View Full Version : My R32 Gtst
Well after what felt like forever I have finally found a car!
It is a 1993 R32 Gtst skyline in silver. I only have the car since Sunday so I do not have any decent photos as of yet but I do have some which the seller gave me and also some I have taken on the iPhone.
I will be doing a few small bits to the car, mostly just tidying it etc.
I like to have a project thread so that everything is documented.
I am the 3rd owner of the car In Ireland and it has 149km's on the clock, the previous owner had the car for around 6 years and it spent most of the time inside of his garage.
The car has been treated to the following:
New clutch
New drilled & grooved front discs
New yellow stuff pads all round
Braided brake hoses
New trackrod ends
New front suspension top arms
New adjustable tie rod arms
Front & rear alloy strut braces
5zeigen stainless steel cat back exhaust
3'' De cat pipe
Blitz Induction kit
New large front mounted intercooler
R34 GTT Turbo
Turbo timer
Boost gauge
Boost controller (not fitted)
17" Panasport Jap wheels
Kyb gas shocks & lowering springs
The car has just been serviced with fully synthetic oil, millers high grade race oil in the gearbox & NGK iridium spark plugs
It has also been fitted with a brand new Water pump, new dayco teflon coated performance timing belt and new tensioner and idler bearings.
Some pictures of the car until I get a chance to clean it properly and get some proper ones

Thanks again for all the comments,
The car got treated at the weekend, Washed & dried, clayed, polished and then waxed. The interior also got a clean!
I like to take photos of my cars so sorry if there are too many! You don't have to look at them if you don't want to.....:ban:
The plans for the exterior are
GTR bonnet
GTR front bumper
GTR Grill
A change of wheels
Oh and I promise the GTR badge is coming off! (rrfl:

There was a rattling type noise coming from the rear of the car so I went investigating, I found a screwdriver, a spanner and a tape with what looks like a Japanese sticker on it inside in the rear quarter! JDM points for me :happy)

Just have to get a rail now so I can fit it!
Nice bits you picked up
Must say I never had one of those gear knobs, what you make of it
Haven't been able to try it out out just yet as I had to wait for the short shifter to come before I could fit it! Ill keep ya posted, it looks class anyway :D
You'll also need a gtr bonnet catch..
Unless you're just going to use pins.
Pa I know, going with the pins for now ;)
So my short shifter was waiting for me when I came home from work :D

No more being thrown around inside of the car ;)
So I went to a local tyre place today to get the valves replaced on the two front wheels, they just wouldn't keep air in them so I was suspect of the valves, turns out I was right. New valves in, Im not happy with the tyres that are on it but I'm looking for new wheels at the moment so no point in changing the tyres just yet!
I mentioned to the tyre fitter that I would be putting new wheels on it, he said I should get some Rotas, i replied with "would be difficult to get genuine ones though" :cool:
looks spotless, best of luck with her
So picked these up off Rob last week :D

Couldn't be happier with the wheels, the stickers even glow in the dark!
The tyres that came with the wheels were too big (235/45/17) and wouldn't fit under the arches, these are now for sale, pm if interested.
Got 215/45's fitted today with some stretch and the wheels fit :D
Only thing is they are rubbing in the rear so will need to roll the rear arches and I might look into getting adjustable camber arms as we'll.
I must say I love how they have transformed the car, apologies the car is dirty in the pics.....

Looks well dude. Wats the specs of the wheels?

Wheels are 17 x 9 +17 offset, I must say they fit very well.
I am on the look out for a GTR bumper and grill. Its very difficult to find a genuine bumper, all thats out there is fibreglass reps which I might have to settle for if I can't come across one.
There was another package waiting for me when I came home :D

I managed to find a full set of original R32 floor mats. :D
They are dirty and the passenger mat has an oil stain or something on it.
They are in very good condition overall though!
Ill be giving them a good clean before fitting them.

Looks great man new wheels look well but u need to drop the rear just dont look right !!

Easier said then done man! The car does not have coil overs fitted and I'm going to have to roll the arches just to get the wheels to fit!
I am going to look into getting camber arms once the arches are rolled which will tuck the wheels in a bit and should look much better ;)
This is lovely! nice work
fairplay keep the thread updated, wheels are very nice
No coilovers? Whats in it lowering springs? Dont mind me man i just have a horn for slamming everything to an undrivable height haha

