Project HNR32 4 Door Build! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Sileighty_85 · 06-24-2015, 08:56 AM

Another Project.....? Ok I think I have a problem.

Picked this up to use as a fun family car. I refuse to own a FWD POS car that I have no idea about so I figured id buy a car I know everything about.

This is a 1991 HNR32. Its AWD, Turbo, 5 Speed. Kind of a Unicorn, I have not seen many with the whole package.

The plan is once I get it back to the states Im gonna do a basic rebuild on the GT-R's old RB26 engine and slap in this car. Making it a Mini GT-R hahah.

So hopefully it all works out.

This thing needs a good bit of work though. Seems to have been neglected for a while, but not shabby for $2K.

Front Axles need rebuilt, Rack and pinion Boots are torn, carpet needs to be replaced, Tach is inop, all the lights need replacing...ect

I want to do a GT-R interior swap on it, so F&R seats and maybe the carpet if it'll fit.

Came with Tein Flex Coilovers for a GT-R, RB25 Turbo, HKS Front Mount, Nistune ECU W/ consult cable and software, GReddy MBC, some ugly 17X8 Wheels, Recaro Driver Seat, and a Fujitsubo Exhaust.

First Priority is getting it mechanically sound so I get it JCI'd and drive it.

Just got dropped off on Tuesday

Seems someone tried to run the Stock BOV Atmospheric, which wont work with Stockers. So had to fix that with some extra hose in the trunk. Really Surprised the car ran since the BOV vents at idle and the Recirc tube was not capped.

Chassis is in pretty good condish minus some kinda fuckery with the front right tow hook area. Not sure what happened here but damage seems minimal. I should be able to pick up that section from Nissan and have a shop fix it later. And a Dent is the Right rear Quarter panel. Probably just buy a new one from Nissan.

Upgrades and Down Grades lol Got alot of better quality spare parts lying around so gonna swap those out and try to sell the old ones to help make back some money from buying it.

While I was changing the wheels I did some preventive maintenance on thw inner wheel wells to protect against rust. While doing so I came across this.... a make shift harness guard... from a Mt Dew can with razor sharp edges...

There was a whole lot of Poor wiring going on under the dash. Dash wiring is a big peeve of mine, So i ripped all that shit out.

Dude had twist ties holding wiring up... and a shit ton of splices. Think I saw 2-3 splices on the Cig lighter LIGHT....thats like a 30g wire!

Turbo Timer ebrake sense wire....

Swapped out the Fujitsubo exhaust for the Apexi one off the GT-R

Gotta order more parts now :/

They are all in storage right now.

Next base hopefully will be in a area I like (Hopefully Florida) so I can buy a house and do what I want lol

future · 06-25-2015, 07:19 AM

Your going to need a 10 car garage lol

Sileighty_85 · 06-25-2015, 07:53 AM

No kidding, I almost contemplated on selling one of my cars.....but not sure I could do it.....

Got my hands on some GTR seats locally

IIIXziuR · 06-25-2015, 08:43 AM

I guess being that this already is an AWD spec, the RB26 should drop in without much hassle?

Yup should drop in and bolt up. Wiring will be different but I think i might just get a GTR Chassis harness and swap that in as well, If i can get my hands on it cheap.

future · 06-25-2015, 09:56 AM

Seats need a good cleaning!

Those things are filthy! haha.

Man, all that wiring makes me cringe. Soldering takes like 30 seconds, no excuse for sloppy wiring. At least its in good hands now. What are your plans for paint?

Sileighty_85 · 06-26-2015, 03:21 AM

Seats aren't as bad as the pic shows, the seats are like suede so the fibers direction and lighting makes it look really dirty.

but they will still get cleaned.

With these I wanna experiment and see if I can disassemble the top section and swap it with the passenger to make a like new seat.

Not sure on paint, but thinking either a light Silver or White.. really not sure though

Slowly collecting parts for the RB26 swap.

Picked up a Power steering reservoir from a GTR as the hot pipe cuts into the non GTR ones.

Also got a hard piping kit with another turbo hot pipe

and some R34 Turbos with R34 elbows.

once the car get JCI'd I can slap these on

dukiespice · 06-26-2015, 04:35 AM

Sweet! very excited to see this build

Sileighty_85 · 06-26-2015, 09:02 AM

Just bought a GT-R Carpet, Hopefully it fits, cant really find much on the subject other than hearsay. but seeing as how the chassis are the same length and width it should fit

Picked up the seats tonight as well.

Tried cleaning them a bit but the stains seem very stubborn. I was gonna swap the drivers seat for the one in the GTR but the color contrast would be really off so they both will go in the 4 Door and deal with it later

JIMB0 · 06-27-2015, 05:46 AM

Cool to see another 4 door R32 build!

awesome stuff

Sileighty_85 · 06-29-2015, 01:19 AM

So it seems the time has begun to where its sunny Monday-Friday and Rains on the Weekends.

So was able to get some work done before work.

First had to replace the torn shift boot since it was leaking everywhere and stinking up the cabin. Lucky Im a pack Rat and kept the GT-R's old shifter.

yey

Not a fan of that shift knob so installed the most awkward shift knob ever, The NAVAN

(The shift boot will replaced soon)

Since Im going for a GTR interior feel, I installed a spare Triple Din. Not hooked up right now but will when I install the 26

Need to get some GTR radio brackets since the Non GTR's has a different setup.

Got the seats installed as well. Didnt like how the stock seats felt. Made me feel like I sat high. So the GTR seats make it feel much more sporty.

Of course the carpet came in after installing the seats so now I get to rip them out again.

Also had a spare RB20 down pipe laying around and got that installed

as she sits right now.

Exciting shit I know....

Need to order the front axles boots so I can rebuild them.

AzS13hatch · 06-29-2015, 11:27 AM

Those seats cleaned up very well. Loving the car thus far

is the awd trans the same as the 26? I imagine it being a lot weaker than the gtr

cool build so far

Sileighty_85 · 06-29-2015, 04:59 PM

not sure about internal gear sizes but externally they are the same. Im thinking the main diff is gear ratios.

TWest · 06-30-2015, 02:38 AM

The RB25/26/Z32 all use the same gears, forks, bearings, synchros IIRC.. and pretty sure the RB20 and S13 or S14 share internals.. could be wrong but I'm almost certain that's what I remember.

You are correct in regards to the RB25/26/Z32 and the RB20, SR/KA trans Being this is a RB20 AWD tranny....Not sure.

So was only able to get the carpet swapped out today :/

But if anyone wants to know, a GTR carpet fits perfectly in a 4 Door AWD model.

Seems the carpets are pretty much the same dimensions with minor differences.

So carpet looked like shit, mainly on the driver side.

Got it all ripped out

to find out the gear oil was leaking into the interior from the torn boot. So that explains the smell. it soaked into the padding so its a good thing im replacing the carpet.

Out with the old

In with the new

Only thing I had to do was cut a new hole for the GTS4 seat belt mounting point
and trim the white edge "keepers"

Done

Looking good. New dash next?

Domo.

Depends, only about 20% of R32 dashes dont have the bubble and 50% dont have the dick veins in them. so to find a non fucked one is equivalent to finding a non cracked S13 dash....
