Hey guys,

Some of you are already familiar with the R32 GT-R I recently purchased through Prestige Motorsport. The car is now in the garage undergoing a fair bit of work!

There are pictures of my progess in the gallery.

Can anyone identify what intercooler that is?

As far as i can tell the worst of the damage is to the front RH rail (pic in gallery) which has a slight ripple in it, and looks to have been pushed back by about 10-20mm or so. The centre of the radiator support (at the bottom) is back by around 20-30mm.

This should be quite repairable by heating the rail and slowly pulling it back out into shape. I don't think a new support panel is required (thank god, i hate doing radiator support work)

The story given to me by the supplier (accident happened on a dirt road) is consistent with the damage, as it looks to be a wide frontal impact, rather than a point impact. The amount of japanese dirt in there is unbelievable.

The back seat is loose, and there are no seat belts in the back whatsoever..

I do not know how this car passed quarantine.

Let me know what you think,

-Patrick

== UPDATE ==

The list of things to do:

Todo:



Engine flush

Radiator flush



B  Engine Oil

B  Gearbox oil

B  Transfer Case Oil

B  Front Diff Oil

B  Rear Diff Oil

B  Coolant

B  Fuel Filter

B  Brake Fluid



Power Steering Fluid

Air Filters

Windscreen Wipers

Tyres

Alarm

Done:



Compression Test

- 1: 120

  2: 120

  3: 105

  4: 115

  5: 115

  6: 105



Spark Plugs

- Used NGK BCPR7ES

- Left at standard 1mm gap, will re-gap depending on tune



Brake Pads

- First inspection look ok

- Check rear pads for uneven wear

- Rear discs need replacement due to excessive wear



Turbo Inspection

- Some oil in intercooler piping (both in and out of compressor housing)

- Shaft play does not seem excessive, bearings appear to run smoothly

- Does anyone know how to check the turbos properly?

For anyone who is interested, here are the costs involved in this. If anyone is interested i will keep this up to date as i go along - note that there are a few estimates involved - I have tried to err on the expensive, rather than the cheap side (no doubt i have also left a couple of things out).

Congrats P.

seemed like 'twas only yesterday you said "I bought this car".

I'm glad it's on your lawn and it wasn't too much trouble with the quarantine (it might be possible it got fumed).

Good luck fixing it etc - keep us updated on your project. I hope all goes well.

Merry xmas to you too.

:)

i was told blowing black smoke, probably due to hole in intercooler - considering the hole in the cooler is massive i'm not surprised - this will cause a whacked AFM signal..

Can anyone tell me how to fix this gallery problem, i have another 20 pics i would love to add, especially some close ups of the chassis rail and radiator support

Would love to be able to see those pics.. if you email them to me webmaster AT easyautobits.com i'll host them for you or post them up if your having problems..

It should be road registerable without any trouble.

I'll send you those pics, someonestolecc was going to try to host them but something seems to be going wrong with his email..

Thanks,

-Patrick

I think i managed to get all of the photos working in the gallery now.. some of them have been duplicated though.

I actually got it running yesterday - taped up holes in intercooler and started it. Ran like a bucket of shit (as i expected) there are probably still lots of leaks in the air flow path, looked like it was running rich as buggery, and sounded like only 3 or 4 cylinders..

Going to do a compression test soon..

has the rail gone back into the bulkhead at all or is it just the tips of the rail?Would be nice to get it up on a bench just to check the underbody measurements eitheir way...or are you just gunna pull it on a flat rack?

ylwgtr2:

I have put one more photo in my gallery that is a low front on shot. The front subframe is untouched. I'm sure the lower support could be fixed, but if one is easily available it will be replaced.

I would like to check the underbody measurements properly, it's no use fixing it by half. As far as pulling it, we haven't decided exactly how to do that yet, either on a rack or with a porta-power or something similar.

Do you know of a good source for a lower radiator support?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
