torana dumped oil all along the front straight which took a fair while to clean up and then we switched over to short track. Might be able to do a 59 after all, don't think that a 52 short track is too far away either :)

Some updates as I've slowly been doing some small reliability improvements and updates, just trying to make it a better car...

Looks good!!

Interested to see how the te37s fit in that size.

Have you driven the car with the alcons? Interested to see what you think of them.

Same, I had been tossing up getting a set in that size (18x10.5+15) but saw a pic that sub_boy on the UK forums put up of that size on his car and they sat outside the guard a fair bit? Good looking rims though, nice job.

    • Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.   
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
    • Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
