I ordered up an Engine.
Decided to go with an RB25DE out of a low mileage Auto R33.
Hopefully should give some good drive-ability and fuel economy with some power potential in the future if I choose to turbo-charge it.
Always wanted an r32 gtst
I've always liked them.... I don't think you can beat the look of those Rear Lights at Night.Originally Posted by craiglancs
Someone sorted me out an RB20DET Gearbox for cheap, So should be able to run a stock R32 GTST Prop-shaft when I find one.
I had a look over the problem areas.
Including the Arches of Win.
A few bits of light rust where there's a bit of damage.
And the odd bit of damage here and there.
Someone wiped out the Front Tension Arm Mount.
And it looks like they've danced a jig on the roof at some point.
They're really cool. Only thing that puts me off is the rust issues. Hence why I switched back to Toyota and now have a Soarer.
I now have a double drive tho, so at some point may get a project under way
Nice to see that thing getting some attention Will,looks fairly battered. Hope all is well.
I imagine the UK ones are in a similar state to the S13's, this one looks pretty reasonable as it's an Import.They're really cool. Only thing that puts me off is the rust issues. Hence why I switched back to Toyota and now have a Soarer.

I've got a JZ Soarer, I've got some plans for it once I get rid of a few cars.
Hey Buddy
Yeah I thought it was about time, and I really need to shift some cars.
Not bad dude, Hope you're good.
I got the Interior stripped out to assess the condition of the floor.

Someone kindly donated a GTR Rear Bench, as I don't have any Seats.
Because of the Rear Wheel Steer, I weighed up a couple of different options.
Considered an S13 Subframe swap, or even adding the brackets to convert the 32 Subframe to 13.
But when mocked it up at my ride height, Had a few clearance issues.
Decided instead to make my own Hicas Delete.
Sourced some M16 Rose Joints in a Left and Right Hand Thread.
Machined up some spacers to accept the M12 Bolts.
Machined Left and Right Hand Threads onto some Hard 16mm Bar.
Still need to add an adjuster, But these will be used to set the Toe angle.
I also got the Slam Panel cut out and had a test fit of the Engine.
Or better still stop collecting cars! I'm good, really busy with work and on the hunt for a house so any playing with the 370z has gone out the window for a while.
Glad to hear it dude.
I'll probably sell this 32, and then get one of my 13's knocked out.
Sad times, Get a Flat !
R32's have always been a soft spot for me. If you do want to sell it in the future, im sure i could sell my golf to make way for this

I'll bare that in mind dude.
I have already promised a friend of mine he can have first refusal if I do.
I got the underside stripped down.
Also got the Front Suspension Components removed.
