CP forged pistons 87mm

CP rings

App H beam rods

ARP 2000 caps

ARP main studs

oil gallery reducer

Head :

Brian crower springs

Brian crower retainers

step 2 cams

triple layer head gasket

ARP head bolts

N1 water pump

cometic full engine gasket kit

nismo engine mounts

braided lines on the essentials

044 fuel pump

700cc injectors with top feed rail

apexi radiator

controlled via power FC

probably more to come but theses are the items ill be knocking off the list first

Heres a few pics of the last motor i build

turbocharged straight 6 ford Eb. I know its no skyline but this was a very basic engine to build . Its how I got the confidence to do all the work on the gtr32.

looking at these pics you get the idea off how clean the gtr motor will look when its ready to drop back in . only it will be bigger and meaner :)

Mate, do yourself a favour and don't put an N1 oil pump on there without at least putting billet gears in the pump .

I would hate to hear of another destroyed engine , especially a nice built one .

+1 Just had JPC gears put in an N1 on my 26. Worth the extra money for the piece of mind.

thanks for the advice guys and yeah its so worth upgrading the oil pump gears for an extra $400 cant go wrong :)

oh how I cant wait to get back on the road with this beast .

f*k yeah tyranus cant wait to be another single turbo gtr monster :)

stay tuned people ill get things going and fill you all in with the build thanks for the support :)

hey guys iv been flat out at work getting the money organised for the bottom end work to go ahead.

this week the block is off to get machined, the plenum is off to get polished and parts are starting to get ordered from the USA.

I hav'nt had much time to work on the car but this weekend i did manage to spend a few hard but worthy hours stripping the front end down to where I want to start this build from.

After 6L of degreaser and some serious scrubbing the engine bay looks amazingly clean . I was intending on painting the bay but probably wont bother, who knew that good paint was hiding under there :)

Heres a few pics for you people :)

What are you doing for sump options? Going to add an extension or something?

I highly advise putting a crankcase vent on the inlet side of the sump above oil level and plumb that line to your breather can. -12AN should be sufficient, otherwise you can run 2 x -10AN lines. It should be easy to do if you already have your sump off.

Dont want to see you have oil control issues and spray oil all over your freshly cleaned engine bay! It's the worst feeling when you have oil dripping out of every crevice!

I know that precision make good quality turbos but iv been looking at the new hurricane series of T4 turbos from turbonetics and am happy with the price and overall quality, response and look of their turbos .

I aim to hit in the high 300kw area power wise. and i know people will say with that setup it will be easy but iv never had a big powered Gtr and arnt sure what to exspect. all i know is it will be shit loads of fun :)

cant wait to get this on the street :)

So the block went off to engine solutions in airport west yesterday :)

I rock up there and Dario the head dude there is just slapping togeather a little Rb30 - 26 combo that caught my eye :) running custom methanol pistons manley rods and half the hks catalogue lol

So he took a look at the bore on cylinder #1 and said I have to run either 86.5 or 87 mm pistons because of the damage due to detination.

I have chosen 86.5mm CP pistons and eagle rod combo . Acl bearings and arp bolts. parts will take about 4weeks to get to my place and then straight to engine solutions as Dario will be doing the assembling of the motor.

cant wait going to be sick :)

Hey people,

been a while since iv updated this build thread but things are moving along strongly with my GTR32 build.

front end is all back together and been fully restored. Pulled apart everything and degreased , replaced and refitted what i couldnt re use.

a new intercooler and oil trans cooler went on with pro flow lines and fittings thanks to VPW parts.

I picked up a second hand Greddy single turbo intake that looks boss :) and iv purchased a stainless steal steam pipe manifold T4 top mount that will house my T72 turbonetics turbo that iv ordered from the USA.

Engine solutions in airport west currently has the block , and are machining and boring out to 87mm to fit the new CP pistons and Eagle rod combo that i'm buying in the next few weeks . they are also machining the head and fitting new valves springs and tomei cams for me.

once all the motor work is complete, i will tow the car and motor to Edge Motorwork's and have them drop it all in for me and do the tune.

going to be epic i plan to have the car back on the road for September and I really want do a road trip to world time attack in october .

hope everyone likes the work :)

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
