Ollys R32

[eb35aa]

i got my r32 gtst about a year and half ago so a lot has been done to it so its quiet a large 1st post going through what it was like and what it is now witch is a forged rb25. when i got it was a stranded rb20det with a turbo back it had all the rust cut out and a gtr bumper modified to suit the gtst and had a full respray which was perfect at the time a untouched engine and a good body. it was fine for about 6 months until i went to the wakefield with mates and my turbo decided to blow. so here are some photos of when i got it and when my turbo blow up.

r32 bromance

greedy intercooler did a top job stoping it all from going into the engine

the exit hole from the explosion i was at around 7000 rpm when it went pop

so after i blew my turbo up i was planing on just replacing the turbo then i meet grub from imposible fabrication who ended up being a top fabricator and also a a fabricator who i could trust and didn't rip off and was full of great advice. so i ended up getting a high mount manifold made a new dump and modified intercooler piping all to suit the td0625g

slightly shorter piping that also didn't go over the hot side of the engine and in my eyes i thought looked a lot beta

so i had that set up for a while then the motor decided to blow in a tunnel when it was hitting gate hard

so the rb20 came out and i was going to drop in a rb25 and ended up forging the rb25 but while that was getting done i got board and made a vented bonnet,gtr wing,stereo install. and surge tank.

this is a stranded gtst bonnet cut folded and welded to make it like a gtr. im not a fabricator so i made it up as i went it turned out will i think'

this is the boot install i made it sounds nice and i can still fit the shopping

as a head unit i used a samsung tab 3 for some thing diffrent

im pretty happy with the out come i always believe you should try do it your self or you will never know what you can do

so i got all that done and while i was doing that i made a parts list and went and ordered all the stuff for the engine

os twin plate clutch

balanced and drilled crank

nitto oil pump

ross harmonic balancer

acl race bearings

nitto rods

cp pistons

arp head studs

tomei head gasket

super teck valve springs

tomei pon cams

hks timing gear

hks timing belt

hks fuel rail

sard fuel reg

turbonetics 7868 ceramic ball bearing

greedy look plenum (will be getting a real one soon)

head drain.

aem ems 2

aem cas disc

aem air temp

aem 3.5 bar map

aem wide band

there are some of the parts its not running yet it will soo the list goes on

the clutch got drilled and shaved for balancing

i was lucky to get to see the assembly of my motor

right not this is what it looks like in there

the most important part of any build is beer pizza and mates

thats just some of the stuff i have done to my skyline up until now there will be more to come

Howdy neighbour, good to see you've finally taken my suggestion and jumped on the forum!

Looking forward to future updates!

bloody hell well done on the bonnet!!! Im struggling to find a GTR bonnet for mine.

Might be an option!

[eb35aa]

yeah it is one way to do it if you cant find one

Its impressive mate.....

What exactly is the diff between a GTR and GTST bonnet? Just the Lip part? apart from ones steel and ones Ali

[Jordy32]

GTR bonnets are alloy as you mentioned which means they are considerably lighter, but that obviously comes at a cost.. And if you don't really care about that then it's fine

With the GTR Bonnet the latch is positioned differently to make space for the front grille but you can work around that

I've seen and compared my GTR bonnet to Olly's Modified GTST bonnet and you honestly can't tell the difference until you try and lift it.. fantastic value if you ask me.. haha

step by step in the fab section may be needed Yer im only looking at it for the looks.

As said about how the latch was modded to fit the grill etc.

Did you have a gtr bonnet sitting there as reference?

from what i know its just the lip i left around 35mm on the lip also dont do a straight line from edge to edge or it will look funny i followed the origanal curve of the gtst bonnet lip to give it shape and it looks good and im not running a n1 lip but if you run the n1 lip it will give you a good idear of that the lip shold look like and it also gives a good finish

Awesome thread. Well done!

yeah i will see what i can do in the way of a step by step fab thread when i get home. you only need to trim the latch handel because it hangs out of the grill but i will see what i can do i have more photos at home of making the bonnet im just over seas so when i get home i ill make a fab post

That would be great mate!

As it looks the part and its nothing i contemplated doing before. but after seeing that dont see why not.

Plus run a N1 lip and any imperfections would be hidden!

[eb35aa]

just a little up date got home from being over seas to come home to car parts
