The ever evolving R32 GTR build


Recommended Posts

  • 1 month later...

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.

    • I would absolutely be starting with this idea over all other possibilities. It sounds f**ked.
    • Lighting in the shed looks real good! Not lying, have shed envy lol. Maybe one day I can fk off from Metro Sydney.
    • I would be cautious with those 2000/2200 CNG injectors, swap them out for a set of 1550 aka 1650 Bosch stainless ones before you take out a motor.
    • I tested them all a couple times, haven't tested it warm or wet though. The only seemingly really weird thing was the cylinders plug closest to the dash was pitch black nearly.  Doesn't smoke out of the exhaust or anything.    Also sorry everyone for the very late response. Got busy with work and all and didn't get around to fooling with the car for awhile.  But an update! I figured out the cause of the lean condition, my intercooler had at some point exploded or something. It's clearly separated in a spot with black oily buildup around the leak, and multiple leaks in various vacuum lines. I've replaced it and the vacuum lines, and gotten new clamps and there are 0 leaks now after doing a couple smoke tests.   The car now runs significantly better and the exhaust doesn't overheat anymore. I still have the main problem though where the engine feels like I'm lugging it around sub 3500rpm in any gear besides 1st, 2nd It's less noticeable but 3rd anything under 3.5k and I need to downshift or the engine is clearly struggling when trying to accelerate at all, 4th is the exact same, sub 3.5k engine won't accelerate and its hard to bring it back up to speed, 5th gear doesn't feel like the car is going to straight up fall apart now but it still can't pull 5th. It slowly loses speed and rpm and ANY gas I give I can feel the shakes from the engine and it slowly dying. If I ever so lightly give it gas it will slowly and nicely decel till around 2k rpm instead of lugging. But it cannot accelerate at all or maintain speed.   If I go from first gear at 5 or 6krpm and then shift to second it also feels like it's struggling to make power till above 3krpm if trying to accelerate but I can cruise around parking lots at around 1-2krpm just fine in 2nd. It's just when accelerating hard it and changing gear you really notice it die down.  But even if you shift at way lower rpms it does the same thing till somewhere above 3k.  As far as I'm aware it's got r32 gtr transmission gear ratios with gts4 diffs. The tire size is 205/55r16 91h Above 3500rpm the car pulls and runs and drives quite normally and the power from engine sounds and feels very smooth.  It's perfectly driveable at above 3.5krpm but I drive on the highway alot for work and it gets really bad gas mileage in 4th at 4.4krpm. Not that I'm looking for great gas mileage with such a car, just I'm sure being at around 3krpm would be significantly better for it.    Have appreciated all your guys help. I do understand the engine may just be f**ked from running with a boost leak though.    One final thing I'd like to add is I'm only shifting so high in the rpm range is because if I don't I will feel the engine lugging bad with 0 power in lower rpms, pretty much anytime off boost trying to accelerate it feels really bad.  Also when I say 3500 rpm I don't mean exactly. Just around there. 
    • So what did you end up doing ?  and is it still alive today ?
