So this is my r32, I've have had it for four years, not a huge amount of progress had been made, this probably has a lot to do with it being stored 300km away from where I live.

Anyway I'd best start from the beginning, I bought this R32 sedan off a guy from my uni, as a very tidy street car (in hindsight i wish I didn't) Originally it was an rb20de manual which has since been fitted with an Rb20det.

First thing and something that annoyed me was the towbar, so that got removed pretty quickly.

Bumper support had a small bit of rust on it so I tidied that up while I was there.

Since the car came with a GTR grille and bonnet, I thought I may as well get the bumper too. Needed to get the angle grinder onto the bumper support to get it to fit.

I did a few drift days and decided it needed a bit more grunt and some changes to the handling. This took longer than I expected. it sat in the shed for about two years before I decided to attack it. I've decided that this will be a full time track car as it's just going to be too hard to get any drift spec knuckles legal. The next set of posts are of work carried out within the last 10 months.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
