    Default Backyard Speed Shop r32

    So I've had this for about 15 months now, and since its about to under go some big changes I though I may aswell throw a project thread up

    After I sold my S14 I went through a disastrous mx5 turbo, a big white forester sti, 2 ae111's and MANY other cars here and there till october 2013 when I picked up the r32

    Spec when I bought her was

    apexi cold air intake
    hdi boost controller
    walbro 355 fuel pump brand new
    fully rebuilt head new valves and seals
    large front mount intercooler
    new timing belt pulleys and tensioners
    new intake gasket and exhaust mani gaskets
    new high flow fuel filter
    new rocker cover and gaskets
    s/s full exhaust system

    interior
    omp deep dish steering wheel
    rare nismo 260km clocks
    sony head unit

    drivetrain
    nismo short shifter
    6 puck clutch
    4:1 shimmed diff with castrol lsd oil
    solid diff mounts
    driftworks hicas lockout system

    suspension
    hks rear coilovers
    tein super streets on front
    cusco fully adjustable camber arms

    exterior
    gtr nur spec front bumper
    gtr skirts and spats
    gtr rear spoiler
    gtr bonnet and grill
    18" xxr 521 10s on the rear and 9.5 on the back
    arches rolled and shulzed and cavity waxed









    First things first I ditched the deep dish wheel and out a momo out of an old mx5 I had.

    Then I got a set of r32 gtr seats and put them in . Massive improvement over standard seats imho.

    Daily drove the car and about June 2014, decided to start accumulating goodies

    Picked up this GReddy rhc6 turbo kit . it includes a manifold adaptor, external wastegate with screamer pipe, oil lines, and elbow as well as the turbo





    The turbo's made my IHI Japan, who make kits for apexi and oem turbos for Subaru etc. Couldnt find much info online about it besides an add on JDM distro's site . They say its good for 400-450:happy) :happy) bt

    To match the turbo i was going to build a forged rb25. I bought some HKS step 2 pistons off a seller on the Skyline owners club , but when they arrived they looked like this....:sick) :sick)

    Packed as so ..






    Got my money back after 1 month of arguing! What an idiot:wallbash)

    Picked up an oem nissan radio and an apexi multichecker



    Picked up some brembos off an evo vii with 330mm drilled disks for a song. Planning to sell the rears. Have ordered adaptors for my hubs of tfworks in the USA





    This is them fitted on an s14 in the states... I plan on painting mine black with oem sticker

    Got some braided brake lines from HEL ( not my photo )



    A braided clutch line




    Bought a big ass oil cooler with relocation kit and thermostatic sandwhich plate:nuts)



    Picked up a full Cusco cage aswell, Waiting on padding atm then painting it black to go with the look I want! No pictures atm though!

    Picked up an rb23 of A mate from his r32. It uses bp mx5 pistons and is over bored from 78mm to 83mm each cylinder :happy) :happy)

    Had to get 2 sets of rings as mx5s are 4 cyinder :wallbash) also got a set of acl rod bearings... thank god I work in a motor factors!

    [IMG][/IMG]

    Decided not to go with the rb23 now and will be buying an rb25neo from JDM Distro once my rb20 sells !

    Picked up a set of 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 Te37s . GENUINE , not rota !

    [IMG][/IMG]

    wheels will either be going black or dark matt bronze!

    Thats all the progress on the car atm!

    I have ALOT of stuff on route atm after blowing serious cash on parts since Chrsitmas... Ill post pics when they arrive bt

    Car will be going into the workshop in 3 weeks time to begin the transformation :happy) :happy)
