R32 refresh!!

[slithertooth]

Got this last week off sponsor-a-panda (john) off here, always liked my 32's and knowing this was a good clean base as another member also had it for a while stevokr32(sorry buddy it prob wont be recognisable when you get back:)) thought i'd try make a road car that i'v always wanted in a 32

So plan will be to-
up base power by sticking in a RB25
tighten up all suspension
Ditch Hicas
Fit s13 subframe
2 Way
Change the Kit and colour
Make it Wider :)
Find some manly wheels
This is what it looked like when i got it (kinda ;) ),

[slithertooth]

Progress been slow so far just got the engine out and the new engine out of the donor , came across a shagged engine mount so picked up a spare , while the engine is out gonna change the rack and power steering pipes to R33 ones so i can run the R33 power steering pump.

Going well so far man! Good stuff.

[pole drift]

Finish it :)

[slithertooth]

So the christmas has had this dragging out a bit but got bit done last couple of days, continued stripping off the hicas, removed the steering rack/pipes etc, also removed the hicas rear subframe to make way for the 180sx rear subframe. Nothing too bad found , had to make up a couple new brake pipes as they were rotten through, a bit of heat and the trusty hammer got the hicas ball joints out and then fitted a pair of poly bushes to replace them.
Replaced the steering rack and lines with a r33 one so i'll loose the speed sensitive steering(prefer the feel without it anyway)
Engine was straight forward to fit , just a few little bits needed swapping around, put the best clutch i had there into it, looked like a stage one or something similar but should be well capable for standard power out of the RB25. Used the RB20 box to make it a bit easier.

Right bit of an update , going one step forward and two steps backwards with this build, engine is coming back out and been put into a buddys S13, picked up a R33 last week so plan is to get some track time in it before using it as the donor to power the 32, which in the mean time may have a rb20 fitted back into it till i get suspension / stance / bodywork etc sorted out. Decided on a satin grey colour and looks like i'll be loosing the boot spoiler and keeping original front bumper and side skirts so on the look out for a different rear bumper.
So this is the new donor
Spec is still a little unknown
RB25det
FMIC
HKS intake
HKS blow off valve
Custom hard pipe intake
S/S downpipe/decat/catback
Blitz boost controller
Garrett turbo with braided lines ar.80 (can't see plate so someone may be able to help me figure out what it is)
HKS F-CON IS
APEXI Multi-checker

Tein super street dampers
Poly bushed front tension rods
Apexi front brace
Boot brace
Cusco hicas lock out bars
Soon to be welded 4.1 :)
Rotas and kit are sold need to give it a good service and then get a power run done on it , Hopefully i'll get some actual progress on the 32 soon

:p Bit of an update on this!!
It's come back home after being away for over a year
Don't know where to start but...... Thanks Tom,
Plan is to really just tweek a few bits under the bonnet and in the drivetrain to create a super reliable and low maintenance machine. Once that is complete I hope to work a bit on styling

[Tomas_s13]

think this r32 just belongs with you! you bought it, broke it, build it, broke it again, sold it to me, and now bought it again! sad to see it go but at least i know its in the good hands!

[slithertooth]

Not much to update,
Got 4.3 welder in to it.
Got a kit off Gem, origin front, vertex side/rear
Hopefully have Apexi dual N1 cat back welded and back to me for when the kit goes on
Stuck with the Works for the minute, just hope they suit the kit

[derek89]

Cheers dude,

fairly slow progress at the minute, hope to have matching rears on Wednesday. Looking out for a wing, not sure what type? nothing too scary under spats/skirts

[Tomas_s13]

[kenny046]

Yeah I did ;) ha, not sure what I 'm gonna do with it yet. Offered the Kit up to it for S&G's.

I'm really liking a different flat/matt colour for the complete car. The HULK S14 is inspiration to do something different.

Need to see the matching wheels to see if they will suit the kit and what colour to go for

[pole drift]

I don't think the front alloys suit the car

[Tomas_s13]

Shut up you! :cool:

[slithertooth]

Lack of available wheels out there? Either really shit sizes or are a grand or more. Don't want 18's on it

[slithertooth]

I don't think the front alloys suit the car

Euro lines and flat grey
Concaved and glossy red???

[grange]

dont know what it would look like on a 32 but iv had a matte dark blue or purple in my head for ages now. it would be different...

[kenny046]

matt is shite and cheap looking what did u do with the rear bumper?

[slithertooth]

Yup dude, very much thinking along that line.
Matte yella has passed by me too, but just wondering how it'd end up!

[pole drift]

Ya could get a job for the esb if ya painted it Matt yellow.

Satin black

Or I always liked them in blue

I've enough fecking jobs

Satin black - yes please!!! Will Hardy be driving on of those in the new Mad Max?

[slithertooth]

It's cheap looking cause it's cheap! Still have rear bumper, did you keep your 32?

[slithertooth]

Have decided to keep GTR alloys for the front, on the lookout for rears
18's for the rear up next,
Few service bits needed, box is whining a bit
Got an alloy wing so gonna see how it sits low mounted
