Sir_daniel's R32 gts-t show off :D - Drifting forum

sir_daniel · 30-10-2007, 15:17

Time for me to make a project thread here aswell

the car:
Nissan Skyline R32 gts-t 1993
3" exhaust
hks airfilter
Hks Coilovers
Hks boostcontroller
Blitz blow of valve
removed speedlimiter
17" advan wheels
bought it this summer from a fellow at Skyline.se (sweden's skyline forum) with low compression on 1 cylinder (6th).
found out after taking the cylinderhead of that the pistonring on the 6th cylinder was crap and had made too deep marks in the cylinder that i had to go to overdimention and redrill the cylinder.
wasn't to happy about that so i bought an engine with blown headgasket from skylineowners.com that had run for 60000 km.
got the package home and replaces the whole engine after i checked that the cylinderhead wasn't damaged by the headgasket problem.
pictures of the transplant
engine arrives

ARP headbults was fitted

1 of 2 mates that helped me (Magnus)

the owner...

we tried to mount the engine with the gearbox still in the car... didn't work

strutbar test fitted

sir_daniel · 30-10-2007, 15:17

but it would be too sad to have a standard R32...

so i bought some stuff that i during the winter will mount on the car...

the bodykit
picture without the R33 gtr look grill

picture with the R33 gtr look grill

i will paint the black center in the rims goldmetallic or buy Ultralite Hikari rims

will paint the car in white with gold "flakes" (not that 80's flakes but more metallic flaces) to make it shine in the sun

will also have the graphics in gold similar to this newer skyline

sir_daniel · 30-10-2007, 15:18

some of the stuff that i have bought:
complete gasket set for rb20det

gtr rearseat and panels

white siderepeaters

gtr 444cc injectors

front strutbar

bonus picture of the car with just the roof spoiler :P

nismo style hoodlip that will cover the front of the hood when i cut it to make it look like a gtr bonnet

sir_daniel · 30-10-2007, 15:19

Things i'm planning to buy

or in carbon fiber

unforenually so didn't put back the cooling fan before i took the car to my job to show it... so the car boiled and the headgasket was gone again

so now is there a Cometic 3 layer steel gasket laying in the garage just waiting to be used

initial_j · 30-10-2007, 15:20

looks good bud, personaly not feeling the roof spoiler though. but each to there own. and you need to get a new door! good effort though

sir_daniel · 30-10-2007, 15:23

already got a new door, the roof spoiler will most likely not be used.

aaronblue · 30-10-2007, 15:24

really like the kit mate what make is it?
is it staying white?

sir_daniel · 30-10-2007, 15:29

will be white with "gold effect"

Mr Bizzle · 30-10-2007, 15:34

Okey,
But what makes it a drift car?

sir_daniel · 30-10-2007, 15:50

the car will be used for track and drift use when it is finnished.

Dex · 30-10-2007, 17:15

ditch the hatch spoiler, and put on the roof/window one!

"unforenually so didn't put back the cooling fan before i took the car to my job to show it... so the car boiled and the headgasket was gone again"

thats just stupid lol

sir_daniel · 30-10-2007, 18:24

mmm now that... :P

but next time it is on the road it will have a cooling fan 8)

Phearson · 30-10-2007, 20:01

the car looks awesome, too bad about the cooling fan

Makes me sad though, using a R33body kit on a R32. Honestly the R32 is too good looking for the bodykit

Good luck!

Shane77 · 31-10-2007, 09:31

Great Car, makes me like the R32 more and more everyday !!!
Is that a R33 bodykit then? what's the make of the kit then?

love the roofspoiler, but needs a big wing on it's ass though....

keep up the good work!!

sir_daniel · 31-10-2007, 10:43

it is for a R32 gtr but the thing i have to change to make it fit is around the rear fenders hence the gtr are a bit wider there :P

but some glasfiber filler will do the job

it is JDL tuning that makes that kit

sir_daniel · 31-10-2007, 10:44

anyone knows where i can get rear fender wideners for my gts-t for a reasonable price?

John

sir_daniel · 31-10-2007, 12:28

know that d-max in japan has for reasonable price, but they won't answer my emails

sir_daniel · 31-10-2007, 14:08

started to lift the cylinderhead today... but got stopped when i should unscrew the headbults, my specialtool (2 sockets velded together) didn't take the Nm that was needed to get them loose...
the reason that i made my own socket is that not any of the shops that i visited when the cylinderhead was mounted last time had any inverted-hexagon socket that was needed to mount the cylinderhead with the ARP bults...

ordered some in right size that will come tomorrow morning.

sir_daniel · 31-10-2007, 17:58

testfitted the carbonfiber camcover and sparkplug cover (for RB26 but what the heck, is worth a try)
the cover for the sparkplugs didn't really fit :P
but the camcover fitted perfectly

the rest of the enginebay at the moment
