Bored on a night shift so thought I may aswell put a thread up on my R32 Some of you may recognise it as Mr Worths old car, previously Superclarkeys, a guy called Jason's and maybe a few more peeps of here?? Fuck knows but I think it may have been around a bit!! I got it as I think it is one of the coolest R32's Ive ever seen, and I wanted something with better powers than my previous s14a (370ish) and it was cheaper to buy this and make it mine than build a car to the same spec I travelled all the way down to Devon to get it and have just driven it around a bit and had a laugh tbh. However that has shown up some problems that need sorting, mainly a fucked head stud and blowing exhaust gasket!! plus some bodgery thats owrking well but looks untidy!! so its getting treated to a general tidy up and new funky head Meisters have now gone and its rolling on the MB battles of my old s14a but can't post a pic as Photobucket is playing up Il update this when Ive got some shit done to it and taken some more pictures, and Im not working nights/got a new job anyone in cambs know of any decent jobs please let me know
Started stripping the engine down to sort it out...... Woop Woop!! relieved to see it has the HKS cams and pistons it was advertised as running!!
Picked up a new head form Darren at GDUK,cheers bud And whilst my friend was busy with the head doing this......... I got on cleaning and tidying stuff of the car to Also started de-griming the covers ready for paint
Package arrived form conceptua And since I wanted a fast road/weekend fun car I put the interior back in and got a r33 gtr front passenger seat
Also decided to have a test fit of these, they will do for now until I can afford a decent set of VS-XX
Plans to do are..... swap hks goodies over to the new head & rebuild it tidy up wiring nightmare in the engine bay get it mapped just to be safe, havent really given it death just in case!! Re-do rear arches respray in shiny black as Im not into the whole matt/rattle can look Enjoy the fuck out of it Any comments welcome, good or bad ha ha.
Yep, favourite car Ive driven Yeah man, matte look doesnt suit it imo, but I think it was just a temp measure to get it all one colour when martin had it!! Got most of the engine back together at the weekend so happy days, just need to sort the wiring and paint the cam covers, they are back on at the moment as my bro wasnt around to do it and Im impatient ha ha, Il whip them off once its all running tickety boo and give them a coat of something.
Ahhhh looking good man, wondered when a build thread would pop up! And yeah it was satin black when satin black was actually cool a few years ago lol. I'm so glad the spec is as advertised aswell, I never thought it would'nt be but you just don't know until you take it apart. I miss having a short diff and loads of power
Thanks dude, it will be running sweet and looking PIMP within a couple of months hopefully and Im looking forward to it having plenty of power too!! should have the engine ready for mapping/check over by the weekend, in fact I may just do that and spray the boot once Ive removed the white sealant stuff, and enjoy smoking round in it for the rest of the summer now the sun has come out to play then respray stuff over winter. We'll see!
do you know what diff is in it? been thinking about changing mine to a shorter one looks like a nice build for some fun, i miss my 32
I no idea of the ratio im afraid, but it did max out at 165mph sat nav speed, got there fast too lol. Just get the shortest one possible would be my advice.
Hmmm I was just looking at R32's and then I see this thread!! How are you fella? Cars looking well, have no doubts it'll be awesome!
Long time no speak dude, hows tricks? pop over and see the car if you fancy Its going for mapping in a couple of weeks and Im just gonna wait to paint it when the weather is too shite to be driving it Il throw some pics up when I get the chance of how she stands now when I get the chance tommorow. Your missu still got the s14a?? I still got some bits kicking around if she needs anything!! txt me anyways bud.J
Not bad mate ta! Yourself? Na some drunk crashed into it and wrote it off dude! She's still gutted now! I will do bud definately, im getting the project itch again now the ek9 is pretty much done! You still on 481 at the end dude?
Pow! engine back together and ready for mapping Had to get it out the unit as my friend had another car that needed the space mine was in,his r32! and since Im in the middle of pimping my garage I had to find somewhere to put it so stuck it down the farm Shite pics Im afraid but shows how it sits with the new wheels Few more bits to do and then should be ready to get to some drift days and start to use it rather than lay under it or look at it ha ha!
