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 :D

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 :)

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 !post-121260-13866652604734_thumb.jpg

Update

Just lowered her on tein super street coilovers , sits nice and low but still legal which I enjoy :Dpost-121260-13878950123339_thumb.jpg

And off she went for roadworthy :)post-121260-13878950499979_thumb.jpg

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 post-121260-13878951345036_thumb.jpg

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 :P but at kits just getting all the suspensions mods and braces placed in before the engine gets put In

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 . post-121260-1417772987887_thumb.jpgpost-121260-14177730205505_thumb.jpg

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;)

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

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
