Hi there guys been quite a while that I have been meaning to join sau, 4 years ago I bought my first r32 which doubled as a track car and a daily wasn't the smartest idea so after a year or so I had to let her go a pristine r32 gtst type m with all the goodies and only 65k on the clock, was a heartbreaking decision, year after year of dwelling I bought another r32 about 6 months ago as a project in quite bad condition, she had been turbo but someone and no one knows why removed the turbo setup on the car and had it running its standard 6 not a very smart move on the way home driving it I heard some whining, then kaboom!!! I thought a rod had popped out the motor as I went to go inspect I had realised the water pump had seized up exploded and blew the fan right through my radiator I thought what a great start.

 

The next day I got onto a tear down of the bay ripping off everything I'm not gonna need I.e non turbo extractors air con and so on

 

I then went ahead to buy a gt3582, and pwr fmic with 3.5 inch piping to suit, koyo radiator, thermo fans and all new hoses.

All done and dusted i decided to start the car but unfortunately she didn't run was running a rb20 non turbo ecu I picked up a piggy back farina racers ecu for quite cheap started it and she was a beaut took it for a spin and she went well but all into consideration the ride was terrible.

 

Had a look under the car and found that all the bushing and ball joints were done to a crisp so I replaced everything while at the same time got my diff completely locked.

 

In the meantime while my diff was being locked i noticed a small fuel leak from injector 1 and i wasn't going to just replace one so i ended up with some rx7 injectors and yellow jacket coil packs to get abit more spark.

 

At this point I knew with the work being done I'm going to need some new suspension I had a search and found he most reliable source was tein in which I replaced my suspension with tein super street coilovers rear cambers front camber arms offset rack spacer and garage 32 drop knuckles and extended lca's.

 

Now the car is a whole different drive and a completely whole different feeling she's now ready for the track and awaiting her first drift day/ track day I'm still not finished with this big build i do have a long way to go, and I'm sure the headaches/mods will not stop i hope you guys enjoy this thread as my first and plenty more to come

Cheers SAU!

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
