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.

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
