[WA] RB28 T

Now we are coming to the conclusion of the build I thought I would chuck up a build thread of the overhaul of my R32 GTR completed by Galvsport in Perth, WA. If you haven’t heard of them I suggest you check them out on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/#!/Galvsport or the net http://www.galvsport.com/ really taking it to the next level for GTR’s and motorsport builds over here in WA.

Essentially I had a R32 GTST with a RB25 in it to compete in local motorsport, usual bolt ons etc delivering 375whp and this kept me happy for a brief period of time before the GTR bug bit, due to the plan from the get go being a built motor I found an example with a quality suspension and brake package with a popped motor and dropped it off to galvsport.

While awaiting its turn for Galvsport to start work, I had a Brad Stacey Weld in cage fitted, with the rear seat delete re-trim performed in house at Galvsport.

Also had the front dash and a few other interior bits and pieces flocked

Dropped, stripped, powder coates front and rear sub frame and re fitted with the Ikeya Formula gear that came with the car on the rear end, and Nismo gear for the front end.

Had the bay re-sprayed and a few other bits and pieces tidied up on the body

Scene missing, the motor assembled and dropped into place

Car drove off the Hoist last Friday and fired up first go, we will be getting some run in kms on it and a proper tune input for its first track outing early next week.

Cliff notes of the build:-

Brand New N1 Block

HKS 2.8 step 2 rotating assembly

HKS 272 cams and associated Valve train

Custom HKS cam covers made by GT Graphics

6 boost

Precision 6466 turbo

Flex fuel E85

ID2000’s

Aeromotive Eliminator pump

Speedflow lines

Getrag 6 speed box from R34 GTR

NPC Twin Plate clutch

Link G4+

Ikeya Formula rear end (not going to list it all to keep it brief, but you get the jist)

Nismo Front End (ditto)

AP Racing 4 spot front brakes

Project Mu Discs

2 x sparco Evo 3 seats

oh, also will be retaining a full functioning AC System - speedflow and galvsport can fix anything.

Thanks for reading and look forward to taking it to get some seat time at barbs and other local motorsport events ASAP.

Will update with results once it’s had its proper tune from All Star Garage.

I fail at getting pictures on SAU so as oppose to linked into the thread they are down the bottom.

Nice build mate, you must be stoked to finally have it back - makes great power clearly!

Any future plans for it or just keep as is for the time being and enjoy?

for the time being i will just keep it as it is, it has been nearly 2 years in the build and i want to enjoy it a bit and lay down some lap times. Maybe towards the end of the year look at doing some big boy alcon brakes and aftermarket diff setup. also needs a respray is currently 50 shades of grey.

What happened to the lm gt4s? Also the retrim looks quite good in the rear, nice job looking forward to more

swapped for XT7s

The March 5th, this Thursday, 9am to 4pm
Just needs cams license, If you never been to a tuning day, its very relaxed, and you go out when road cars are called.

No pressure, just a all day testing of your car, i believe its 30 minute sessions ( i forget ) and you get about 5 or so.

You can go out for 1 lap, comin, change stuff, then go straight back out again, one of the easiest track days you can goto.
No timing gear, so use ur phone.

[Hattori Hanzo 69]

need wascc membership i assume?

Ah yes, forgot about that.

If still interested, you can sign up for that on the day.

"late response"

 

Essentially I got some decent laps in up until September last year, when I moved overseas for work, and sold everything but the car. However, have recently sent it back into galvsport to prepare it for Racewars 2017.

Cliff Notes:-

> Holinger Sequential

> new tune and will lean on it a touch harder for 8,250rpm as oppose to 7,500 running last year.

> will get it wrapped

> fit up the new wheels with fresh rubber for the event

> sort out the 4wd gremlin

> Rebuild the shocks which were starting to let go towards end of last year.

 

hoping to get a few days at rac and barbs in while back in Perth!

[JH32]

Nice!!

[hattori hanzo]

Was just taking a trip down memory lane and researching bits and pieces for the next stage. 

 

Racewars is done and dusted and back over seas, got the HKS livery done and a few tweaks nothing too major. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next stage really consists of prep for RW18 (nothing major), overhauling the interior (all the dry carbon) and prepping to for export to the UK (where i am currently living) 

Livery is coming off, basically going to All Black. 

 

Watch this space 

 

 

 

[hattori hanzo]

Well seems I don't pay too much attention to SAU as of late. 

 

Racewars 18 was run with a big improvement over last year thanks to a retune from WA Racing Developments. 

and the HKS was removed in favour of some fresh panel and paint, with new rims to follow.  Thanks to Panelhaus in Canningvale for the so far top job, should be off to Madinc in the near future to protect the paint and I might get to drive it this year.
