The ever evolving R32 GTR build


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

So I bit the bullet and had the motor removed to do all the heater hoses along with anything else that popped up.

Plenty more nasty little surprises but at least its getting sorted and will help me sleep better now.

Here's some progress pics.....all new genuine Nissan hoses.

So motors all back in now and running well.

While it was out I had the plenum painted wrinkle black to match everything else once I get round to it.

Have just had some new Hankook Rs-3 tyres fitted and I'm off to get a wheel alignment this arvo and that should be it ready for this weekends hillclimb.

Nothing feels better than KNOWING that everything is right. All the little things are taken care of. Then you can have the spirited drives with out that little niggle at the back of your mind.

Just a note if you already haven't replaced them are the two plastic connectors on the firewall. One at the back of the plenum which just connects two water hoses and the other behind the cam cover for the heater hose junction. They are prone to fall apart from the inside and flick plastic pieces into your coolant system. Well worth replacing if you haven't already.

A few pics from the weekends hill climb (I believe it is the fastest speed hill climb in Australia)

I think I was the slowest in my class but I had a ball and managed to drive there and home so can't complain about that. (Unfortunately some weren't so lucky :()

Time for some more suspension work ready for the next one in August.

ye there's vids on youtube, search 'R32 GTR crash mt alma 2016'

Never like to see that happen obviously but this guy especially was a top bloke, was really cut up afterwards obviously.

Another GTR (32) and a few evo's had some pretty big offs too :-/

ye Glyn, I think it was a case of just too much speed, I chatted to him afterwards but didn't go into the details, doesn't look too fast but I believe he was somewhere around 170-180kph around there :-/
