Got this car from trading my Procharged 350z for even trade and have been working on getting it cleaned up and how i want ever since. Figured i would start a build thread finally. When i got the car the mods were as followed:

R32 Skyline Gtr 96k KM
4" Front mount intercooler
HKS SSQ BOV Black edition
Apexi intake kit
Apexi silent power exhaust
Mines Tune Ecu
Unknown clutch
Rotora front big brake kit
Cusco Front Aluminum strut tower brace
Cusco Rear Carbon Fiber strut tower breace
MOMO steering wheel
K-Sport coilovers
Grounding kit
HKS Type-01 Turbo timer
Gauge cluster 300km

First night i got the car, after it had been sitting outside for the past four years....

First thing i did to the car was just cleaned the car up since i couldnt be driving around like that....

Then i found an awesome deal on a Power Fc with the hand held that i couldnt pass up.

Also about the same time i bought this i found these Work VS-XX 17x9 +10 offset that were pretty beat up but guy only sold for 900 with tires!! After i got these i tore them down and to 3 pieces and started sanding to get the ready for powder coat.

Took them to get powder coated by a friend..

Wanted to put extended lug studs in since i was going to have to put a 8mm spacer just to be on the safe side to clear the brakes

Bought some 255/40/17 tires and mounted them on the wheels, and since i did that also put a 5mm in the rear.

Next i decided to move onto the engine get that cleaned up a little more and trying to get it running a little better...
First thing i bought for it were the Yellow jacket coil packs, which made a huge difference on this car.
http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee500/slammedvert/56779F86-D7ED-40D8-82EA-3437C58D74E6-29546-00001538C46A77D8.jpg

Decided to also take my valve covers off and take them back to the same guy who did my wheels and get them powder coated.
http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee500/slammedvert/A6965C4D-D544-485E-836A-09F74D38C4C0-29546-00001538E24A53AF.jpg

Came out a little darker than i hoped, Candy Apple Red. However it looked great when i put it back on the car. Also got the strut tower braces done to match it.

Next i wanted to do polish the twin turbo pipe and the apexi intakes.

I wanted to get rid of the stock triple gauges in the car since they werent the most accurate of gauges and have a friend who gets great deals through Prosport gauges. I decided to order a boost gauge and wideband. Also at the same time my friend had an electronic Greddy boost controller that i couldnt pass the deal up since my manual one got stuck and would not let me adjust at all.

After I got all this installed back in the car took it to the local shop Atlantic Motorsports (AMS) to get it tuned. I trusted these guys since the owner also has a skyline (R33 Gtr). Was pretty surprised what my car dynoed at, I made 380awhp and 300lbs tq on 15psi.

Now that i have how i got my car to where it is now ill start with my current project with it.....
I decided recently to convert to single turbo to try and make my goal of 500-550 awhp without opening the engine up. I was going to go big twins Gt2860-5's but the person i was ordering through said they were out and always kinda wanted to go single anyway and im happy with my choice now.
First i decided to order a percision 6262 T4 with V-Band exhaust housing, 46mm Percision wastegate, and Deatchwerks 800cc injectors
http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee500/slammedvert/E65FB9CA-449E-4EF3-B9A7-2B00EF36C6B5-23328-000010D439555DF4.jpg

Then came the fun part removing the turbos, and i chose the not so bright idea of removing while the engine was still in the car.
http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee500/slammedvert/C681C1DC-DBE8-4467-BE1C-BE698389EFB2-23328-000010D1D59C71DD.jpg

After a lot of blood shed and 8 hours later i got both turbos out.
http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee500/slammedvert/FF26A5E8-4058-4DA4-8614-844BE7F82B1F-23328-000010D1BEC853A9.jpg

Turbos were still in really good shape.....

http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee500/slammedvert/FF26A5E8-4058-4DA4-8614-844BE7F82B1F-23328-000010D1BEC853A9.jpg

As of now i am just waiting on a couple more things before i can put the turbo back on the car, one of my friends who does fabrication on the side is making my manifold right now should have this done in about two weeks will be sitting similar to a Full Race manifold, after he is done making mine he will start to sell for a very reasonable price. Also he will be making my downpipe, dual intake, and extending my intercooler piping. Cant wait to have this thing running again for spring... have some other parts on the way and will be posting up more as i receive the parts and put them on.

