I don't know shit about shit when it comes to forums. My name is Ronald I am from the half assed state of Illinois and I currently and likely forever own a TH1 R32 GTR that is undergoing surgery by myself in my garage. I am here to learn as much as I can and come across deals I don't need as often as I can! 

Full strip down of block, getting machined and forged. Stating twin because I appreciate the hidden turbo look that stock layout offers. Painting the engine bay rose gold also!

In the first pic . . why are all those guys looking at your Skyline ?  . . . . .ah America . . . I forgot Fast & Furious . . . . . 

Probably much the same reaction you would get here in Oz if you turned up to a car rally in a 78 Pontiac with a massive chook on the bonnet.  Cars are cars and the more diverse you get the more interesting the things are.  Guessing an R32 is an uncommon site in the US.

C'mon feel the Illinoise.

Hello Wisconsin!......wait, wrong state, um.....

Hey Kenosha!.....wait. Um. Still wrong. Um...

Gary. The most dangerous city in the mid west. Oh. hell. Still wrong.

Um? Is the wind off the lake cold at this time of year? (I was working on the steel plant on the other side of the state line in East Chicago a few years ago at this time of year and it was focking awful.

Here's some useful math for everyone:

How to convert US Horsepower into actual Horsepower (ATW).

(US HP Claim) x 0.80 = actual HP.

This also works for HSV's except it's (HSV owner claim) x 0.75 = actual HP.

Well I mean I can dig out my Dyno sheets.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
