r32 gtst slow burn build


Recommended Posts

The story goes, bought a project car.... 16 years ago now.

Its been stripped and placed in the back of the shed for to long.

I bought it in 2006, the plan was to tidy it up and use it as a daily, keep my 33 gtr for the weekend.

The last owner made it a sex spec 90s autosalon car. Vertex kit, white interior and strangely run on dedicated gas....

Its a factory manual turbo and bought for $2000....

Just recently ive bought full front end rubber kit, having the steering rack reconditioned, adjustable arms, new BC coils, and r33 gtst brakes n rotors.

At this stage im unsure what to do engine wise. i have a spare 20, 25 and 30.

25 makes the most sense but id love to open the bonnet and see the little 20 in there.

Hah, looking forward to see where you go with this.

Do you have more photos of the Stinger? It looks good, very much not the stock body kit?! They have always been meant to be a decent GT car. Once one stops judging it for being a Kia.

Also, how are you finding the R1 experience compared to the Skylines? They are meant to be nuts. Widowmakers.

I love the r1. Yes it's a beast but it's so smooth and beautiful to ride.

 

I've been super impressed with the stinger. Has everything in it and goes well. Few mods has woken it upⁿ

    • Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it. 
    • So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up. 
    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.
