Caliber's R32 GTR Project

[caliber676]

They came in rolls, straight lengths weren't long enough. If you roll them on the ground with a piece of plywood over it, they will get pretty much dead straight. Better than spending good coin on a tubing straightener for a few pipes.

I agree the hardlines look way better. I've built a few fuel systems but always with flexlines so I'm looking forward to working with hardlines. I'd really like to use all stainless hardlines but you're right, the cost is prohibitive. Did you buy your aluminum tubing in rolls or in straight lengths?

[caliber676]

Sorry, your correct. I meant to say flex lines. The hardlines are aluminum, I would have preferred stainless but the cost of equipment for bending and flaring would have been ridiculous. The hard lines are really not any cheaper after buying a good bender and flaring tool but I feel looks much cleaner and I suppose saves some weight vs stainless braided. I tried to avoid stainless braided at all costs as I hate the look so this was my replacement. Let me know if you need any help with your setup I'd be glad to help with what I can

picked up kevlar/nomex hardline instead of regular stainless.

The kevlar/nomex are the black soft lines right? Not covers over the hardline? Did you use stainless steel or aluminum for the hardlines? I'm going to be starting the fuel system on my own car soon and I really like the hardlines and your build in general!

Just received my new hks hipermax IV GT's, had them made with custom spring rates 8kg and 9kg. Hopefully the new hipermax line is a good one, the build quality looks top notch. Planning to put them in tomorrow.

updating a few things, fuel system almost done just have to get the finishing touches done on the flex lines, install them and then cover the base with carbon kevlar (hopefully that endeavor goes well)

so i got the hardlines all plumbed, except for in the engine bay, made some brackets to fit the feed and return lines as well as the brake line.


had a hell of a time bending the -10an (5/8) hardline for the pump. Flex lines would have been easier but i like the look of hardline more.



picked up kevlar/nomex hardline instead of regular stainless. All cut and ready to go in when after i cover the base. basically using flex line on anything going through the body and at the engine bay.


bought a set of the new HKS hipermaxIV GT coilovers, got custom ordered spring rates so they're getting made now. Also grabbed a r34 coil conversion kit from Rightdrive, hoping that they're less problematic than the r32 coils and will hold the suspected power.

They fit perfect. They're genuine cusco products. Exact same thing that's on every one of their cages

[FRRACER]

Are they that bad? poor fitment? The original ones are very very rare, been trying to get some for years.

[caliber676]

Got them from frsport.com

[S13Jordie]

so I picked up a set of cusco bar ends.

where did you pick them up? cusco directly?

[MattiasJacobs]

Got my Os Giken R3C clutch, looking good.

That clutch came out of my car! Lol

[caliber676]

They're fiberglass replicas. I'm gonna end of taking them off and either remolding them or scraping them for a diffuser or genuine ones

[FRRACER]

The side skirts are wet sanded and need a cut polish before going on, but I got some new parts in the mail.

3.2L surge tank for my upcoming fuel setup, some 1/0awg, 4awg kicker wire and a circuit breaker for the battery relocation, and lastly some dealer option rear mud guards from feast (upon test fitting it need some modification to fit)

Are these genuine nissan items or are they fibre glass copies?

[FRRACER]

Lovely project you got there mate I wish I could do the same to mine as in bodywork refresh.

The bride low max rails are $240 each, $50 shipping.
