RBLUV Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hey guys, not a massive project or overhaul but a build thread none the less, My names Kyle and from Melbourne, now 26 and owned an R32 GTS-T for 6 years when i turned 18 and for some stupid reason sold it. Drove K11 Micras around for 3 years and on Sunday i finally bought my dream car an R32 GT-R. Some people dream of Ferrari's and Lamborghini's but for me an R32 GT-R is the ultimate car in my eyes to own. Found it on carsales and fell in love, motor had already been built and it has already been resprayed, two of the biggest things that cost money and for the price it was well worth snapping it up so Sunday i flew up to Sydney and fell in love for the second time (I'm married lol). Drove it back and am well impressed, body feels tight and had no issues on the way back. Here's spec list from the sale thread, am yet to have anything verified by anyone I only got it Sunday so... Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 112XXX on the body allegedly however I've got the import papers from when it was imported in 2006 and it was imported with 112,200km's on it so somehow the odometer has gone backwards (yes sarcasm intended). 8,500km's on the motor since rebuild. BODY: Full respray in GT-R Spark Silver Metallic KL0 Front lip resprayed, plastic in ducts removed Guard indicators deleted N1 front bar ducts Carbon rear boot lip Front number plate side mounted Aftermarket headlights inside has been painted black Aftermarket clear front indicators. Plastic weather strips HID headlights N1 GT-R skirts INTERIOR: Stock front and rear seats MOMO sports steering wheel No name brand shifter Shadow Racing gauges Clarion head unit Tinted windows ENGINE: Claimed 220awkw standard boost forged rebuild, was built at Unique Autosports, I'm going to email them see if they have all the details on the build, i have receipts for: ACL pistons Gates timing belt N1 oil pump Nitto extended crank collar Also came with: R34 GT-R engine covers painted gold Clear cam gear cover Apexi NUR catback Aftermarket downpipes Factory airbox and BOVs NDC race bearings Machined head. R33 GT-R turbos Trust FMIC 50mm stainless radiator Exedy HD clutch IMPUL ECU SUSPENSION/WHEELS: G4 coilovers Adjustable camber arms Neotech castor arms 18x9.5 Enkei RPF1's with 225/35 Federal SS595's Its an awesome car to drive, pulls like a champ although has 4th gear syncro issues so can be a pain to get in sometimes, my plans for it are: Remove MOMO wheel and replace with standard, much prefer the standard over any sports wheel. Remove shadow gauges and install either Apexi or Defi water temp and boost. Find new dash and replace. Replace gear boot and handbrake boot. Replace stereo fascia as it is cracked. Either get some fatter tyres for the wheels or buy new wheels and sell Enkei's. I wasn't super keen on the Enkei's to begin with and the size tyre on it is just stupid, it aint no drifter! Get a boost controller and put some more boost through it, may start looking to build a decent motor down the track. Install Trust DD exhaust instead of Apexi one. Remove carbon lip and install body coloured fibreglass one. Install factory weather shields. Install early model headlights (square type) Remove rear NISMO badge (don't even think there's a NISMO item on the car) Install stock floor mats I'm sure the list will get longer and longer but for now I'm just going to enjoy the shit out of it until November when the reg is up then decide whether to garage it and club/historic reg or keep it full. I plan on keeping this car for a very long time. Cheers CC's welcome!

Ben C34 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Nice car dude. I'm sure you will enjoy it. You need to look at getting a shroud around that fan, they are very inefficient without it.

sonicz Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Not a fan of the clear position lights. for some reason In my mind an R32 has to have the old school orange position light Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/440371-kyles-r32-gt-r-the-dream-is-finally-reality/#findComment-7224639 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a good idea actually thanks didn't even look for that! I'd say its been left out because of the thicker radiator definitely look into it. Not a fan of the clear position lights. for some reason In my mind an R32 has to have the old school orange position light Yeah i don't like them either, orange are definitely on the cards.

Hadouken Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Replace those turbos if you want to run more boost. Or risk blowing a turbo and taking the motor with it.

RBN1 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Looks like a great base to start off with mate. Not a fan of the clear position lights. for some reason In my mind an R32 has to have the old school orange position light Personally I think the indicator/headlight combo he has looks great Only thing that bothers me is when people start messing with the tail lights. Wheels look good too, will look good with some 265's on them? They're +22 Offset?

Wheels look good too, will look good with some 265's on them? They're +22 Offset? Not too sure on the offset ill have to have a look when I take them off. Im not sure if I want to keep the wheels I do like them but I think im after something a bit more period correct Anyone else with a GT-R jump on here https://www.facebook.com/groups/GTRclubaus/ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/440371-kyles-r32-gt-r-the-dream-is-finally-reality/#findComment-7228728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