It currently has KYB Gear climb shocks & springs. Haha its no bother man, this car is a bit of a daily so its low enough for me :cool:
very nice. white wheels look sweet against that silver :cool:
*Update*
I got the arches rolled on the rear so that sorted the rubbing issues i was facing on the back of the car, due to the car being a tad lower on the driver side than passenger side. (Not exactly sure why, has been the case with a few of my older cars as well. Iv heard this is due to a driver always being in the car and the parts get more wear.)
So anyway the tyre is catching on the front d/s, to combat this I picked up some aftermarket JIC Magic fixed camber arms, I believe these will pull the wheel in by -2 deg over the standard camber arms. I am hoping this will sort the rubbing issue on the front. If this does not work Ill have to go down the route of coil overs which is something that I don't really want to do.
Will be fitting them today hopefully so will let ye know how I get on! bt:)

Cheers man, they are 17 x 9 ET +15 I think, to be honest though I wouldnt recommend this size as I am having difficulty getting them to fit.
Anyways got round to fitting the camber arms this evening, driver side went straight on, passenger side took a bit more work as wouldn't line up for a bit.
When I got them on I noticed there was a bit more camber than I had expected :happy)
Took the car for a spin aaaaaaaaand it hasn't fix the issue :wallbash)
Well it kinda has in that its now no longer rubbing on the arch where it was before but the passenger side is now rubbing somewhere else. :wallbash)
I just can't seem to get these whees to fit my car :wallbash) :hmmm)
Looks like I'm either going to have to sell the wheels or get coilovers :hmmm)
Anyway as always some pics.....

Ill get some better photos up after the next clean bt:)
Hmmm what have I got to update you guys with? :hmmm)
So as you know I fitted the camber arms, the car now has crazy camber at the front which has made the tyres rub off the arches even more and I now need coilovers, can't sell the wheels because I like them to much!
The car went for its first NCT (Possibly since it came into the country in 2006). And to my surprise all it failed on was water inside in the rear lights and water in the front p/s indicator.
I couldn't be happier with the NCT results, just goes to show how well the car is looked after!
Managed to get a few snaps of the car in the centre even though its not allowed :ban:

I was going changing the front indicator anyway as the bracket holding it in place was broken and the indicator sequence was off. I got a replacement indicator & rear p/s reverse light off a member as my reverse light is a bit smashed. The indicator isn't in the best condition but will do to get me through the test!

I got the Indicator fitted anyway and the sequence has returned to normal and hopefully it will not retain water and pass the re-test.

Aaaaand I cleaned up the GTR bonnet that I had picked up last night, I wasn't going to fit it to the car until I had the bumper and grill to go with it but I couldn't resist, please note that the bonnet is a different silver and will be getting painted!
P.S. I think It looks best with no bonnet :happy)

Did you have the front plate in the window for the NCT or stick it to the bumper?

Sorry guys, been a while since I updated this.
Not much progress, I decided that the Bride was not comfortable for daily use so it was sold and I replaced it with one of the Recaros left over from my DC5.
I also removed the dildo knob and replaced it with a white Tegiwa knob.

I also picked up a GTR grill and front & rear adjustable camber arms!
The front ones I had bought we're not adjustable and there was too much of an angle, I got the new ones fitted and set the angle that I wanted. :D
The old arms are now for sale, send me a pm if interested.
My new Arms...

Looking well dude. Front looks alot better wit the new arms
Looking very good! seat looks very comfy!
Probably my favorite R32 in a long time, looks brilliant!
Looks amazing - fair play
Thanks for all the comments guys!
I got the car aligned the other day and its driving perfect now. It was a bit all over the place after changing the arms.
Today was an unfortunate day, I cleaned the car up this morning and was heading to the ultimate drift practice day in Watergrasshill when my alternator belt broke and in the process took out my coolant pipe, coolant went everywhere.
Was on the motorway too!
So I now need to buy new belts, a top coolant pipe and some coolant!

Wow she's a lovely looking car! Hopefully mine will be in that condition some day!!
Ok so i got the car back on the road straight away after the fan belt snapped, I fitted 3 new belts (of which I only needed 2 as no PS) and new coolant and some braided rad hoses I got from Darren.
My new belts!

Hey man, yup located in Cork. You might have, I do park the car sometimes :P
Thanks for the kind words, its only going to get nicer! :)
So after some searching I finally managed to source a genuine lip for the GTR bumper.

Its currently on the way to me from Japan and once it arrives the front of the car, bonnet, grill, bumper and wings will be getting painted.
Im currently debating whether to wrap the grill in carbon or else leave it the colour that it is and also add a rocket dancer lip like the one below.

My thinking was that it was going to protect the bumper because the car is so low and I didn't want my lovely new paint scraping off!
More than likely though this splitter is going to break on the first day! Agh well......tis worth a shot!
Car is now in the workshop and will be finished by the end of the week!
Cant wait!
Sooo, the car is back!!
One whole week without the Skyline, not sure how I made it through it!!
Have to say I'm over the moon with the work, looks epic!
Heres a teaser until I get some decent photos.

