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.

    • The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change
    • I was at Tunehouse in Marrickville (great team over there really know their VR's) , and I spotted this Very clean R35.  
    • Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down. 
    • The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
    • Plazmaman 76mm Pro Series, done. Data to back it up, I posted up somewhere here a few years back
