Thinking...time attack. Maybe the only thing the wife will be on board with. I won't be doing any physical car work for a couple months at least.
Notice there are NO brake marks in the picture at the end of the road...

I'm not going to talk about what happened yet but seems throttle stuck and I had no brakes at all. 20171216_195420.jpgdownload_20171217_180044.jpgdownload_20171217_180037.jpgdownload_20171217_180012.jpg

Been awhile... But I'm coming back to life slowly. 2 cracked vertebrae are definitely in there. Back brace and very light duty for 2-3 months, but no surgery needed. I was extremely fortunate (thank God).

 

Good news is I picked up this beauty local. Gts-4 that needs a little work but he has all the parts to put it back together save for a hood and front bumper. Oh and I bought my car back from insurance! It's destiny is the widebody gutted caged racecar I should have built in the first place!

 

Things to look forward to gentlemen. Less weight, more grip, safer car!

So wait, you're putting the stuff into the GTS4 shell and turning that into the track car, or turning the GTR into a track car and turning the gts4 into the every day fun car?

 

Also, sorry to hear about the inccident

GTR chassis is pretty much bent in half. All the GTR stuff into GTS4 as full caged track car. Super widebody though is the plan.

Plot twist - Made a deal on this.

Motor runs well. New -7 turbos, new exedy hyper single clutch, intakes, exhaust, new HKS hipermax coilovers, stock interior, stock paint (not perfect, but workable), perfect dash. No wrecks from anywhere I can tell. Also comes with new in box Haltech platinum PNP.

Getting excited! Found it local just about when I was getting the GTS-4 put back together.

I will say the -7 were a little more laggy than I was expecting. I guess stroker + EFR has totally spoiled me.

Sorry apparently had something on my camera lens. Oh and the car was super dirty from sitting in a warehouse for months.

Well...Lots of other projects out of the way. New house, new move, same hurt back (but I manage). Finished most of my other racecar projects (couple of E36 M3's with LS swaps and a MR2 Spyder with a 2zz 6 speed swap), but I'm getting back at it gents. Get ready...should be really really fun this time. The crank was FINE on the RB28 and I'm going to be putting all this back together soon enough!!! STAY TUNED!

Well this popped up for sale about 6 hours from me for a very fair price. I like that it's still pretty stock. It does have downpipe, full exhaust, and coilovers...but check out that stock airbox! (forgive me I've never seen one in person on the 10 or so R32's I have seen). I will keep this one stock and build the other chassis into a pretty healthy racecar.

A lot of people replace the standard air filter setup but the stock airbox is good for around 400kw. My Racepace built 32R uses a stock airbox still. In fact i went from a K&N pod filter kit back to stock airbox.

Car looks good. From the engine bay shot, it also has a Nismo strut brace with the BMC stopper built in.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