Say it looks savage dude. Would love a genuine front bumper and lip meself but will have to wait.

I waited 9 months! Finally happy with how the car looks now!
Here is a couple of more pics guys, the splitter is scuffed already!
Bonnet, bumper, wings and back boot lid and bumper painted.
Also note that the car is dirty in the pics so apologies!

All thats left to do now is.......
Change the p/s indicator as its shit
GTR Seats (Maybe others)
Roll cage
Rocket dancer carbon rear lip
Wrap the the front grill in carbon
Gauges
Oh and then maybe a 2JZ!
That looks so much better than before. A credit to the work you have put into it. Its made it a headturning car!

Looks cool for now though!

Good job man. Usually tein are brutal for going low. I could never get away with mine that low in Dublin.
Gorgeous r32 love reading the progress.

Thanks man! :)
The Nardi was an Ebay purchase (You can buy them new from driftworks though). The bolts were bought from the bay too, came all the way from the states! ;)
God this thing is gorgeous. Lovely tidy interior
Thanks man! :)

No problem always had a soft spot for the 32's, maybe someday :)
Oh so can you buy those deep dish corn type on driftworks?
Right lads & lassies....Its been a while since the last update.
A few things have happened since!
First off I bought some gauges as Iv wanted some for ages! There not Defi, only Prosport but they will do the job!
I got an oil/water temp & boost gauge.
I fitted them temporarily to see what they were like and to find out which colour to settle on, Im going with all white for now. :D

So the car had to go back to the panel beaters after only being painted a couple of months ago! And I needed to buy a new headlight and an indicator.
So I got onto Andrew as I knew he was breaking his 32, I got a set of headlights off him and an indicator and while I was at it I got a Nismo 2-way diff off him as well! :D
So Iv been Skylineless for 2 weeks and it has sucked! Cant wait to get back into it!
Ill be getting the car back tonight and iv asked my panel beater to paint my grill silver as well.
I fitted the new passenger headlight before taking her to the panel beaters.

I will be fitting the new 2 way asap, hopefully this weekend. We took off the back plate yesterday and sealed her up and put in some Fuchs fully synthetic 75w-90 oil.
Case off

Sucks about the crash man! I'm sure you'll have her mint again though. Interior is looking very sexy indeed need me some gauges!
Well that's a load of balls dude but hey she be rite in no time. Nice little goodie's as well .
Shame about the tip but could be worse man. Really digging the interior

youd never even know! Looks great!!
Wow that is an awesome job of fixing it up, amazing what a bit of t-cut can do haha.
Pity about the tip but she's looking smart again which is the main thing!
Jepers thats some turn around! Atleast it was only a relatively light tip.....could have been much worse! New gauges look well!
Looks perfect again, cant believe you got it fixed so quick
Thanks for all the kind words! :cool:
Always seeing this car at work! it is epic. Absolutely love it!

Old BORING diff out!

We discovered that my exhaust is blowing so I will be changing the exhaust soon!
Frank also adjusted my handbrake for me as it was way to slack! It now only requires a slight pull before locking up!
Im still waiting for my new Bride seat rail as there seems to be some delays with Irish Customs, so here is a random interior shot before the Bride goes in!

We went for a spin right after fitting the diff, I must say its a lot harsher than what I expected! Plenty of banging and clunking, It does lock up well though! ;) :)
Thats all for now folks! :D
Must be like a completely DIFFerent car now :)
Must be like a completely DIFFerent car now :)

Soooo my Bride base mount seat rail arrived from Japan, its in like new condition and even came with the original manual. :D Big Thanks to Andrew!! ;)
So I got to fitting it and here is the result, I will be getting the d/s wear repaired at some stage as well!

The car looked absolutely amazing in the flesh man. Fair play.

Cheers man!
So the car had to get some fresh rubber on the front due to them both being down to the metal thread on the inside, the joys of negative camber haha :sick)
So I got 2 x "Landsail" 215/40/17's which have a surprisinlgy good rating, B wet grip! Cant go wrong for only €55 quid :happy)
Also since installing the 2-way my rear tyres are obviously waring much faster so I had to put the adjustable camber arms back in to counter the rear camber.
After this the tracking was langers so a 4 wheel alignment was badly needed!
I will have to order two more tyres soon as I don't see the rears lasting too much longer :D
Some pics...

Oh and there is a possibility that I will be swapping out the Works for a set of Blitz Type 03's, a wheel I have always been a big fan of! :D
Just in case anyone doesn't know what they look like