Last weekend i got to relocate the battery to the trunk but when removing everything it is pretty rusted behind where the battery sat. I plan on removing the engine this fall to cut out any rust and weld new metal in and shave the engine bay the best i can.
http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee500/slammedvert/8B6CE513-83ED-4FD4-A38F-E38D10C92098-7168-000006AB01928F02.jpg

Next i finally was able to plug the rest of the coolant lines and remove unneccary lines, also decided to remove my grounding kit that was installed by the previous owner since the battery will be in the trunk now.

http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee500/slammedvert/A12FC0BC-3809-4D12-AA0A-8E779B642FB2-7168-000006AAF191510F.jpg

So we decided to move the placement of the turbo to dead center of the engine between the strut tower and engine really tight fit though. But here is the just a picture of how it was mocked up on the car today just to see if everything fit and its looking good. The guy building the manifold is hoping to have it done for the most part next week...

Little more progress on the manifold.

Now that my thread is caught up to where I am today can start making current posts. Went to go get tuned after I converted to AEM V2 from the PFC L-Jetro (which is for sale). Decided to go to J-K Tuning in Carisle, PA with John Kerr who is the designer of Nismotronic. Recommend him to anyone who needs a tune done.
This is how the current setup looks without the dual intake setup.

Decided to pick up a spare block few months ago from a friend to build but now going to sell it and keep searching for a Rb30 instead.

On the forum I found these wheels a few weeks ago that I had to have also so they are on their way from Japan :)

Decided to recently to try and start cleaning up my interior so I moved my boost controller to my glove box from my center console. Like it a lot more being hidden as its not messed with too much.

Decided to buy the newish AEM Failsafe gauge which I love and would recommend to people. I saw a few people on the GTR forums that mounted their gauge over by the driver’s door in the air vent which I really liked so I tried it out and I like it but sometimes its difficult to read so might move it however I really don’t need to look at it since it is hooked up to the ECU to cut boost if running lean.

I am looking for a Windows OS tablet to put in my center console and run my AEM to it and have the gauges running on the tablet. Looking for one that will fit correctly though which is being difficult. I saw my buddy which is on this forum somewhere most likely in his 240 and really liked it.

Major props to you for doing work with the engine still installed. No one really talks about the 9000 level skill and patience required to work on RBs in tight spaces. Skin gets removed in large shreds, blood pours freely, and the uncomfortable position required to lean over the fenders will leave your knees and back burning like they got blasted by a shotgun.
Love the tablet idea. I've been looking for one compatible with my NIStune setup. Unfortunately, most moderately priced tablets are running a specific Tablet-only version of windows which will not work on NIStune.
Car looks terrific! Keep it up!

Thanks man, i know my buddy has the Nexus 7 in his 240.
I want to try someones tablet out first make sure i can download the software to the tablet and run the AEM its hard to find anything online of people do it. I have seen one person using a Ipad running a special app to run the AEM to it but ill get to it eventually.

awesome pickup. did you really need to relocate the battery to the trunk? how many cc's are those injectors I have d-werks 650cc's. do you like the aem setup?? I have one for my 1jz-sc400 and I don't have time to eff with it. for me at least the nistune on my 13 is more user friendly. did your aem come with a preloaded base map that you drove to the dyno on??

how many psi are you running and what's stopping you from doing 500whp?

the manifold looks great they could had notched it closer to the engine about an inch-2 more tho..

