Hello land down under. Just wanted to share my r32 build since we are finally cool in the states haha. I know its pretty old for you all. Anyways, last December I bought my dream car. The bad thing was it is a June 1990 model. US law states that it has to be 25 years old to the build date to be legal. So I had to wait.....still waiting lol. Should be here around the 28th of July. It's on the boat now.

Anyways, being a pretty hardcore s13 enthusiast I have been in the nissan game for a long while. I am kind of a nismo fanatic. But will go a different direction on parts where I think I should.

Lets get to some pictures.

The car was bought from global auto. I bought the car through GTR Garage. The back story that I came to understand is that this car has been garage kept its whole life. It has 88,000 KM on it. The owner focused more on suspension than doing any kind of heavy tuning. He wanted to harness the stock power. He took the car to HKS kansai to have the work done. So it naturally has HKS parts on it. Here is the list.

1990 BNR32 GTR build. 49,000 original miles (this is how I bought it) RB26DETT
Fujitsubo Legalis-R Evolution Exhaust,
HKS Iridium Plugs,

Nismo Shift Knob,
Nismo Floor Mats,

So I am starting with a pretty clean, well maintained slate. Which is what I like. I'm going to try and keep this thing as clean and tasteful as physically possible. I plan on keeping the body totally stock as is. No nismo vents or anything. Just how it is. For some reason this bare bones stock look has grown on me.

I have been steady buying up parts for this car and have already had some lying around for years that I planned on using on my s13. Here are a few pictures of what will be going on the car for now. I have focused more so on small little OEM and nismo dress up options, along with a few performance pieces. My main focus is keeping it clean and very tasteful. I want to keep the car on an "original" kind of basis. Nothing way to crazy as I want the car to still remain a r32 GTR not some super built track monster. Just a fun street car that can perform on the track when I want to have a little fun.

Reached the picture limit. Will have to wait for thread to be approved before I update with more pics. Sorry. What is the picture limit?

Then I have some parts that I may take from my rb25det build on my s13 since its not running. I also have a full-race turbo manifold for RB engines but I want to keep this GTR on twins.

Love the Nismo collection you've got there.

Looks like lots planned.

Amazing!

Thank you. I have a lot more crap not pictured but I don't want to clutter this thread with random parts. Trying to keep it GTR specific.

Looks like a great project! Where are you located? I'm in Louisiana. My project spiraled out of control as well (check my build thread here).

Hopefully mine will be on the road soon!

Im from Missouri. But I'm a pipe welder. So I travel the country constantly. I'm sure being from Louisiana you are familiar with the welding lifestyle. Seems like there is a lot from down that way. I know quite a few in the Baton Rouge/New Orleans area.

thanks guys. Still would like a few nismo products that are proving tuff to find. Nismo radiator and oil cooler kit. If anyone has any leads, please let me know.

The goal of build is just to keep it pretty simple, but quality and totally streetable. I don't really want to open the engine up yet. I will probably try to make it as much nismo as possible. I'm waiting to get the car so I can see what kind of shape things are actually in. I'm sure it's pretty decent, but I will replace worn items etc before buying some performance piece not really needed. As far as power goes, I just plan on some -9 turbos for now and a safe tune on the stock internals. I'm thinking 450 hp max. It will mostly be a bolt on build. I guess I will be pushing the 2.6 as far as it will go. Then if the engine starts to show signs of fatigue, then I will look into rb28/30 or maybe just try and get a nismo crate motor. I will just have to wait and see when that time comes. I want to keep it as nismo as possible. But some items I just don't think nismo is the way to go. Its kind of just my personal taste/preference on things.

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
