Rez's R32 GTS-t Type M... presentable version!


Recommended Posts

You going to go with the carbon doors?? Would look good, and then maybe some Bee-R carbon door trims?

That is looking mean as hell Rezz. Can't wait to see what she looks like all painted and polished up!

Thanks Dino :/ The R32 is even better though, 380hp at the wheels is on the cards...

Speaking of the R32, heres a flashback from mid-'05 back in Ashiya, Japan :D :

Heres the R32 as of this morning

It'll be tuned soon, we're hoping for between 0 and 380hp at the wheels, the turbo is well within it's limits, but we only want 1.0 bar... daily driver see.

And it isn't finished yet!!! That intake pipe will be cut down (why is it when you leave it to other people, they always add some wack bit of their own?) to about half the length, and the cosmetic side of things has yet to be finished. Yes, it's all shiny and whatever, but these cars are demo cars for TKO/K's Garage.

Justin/Trent: What are the specs on the engine mods done to the 32? I can see the Trust intake plenum, how about the turbo kit etc?

Cant wait to see the finished result

Nick

Heres a rundown of the parts so far (a few might change):

RB25DET

HKS T300 (like an oldskool GT3040) rebuilt '06 stylez

HKS stainless exhaust manifold

Trust 48mm wastegate with 1.0 bar spring

Full 3.5" straight through dump/front pipe

GReddy surge tank (aka intake mani :turned: )

Z32 airflow meter

Nismo 740cc injectors

Blitz BOV

A'pex Power FC with commander

HKS SPF Reloaded air filter

Nismo Coppermix single plate clutch

By the way, if anyone is interested in the Apex Power FC/Commander and Z32 air flow (both brand spanking new in box - no less), you can have the lot A$1,200 plus freight. We're gonna go for a D-Jetro setup instead.

Hey Rezz whats the go with the two cars at the moment any progress?

I post up pics of the Skyline all tuned up and on the street either tomorrow or Tuesday Glenn. The Silvia is still in the paint shop but I've been told I can come pick her up on the 15th.

I've just bought some new Racing Hart CP-S10 wheels in 18x9 +21 and 18x10 +19 (yes they will stick out of the bodywork... just what I want :D with 3.5 - 4.0 degrees neg camber) for the Silvia and should be here just in time to put them on as it rolls out of the paint shop. F*ck the Starcorp Impuls... :thumbsup: too heavy, and they stand out too much. I've had more than one shady character take a second look at them in the carpark at the local mall.

The R32 will get similar Wed's Sport wheels in 18x10 all round. My little bro keeps freaking *himself* out by thinking that he's gonna crash the Skyline without appropriate tyre width.

I must say it's awesome modding two cars at once. Theres always something happening and having the two ready in time for Autosalon Perth at our TKO/K's Garage stall will be the final goal.

When i use to own my R33 (RB25) I asked about the d-jetro version for the rb25 i got told they never made one, which would explain why I'd never seen one. How did you find one?

We didn't... I thought there may have been a few 'special D-Jetros' floating around for the RB25 but theres none. Just ended up running the Z32 air flow.

Anyway, the Skyline ended up running 277.7hp @ 9psi. This is on Hyperdrive's dyno which "reads lower than everyone else, we don't know why" according to them. It's good I think because we won't get any nasty suprises if we do a run somewhere else. The T300 (non BB) is far from it's sweet spot but it makes peak power at rev limit with a very linear power curve (well it isn't a curve, it's more like a 45 degree angle straight upwards). We were pretty disappointed because the Trust wastegate we bought was supposed to have a 1.0 bar spring in it... but we got this 9psi thing instead. So in a few weeks the car will be back on the dyno again getting tuned. Roughly we should get around 320 - 330hp.

Here are some pics of the Skyline:

Theres alot more stuff to come for this car.

how much were those front vented guards

and did much work needed to be done to them?

They were about $220 for the pair. No work had to be done to them, I fitted them myself (and my friend help with the drivers side one). I got them in Japan and fitted them there before the car was shipped over.

If by work you mean positioning and fiting, well there was none, just whacked em on first try.

See, thats the problem with cheap and nasty kits made and sold in Australia... they are substandard, it's like fiberglassing is in the dark ages still. My guards on my Silvia are the biggest pieces of shit I've ever laid my eyes on (from the so-called 'Best bodykit maker in Perth') and he still charged $550 for them. When I asked what he thought of the R32 aero guards he said 'well they're original Japanese guards and you probably paid a bomb for them..' No... I paid a bomb for your shitty ones.

I'll post up pcs of the Silvia tomorrow - she's all painted :P and I'll show you the guards up close... it's embarrassing. PM me if you want to know who the supplier was :D

My apologies good fellow :)

Ok first of all, the black bonnet and boot lid. We weren't going to paint them at all originally (just leave them white) but the guy doing the spray painting said it was no trouble spraying them black while he had the gun out for the mirrors, grille etc. I personally don't like black painted bonnets it kinda looks try hard carbon ya know? ;) lol.

Anyway, the paint color (Mitsu 380 monlten red) it awesome IMO, totally goes against all the kermit greens, yellows, pinks etc that you see every other S13 in. Also, in the sunlight the 380 Red has this wicked gold flake... a factory color btw. In the shade though it just looks like a wine red, it's really unassuming.

The 19 inch Starcorp Impuls got sold to a VERY enthusiastic bloke who introduced himself as 'Paul the Maori'. Paul had a BA XR6 Turbo, and the wheels looked the goods on it. I wanted to sell because the 19s were just too big on the Silvia, it watered down the performance a bit... probably because they were so heavy and the rolling diameter was out by quite a margin.

My brother wants to sell his white Starcorp Impuls to any Perth people who are interested? $2000 the lot with the mandatory 15mm spacers to clear the front calipers (on R32 GTS-t Type M, maybe R33 GTS25t aswell).

Next on the list is carbon bonnet and boot, Racing Hart CP-S10s and interior bits and LEDs galore... in good taste of course :domokun:

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
