Not too much in the way of updates as I've been working remote a bit lately.

Have had the driveshaft's overhauled and had it back on the dyno chasing more midrange which was successful.

Now just trying to enjoy her for the moment, a few pics from the weekend taken by a mate.

Added another car to the stable...a Sil80.

Will use this for doing the things I'm now too soft to do in the GTR :blush:

Needs a bit of work but couldn't knock it back for the $$$ already has blacktop SR20, R32 GTR brakes (5 stud) etc...

5 - Removed my front Bilstiens as one had begun to leak and have sent them off to Quadrant suspensions in Victoria for a rebuild (significantly cheaper than anyone here in Adelaide :()

Just out of interest what is the model number of the Bilsteins and how long is the shock body?

Picked up some Enkei RPF01's in exact same sizes as my Rays Impul RSII's (18 x 9.5" +15 all round), bit of an impulse buy.

Love my other rims in the flesh but black on grey doesn't look the best in photos, Love the gold enkei's in photos but unsure about them in the flesh, mmmmmm.

Put my other rims up for sale but probably won't be too disappointed if they don't sell.

ive got the same in matte black - those are the best straight up fit for the r32

love the offsetting colors

what rubber you got on those?

They came with some plain almost brand new Achilles ATR sports but I'm trying to move them on and have ordered some Nankang NS-2R semi slicks, the reviews they get seem to be hard to go past for a weekend warrior which sees the odd hillclimb for <$150 a corner.

LOVE THE WHEELS MAN, SUCH A GOOD SIMPLE DESIGN WHICH FITS THE 32

    • Depending on the purpose of the car, and how much more fabbing you want to do, and what clearances you have, you could look to raise the motor, which will raise the front diff up. Likely would mean altering the chassis rails etc etc, hence the more fab work you'd need to do. However, this can create issues, not just in clearance with everything fitting under the bonnet, but you've also raised a LOT of weight up in the car, and this will DEFINITELY alter handling characteristics (But, so will how much weight you've already added to the front end). You'll also have to deal with the fact the gearbox to rear diff is now out of alignment too for the tail shaft, and alter the angle of the diff, or deal with a bit of potential vibration. Raising the motor an inch up, is effectively the same as making the whole car sit higher by not lowering it as far. So one inch higher motor, theoretically means you can drop the car an extra inch lower, and maintain the same angles in the CVs. Again, depends on the purpose of the car. If it's a just cruiser on the street car, maybe won't be an issue. If it's meant to be a time attack car, I can see you not wanting to raise the motor. This is just for you to ponder as an idea.
    • Have you not seen geospy.ai? It can now give GPS co ords to within a metre from a photo, even if it's a random photo you take inside. Supposedly at the moment only the government/law enforcement has access to that... Supposedly...
    • I've got the rear ones, they're certainly beefy. I need to take them to my driveshaft guru to check over, he's very fussy about the quality of components so I'll let you know if they are made of cheese by a blind man.   Are you in Australia? A mate just had a set of EN26 shafts made for his K20 Lotus by our fabricator which were quite cheap (compared to Driveshaft Shop) so if you can procure the CV's and draw what you need he'd make them for ~$800 for the pair.
    • Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.
    • OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.
