Hey guys names Joey I live in Caboolture and this is the build for my r32 gtst, I was originally building the motor to put in my rodeo ute but later decided that a motor with all the parts I had chose to use deserved to be in a better car so I was on the hunt for an R32. After searching for a couple of months I found this (which my little brother loved).post-132812-14209711519319_thumb.jpgpost-132812-14209711631474_thumb.jpg

After a couple months of collecting parts I went to pick up my Tein super streets from Mercury Motorsports and saw this post-132812-14209711858823_thumb.jpgpost-132812-14209711957662_thumb.jpg

And after about 30 minutes of talking about it with my little brother he decided he was going to buy the black one off me and I would buy the yellow one so It got put at a tow truckpost-132812-1420971261881_thumb.jpg

Next I started pulling the existing engine and gearbox out which only took about 3 hours to Pull it all outpost-132812-142106466379_thumb.jpg

Now the engine was ready to be sent off to be machined so that everything was and good and better got a couple of pictures while the machining was being done, the block was bored, honed and acid bathed an the crank was balanced and a crank collar was fitted. The original crank that came with the block turned out to be bent but I luckily found one quickly and it pretty cheap.

The machinist cleaned up the ports, put in new valve springs new retainers skimmed the head a little and cleaned out the lifters.

As you can see I have went with the plazmaman plenum, throttlebody and the black plazmaman fuel rail. Exhaust manifold is a t3 single entry 6boost and the turbo is a GTX3582r with a .82 rear housing

So done a bit of work on the car over the weekend, we mocked up the surge tank and my external fuel pump only took a photo of the car on the hoist though, but will post some pics of where the pump and tank are sitting as we aren't putting it in the boot.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
    • I've managed to find this: Nissan_Stagea_AutechVersion260RS (1).pdf
    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly.
