vu1992 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Hey guys , been on the forum for awhile never really posting just looking around parts and D.I.Y s So I thought might aswell start a build thread for the car. Here is my 1992 r32 gts , yer it's a gts I know , but after having a r34 gtt sedan, S15, r32 sedan, r32 gtr x, 300zx .... The list goes on .. I've decided that it would be nice to start with a car from the bottom and build it to my standards , and + I got it for real cheap all running Any who the car starts it's life as a rb20de manual , has a dodgy pod filter that isn't even held on properly and a poor paint job Not the best of conditions as the last owner/s seem to be a bit well.. The car should reflect there previous love towards her >> Hope to post as much as I can when free hope there's more to come Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/436043-from-the-bottom-r32-gts-build/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

vu1992 Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 So update guys just picked up a new boot and rear bar as the old one was painted poorly with a Can by the previous owner and was bent out of place . Started pulling her apart and converted her to 5 studs , looking into upgrading to braided lines but been hearing a lot of mixed feed back from them so thoughts on other skyline owners ? A sneak picture of the missus car next to it but all in all quite happy with her , interior dash is fairly good no cracks or bubbles which is a plus !

vu1992 Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 Update Just lowered her on tein super street coilovers , sits nice and low but still legal which I enjoy And off she went for roadworthy She passed aswell I got a gtr front and rear guards for her more so I can run wider rims and the difference in the hood was surprising Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/436043-from-the-bottom-r32-gts-build/#findComment-7153071 Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenCJR31 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Good to see someone doing something with a lower spec skyline (no offense)What are you planning engine wise? Keeping the rb20de or ya gunna go turbo? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/436043-from-the-bottom-r32-gts-build/#findComment-7153529 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vu1992 Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 Haha none taken it's true it is I believe a base model for a skyline but it's something that makes the car enjoyable instead of just buying a turbo model. I have an engine for her actually already lined up not going to tell anyone just yet but at kits just getting all the suspensions mods and braces placed in before the engine gets put In Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/436043-from-the-bottom-r32-gts-build/#findComment-7153596 Share on other sites More sharing options...

vu1992 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 Been along time since I've posted. Been a real hectic year but now I've kinda got the time to get back into this again so here I go. Firstly lets start with this . This little one came along:) Was a track car so I expected the worse so starting to replacing parts here and there. As this was going on this happened So now that cars going to insurance and have to deal with fixing this white one quicker stay tuned;) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/436043-from-the-bottom-r32-gts-build/#findComment-7438132 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vu1992 Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 So the car was in limp mode and had problems with the spark , Checked the Afm and changed the igniter and coilpacks to see if it would resolve it and nothing . so after a week of pulling my hair and trying to figure what the heck was wrong I took a look at the wiring in the ecu . Turns out the Afm wiring and the wiring for the coilpacks had been hacked apart D: So now just re wiring everything even in this weather Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/436043-from-the-bottom-r32-gts-build/#findComment-7438574 Share on other sites More sharing options...
