GTR R32 Build

[oktaytrz]

UPDATE:

Dropped the gearbox 2 weeks ago and haven't had a chance to work on the car since. Hoping to put in some hours this weekend to take the box to a shop to get the input shaft bearing replaced.

UPDATE

We've found the issue with the car and we believe it is the ARP fly wheel bolts. Apparently the bolts are too long and the flywheel causes that tapping noise. Ordered OEM flywheel bolts from Nissan and I will be putting the box back on next week when I fly home from work. 

Whilst the gearbox and everything else was out, I thought I would freshen up the underbody. Here's a few pictures from the small restoration project from last week.

Depending on the flywheel you have used you may need to cut the fly wheel bolts down, it’s common on multi plate clutch flywheels

Yes that is exactly a friend of mine said. I just don't want to cut the bolt and take the risk of cutting it too much or not enough so I've ordered new oem bolts.

New OEM bolts are the same length as ARP, still gotta cut them down with thinner flywheels.

Might take it to a shop to cut it for me then😪

You measure stuff then cut. It isn't rocket science.

UPDATE

Flywheel bolt issue is now resolved.

I've attached both videos for reference purposes. It might help someone out. Very happy that the car is mechanically completed now. Next stage, paint! 

Saying that, I think I want to change the colour of my rocker covers, timing cover and the intake. Thinking of going Pearl yellow, any thoughts or recommendations?

Hey mate, was checking out your build this morning, looks awesome! finally tuned and everything very happy for you mate! 

Sucks I can't drive my car around yet as it needs to get painted now and I am waiting for my father inlaw to do his magic

I think its time for an update!

Here's a few pictures from the painting process.

Here's a picture after the 3 stage Cut and Polish.

Currently just finishing off the final touches off the car (assuming in 2 months it will be completely ready. 

Last weekend I've stripped the interior fully (excluding the dash) literally washed and cleaned everything up and replaced heaps of parts with new oem parts.

New pioneer 6.5' rear speakers. Also took the cluster out as someone decided to wrap the cluster facia in carbon fiber, looked disgusting. Replaced the cluster lights with LED White lights as well.

Whats next?

-Connecting the headlights (really struggling with this as the connectors does not match up);

-Side indicators (need to order new ones);

-Connecting fender indicator lights;

-Fit the front bumper;

-Fit the rear number plate lights;

-Drive the car for a bit and book the power tune.

Update:

Headlights are done, side indicators are done, fender indicator lights are wired in and done. 

I have to trim the N1 vents in order to fit the front bumper and it is hitting the intercooler. Keen to hear if someone else had this issue? 

 

Here's a video of the power tune.

The car made 517hp on 26psi E85 and 430hp on 98 at 18psi.  Roller dyno.