zclopper32
08-29-2014, 06:52 AM
The only reason i did relocate it was to fit the catch can where the batter was located that is where most r32 people put their catch can. However when i pull my engine and repaint the engine i would like to possibly put the catch can back where the ABS is now.
I have D-werks 800cc going to switch to Injector Dynamics in the spring though i think 1000cc and maybe go E85 not sure yet.
AEM V2 is so much smoother than what the PFC was on drivability which i like a lot of course. The issue was did not come with a basemap but you can download some online.
Im running 21 psi on the 6262 and if i were on a dynojet i would probably be making 525-550hp the dyno i was on reads real low so i didnt want to any higher since my 26 has never even been opened its fully stock only pulled valve covers off to powder coat them.

Yeah i wish could have got it a little closer and also angled the flange like full race and others would have helped to fit a bigger turbo easier but for now it works.

Just to clarify,

You got it tuned up, Apexi intakes, EBC, added the yellow jackets and the PFC and ran at 380AWHP?

Awesome.

Now I really want one.

zclopper32
08-29-2014, 10:45 AM
Yes got tuned made 380 awhp took it to the local track ran a 12.7 with that setup and that was babying it off the line so didn't break anything and every time i shifted to 4th my HICAS would kick on so had to let off the throttle as the rear got out from under me. so probably could have ran a mid to low 12 if i had launched and not had the rear end issue.

Got the wheels repowdercoated and took the lips to Alloy Wheel Repair to get refinished and polished.

Decided to get gold bolts instead of reusing the original bolts (kept them though)

Nitto NT555 installed on the wheels

And finally the finished wheels on the car.

New brakes came in the mail too. Bought Z32 Stoptech Rotors and Brake pads from Summit Racing.

Also finally bought harnesses and harness bar. The harness bar was for S13 fit perfect in the R32 no modifying needed. The harness bar also bolts to the floor.

Bought simpson harnesses, this was before I adjusted the length to make them even on each side.

Was just thinking this. Car has to be illegally imported if he got it in 2011. Would suck to dump a lot of work into something the government decides they can take one day.

I agree with them^ yeah it may have a title etc,but that doesn't mean its legal. Unless you have correct paperwork its more then likely here illegally,either way im not here to shit on your thread,i was actually curious on the yellow jackets.

specs on LMGT1's?

I suppose these are 18x10 +15 (Nismo 400R spec?)

what are the tire sizes? and where did you get the bolts from? do you remember the torque specs for assembly? (i'm in the middle of rebuilding my LMGT1's)

Looks great man! keep it up!

Who cares? It's a build thread, not another "discuss the legality of a skyline" thread. Not sure why people feel the need to throw in their .02 in every grey import thread, not your car, not your problem. Pretty sure the dude knows the position he's in.

Yeah I know it's not my car,he might not be aware of the 25 year law. I rather put in my ".2" and let someone know if it's legal or not compared to him dumping money into it only to get seized and crushed.

Again, who cares about legality, it's a build thread. If you own any BNR chassis you know about the 25 year rule, MotoRex, Kaizo and the deal with state titled cars. People who have the cash to buy them and then build them don't live under rocks.

Believe it or not a lot of people still do not understand the law. Most people think that since the R32 is now legal under the 25 year law that cars that were imported before the 25 year law are suddenly exempt, when that is far from the fact.

Exactly. I sure as hell would not be posting that shit on the internet. I mean people don't realize that the government just takes it. They don't give you your money back. They don't care about the false state title. They don't care about the 20g in receipts you have. They don't care that you were scammed. They take it and you are at a loss.

This is very true. Once you actually own one, you find out how much more true this really is. You hear a lot of bullshit lol. It's really funny. The picard emoji here is an understatement.

The only way to fix it, is to deport it and import it the right way, once it is at it's legal date. If you have the means to do so.

But as stated, not my problem, no care. I don't wish it upon anyone who has a false car as I think the rules are stupid.
