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 :)

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
