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

  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)

- 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

-Patrick

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..

-Patrick

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?

-Patrick

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
