Nelkel's R32 GTR Build

Hey Guys,

I thought I would put together a build/project thread here.

I imported my 1993 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR to South Africa in 2013 and have only recently started modifying it. I have been documenting my journey on my Youtube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/c/nelkelgtrvlogs

I will update this thread accordingly. As it stands the car has the following modifications.

Tein Super Street Coilovers

Cusco Swaybars

Nismo Camber arms

BuddyClub P1 Racers 17x9

HKS 63mm Intakes

HKS EVC 5 

76mm Downpipes

90mm Exhaust Kakimoto backbox

Battery Relocation

MINE VX Rom

 

Over the next few months I will be doing a clutch change, respray, big brake kit, GT2860-5 Turbos and supporting modifications. I will be filming all work on car and will be uploading to my channel weekly. I'm hoping that along the way I can make new friends and also help someone by providing informative DIY and How to guides.

Here's a short video I put together of my R32 GTR. Hope you enjoy.

Check out my other videos as I do JDM discussions and reviews. 

I'll be doing a silicone radiator kit installation in the next few days and will post it here as soon as I am complete.

Hey Nelkel,
I noticed you said you were going with Garrett 2860-5 turbos, I have just had mine put in, and was wondering if you got yours done yet and what sort of power you are making/plan to make with what supporting mods? Mine is due for a dyno run today actually and am eager to see how she does [emoji16]

Hey Ben! 

Unfortunately the GT2860's have been put on hold until end of Feb/March next year due to the fact that I couldn't resist importing the Mazda RX7 FD. Wrt to supporting mods..

1. Fuel Pump

2. Fuel pump rewire

3. Injectors (Need to research)

4. Mishimoto radiator

5. Alu Hard pipe kit (Intake side)

6. Haltech Plat ECU

7. HICAS Delete

I need to sit down and consider my supporting mods carefully but off the top of my head those would be the ones :)

I'm excited for you man, what boost are you intending to dyno on? What else is done to the car? Please make a video :)

Yeah those are very similar to my supporting mods, I have my own build thread, however off the top of my head
- 800cc Bosch injectors
- Walbro 450 fuel pump
- Greddy intercooler piping
- Apexi power FC and hand controller
To name a few of the supporting mods for the turbos, for all of them check out my thread!
And not too sure on power after tune, was hoping to get an answer out of you for a ballpark figure [emoji23]

Haha Sorry! Shouldn't have brought in the RX7 :D

At least when you are done I'll know what to expect :) Will check out your build thread am super interested!

Good luck for later, keep us all posted! P.S. Stock turbos with basic mods saw me 404hp at the flywheel

Here's the run below, dyno sheet at the end of the video :)

Hahah no way man enjoy both of the toys [emoji108] I will definitely keep everyone posted! Wow 300kw is definitely not bad on stock turbos I was hoping to make at least 300 with these turbos, may even be able to get closer to 320 looking at that :)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
