Right...

Last night picked up car after having the HKS GT-RS installed. Damn thing whines like a whore off boost lol

550cc Nismo's, Z32, Splitfire coil packs and new plugs going in on the weekend. :P

Then just waiting on a tune and I'll get the HICAS lockbar put in.

You should buy my split dump for the Stag Todd, you know you want to! :)

Got the R32 running today :cheers: After i bought it 3 months ago with a blown head gasket its been nothing short of a headache, but today I got it fired up - and I couldn't be happier! now I just need to register it + wheel alignment and she will be ready to go

Quick run down;

R32 GTS4

Freshened up engine, new gaskets etc...

RB25 turbo, split dump and R34 intercooler

Standard airbox with opened up intake

Not much, but it all looks completely stock - just the way I like it

engine should be dropped out of my car tomorrow. the bolts came of the rear turbo dump pipe, locktite and locking nuts ovisly couldn't handle the power :D (crash landing in a padick probaby didn't help it). Also will fix some kinked p/s lines, oil and coolent leaks, and subframe bushes.

updates (from about a month ago)

New engine is in and the big garrett single turbo setup and all the gear, now starting to get the exterior the way i want it...

is that an after market front lip? it looks the same as the twoogle one off HPI. where dod you get it if you dont mind me asking?

Our Stagea blew a head gasket over cristmas holidays. Took a couple of days to get head off. I match port head, manifolds and dump pipe (CES 3"). Took head to machine shop and it only needed a touchup on exhausts and a plane. They took out sharp edges in ports under seats. Just waiting on vrs, head bolts and 100k service kit (timing belt etc) to turn up. I put Whiteline sway bars front & back and Apexi height and damper shocks in front last weekend. Adjustable ex. timing turned up yesterday (Az StrYder). I have a new 1" core rad. to go in. The rad. taken out is OK for a spare or cheap replacement. The car already has a full 3" exhaust. We bought a set of 18" mags a week before h/g went. Hanging to get it back together and get it tuned with Apexi AVCR assisted by Apexi 'Multi Checker'.

Got mine to the turn key point. started fine and was idling/reving well. after shutting it down to check for leaks i restarted it and if you rev it there are no misses but when it drops back to idle it stalls. any ideas?

Check for leaks (air) and correct plumbing. May have been runing in cold start then once warmed will change air paths through idle valve (if still fitted). Vacum leaks or hose on wrong may then affect idle stability.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
