So this is the beginning of my ultra slow build.

The car is a R32 GTST in white, was previously used as a Drift/Track car at Matsuri and various other places and now im looking to "restore" it for road and partial track use.

The car was stripped out and was slowly being converted into a track car, i traded my boat for this and intended on building a Daily thats comfortable.

The list is very long for parts that are needed and work to be done.

Part needed:

A/C & heater Unit (everything)

Wiring Harness (Whole car)

bonnet

front and rear bar

Interior (pretty much everything)

sunroof (whole unit)

bonnet clip

headlights

front indicators

driver side tail light

paint

tyres

all 4 rotors

Pads

FMIC and piping

boost/fuel/various other controllers

stereo

lots of other bits and pieces

Due to work (AV tech so lots of night and weekend work) and money (have a kid) this will be slow going but will be done right and enjoyably.

I have owned a fair few cars in the past, fords, holdens, a R31 S2 silouhette 2x C210s and a stagea RS4 S1.

My Current Daily is the stagea and have a Datsun tucked away in a secret location for my next project.

This is not my first turbo car (stagea was) but this is my first turbo build up so its going to be a little bit of a learning curve.

anyways i hope this is enjoyable and inspires others to build their own personal piece of skyline history. Enjoy!

... looks very doable... I'd probably get the chassis checked over before diving head first into restoring it (chassis damage and rust mostly).

.. all these r32 gts-t build threads are really want Another r32 gts-t

cheers mate!

i think there is a little rust in the drivers sill under the side skirt.. :unsure:

the plan is to mechanically check things out and create a job list then strip it down (mostly) and send it to the paint shop/panel beaters and get them to go over it

you should do it, they are a fun little car and a helluva lotta fun!!

  • 1 month later...

So i have been having trouble starting and running the car lately, finally got a chance to look at it (it lives at my in-laws) and it turns out the previous owner cut into the fuel pump wires and made a mess of it, all restored to factory and started first time, and no mis-fire without the tubo connected and AVC-R installed... still a long way to go but another step closer

    • 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" 😉
    • 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  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • 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 🍻
