Bnr32 - Once In A Lifetime Build All Gt-R Owners Must See


Recommended Posts

Yep. I sent him a pm regarding the same. But he is a busy, busy, busy boy.

Tein type flex were actually what I was looking at getting but they are discontinued. I think Tein coilovers are to harsh for our roads here. I think Bilstien are the way to go (although I have a thing for Tein)

Still juggling with coilovers, but will sort it out soon enough.

You just gonna recond the gearbox or something more exotic?

Yeah don't think the Tein's will be much use for what I am after....hopefully after talking with Gary and we'll both be on the right track!

Gearbox just a clean up man and some fresh Redline oil

I am certain he wont mind receiving an email, even if he is busy.

Robbie - you have PM

:cheers:

You're a legend Richard. Shot him an email today. Thanks again mate

Decided not to run the Nismo clutch line, instead went with the HPI line (thanks to PaulR32gtr build thread!) as removes the below:

y HICAS hard lines out as well, just the speedo cable left now

Why did you decide on the HPI as opposed to the NISMO product?

Hey Ruben, yeah mate Michael is onto it ha....the HPI line is direct from master straight to the slave and deletes all the hard line junk as seen in the photo

Good job!

This is something I could never do cuz when ever I work on some thing it explodes.

Great choice on Rims too!

Cheers Michael, ha classic mate definitely hope explodes on this one! Yeah I think the rims should work pretty nice against the fresh gunmetal grey paint work...

I keep going over it all in my head and hope it turns out to what I have pictured!

Well last night was a good one, late and pissing fkn rain here, but finally took delivery of these:

1. Ganador CF mirrors

They those diff bushes that were on ebay? Where a bargain if so!

I know the ones you mean ha, but got mine from a member on here for even cheaper :w00t:

Made a bit of progress today, good weather for working in the shed and watching the V8's...

Finally got the last of the HICAS system out, thank fk!

Love the Project Mu rotors Robbie. Personally I'm not a fan of the Ganador mirrors, they look great but hard to see out of. IMHO

It's interesting to me to see the condition of the parts as your pulling them off and replacing/fixing. I wonder if others are seeing what condition there GTR would be in.....

^^^^^^^ This. I think it's more the condition of a 20 year old car though. There are allot of bushes etc that people forget about. I think I might have to add a full susspention bush replacement to my list!!!

True dat ^. When you buy one a refresh, if it hasn't been done, is in order. Thats where the big cashish comes in !!

It's almost, at least it was to me, to refresh pretty much everything mechanical or moves. Including engine re-build - lmao

Although I paid for most to be done I never got to see to this detail the condition of old, so I'm lovin this thread.

Good build :)

They are nice, will do some comparison shots once stock fronts are off. Will see how Ganador's go, have always wanted to own a since I first saw them so many years ago...will be keeping standard mirrors as well.

Made a bit of progress on the weekend, the old boy and I knocked this guy up which will come in handy to fit rear subframe back up when the time comes

So much time goes into doing jobs like this! Shed should be a pretty good workshop by the time it's done....

Subframe got a clean down ready to start disassembly

Also, got these items back from coating, exhaust shields and hanger in ceramic

Nice one Robbie.

It's good to get things accomplished.

Your not wrong in saying that jobs like this take a lot of time. Majority of it is about having a plan and being organized just like the rear subframe bench you fabricated.

It all goes a long way but at least you know the work is done correctly and to your liking.

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • 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.
