pretty much a non event

but i got a new drivers seat belt unit for the 32 gtr all up 180$ from Kudos motorsports

pretty easy to fit

old one stopped working properly and dropped out a few bits of plastic gear upon inspection

so i felt the change was needed

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?

yes its the same as twoogle... its a garage saurus lip, SPG sent me an e-mail saying they can get them in... so try there.

GTR looks great Luke :D

Glad you got it running Dave, didn't want you losing any more hair in the process ;)

My car goes into get the 1/4 window replaced next week then i will get stuck in to finish up the last few little bits prior to tuning

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm GATE :rofl:

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.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
