Hey all,

Thought i had a build thread for my 32 but cant see it so maybe not, anyway.

Bought (becuase it was cheapppp) what can only be described as the worst looking r32 around. Ugly kit, check. Ugly white painted interior, check. $2 bucket seat, check. on LPG, yes LPG! check.

i wanted a project, so i bought it for cheap and brought it home

Since i killed the front bar, i found a GTR front bar and lip

Plus for now also got a standard r32 bonnet

Also removed everything to do with the LPG, thankfully it wasnt dedicated LPG. Just had to remove, fill a few holes here and there and bingo

a pair of excellent nic 32 gtr seats came up for cheap so replaced the crappy $2 recliners in it.

Plus started to remove anything painted white inside the car! and also changed the steering wheel to one i had lying around

The rb20 still runs fine, so removed to give it a bit of a tidy up and new gaskets etc etc. not looking for this car to be a power house, always wanted something that looks nice when you pop the hood. plus i already have my track car for speed.

So while the engine is out im tiding up the engine bay. removing all the HICAS, Putting the Battery in the boot, and hiding the fuse box. Will also change a couple things like the washer bottle, over flow etc. Will then fill holes, smooth and paint

I had a look at the Pandom kit for the 32 and didnt like it... so instead i did a thing.

I bought genuine rocket bunny flares front and back, same as the car below, from streeter.

Now not 100% sure ill go this way but they are sitting there

    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
