Hey guys so I'm Taylor and I'm from Alberta Canada. I'm new to the site and I'm looking at doing my first build on a R32 GTR. The engine has just under 80k on it and is sitting bone stock but it runs perfectly with no issues. The cars only problems are minor dents and peeling paint (as shown in the pictures). It also needs some interior work as it's missing rear window sill cover and air vent covers (also shown in the pictures). I'm looking for any advice you would all be able to give as far as costs of the paint job and fixing the dents (I know it will be no less then 4000) I'd also appreciate suggestions of good sites to visit to but parts! Finally I haven't decided where I want to take this car as far as the actual engine build any ideas suggestions or advice would really be appreciated !! Thanks!

Hi Taylor welcome to SAU. Your pics haven't uploaded so you might need to get that fixed before anyone can give you some advice and as far as cost of paint repair that may vary a fair bit between Canada and Aus but we can still help with advice. Get some pic's up and people will be more than happy to offer you some advice. As far as what direction you want to take the car what do you want to do with it? Just a street car? Street/occasional track day car or do you want to get into motorsport? Have a look through some of the other build threads as there's plenty of great ideas in them and SAU's not short of R32 GTR build threads either so plenty of stuff that will apply to you. Good luck with the build and looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

      Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      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 🍻
