I've owned my car for about a year. Its a mainly stock 1991 R32 GTST with is RB20DET heart.
When I first bought the car, It was rust ridden, Had a broken turbo, and leaked oil.
A year later I've gotten rid of the rust, I've swapped on an RB25 tubo. But it still leaks oil.
So I'm starting this tread to start documenting my progress from here on in. I have no idea where to got with the build.
To stay RB20? or go RB25? Repaint the car my self? or Just keep its rather rough appearance?
My ultimate goal is to create my definition of the ultimate street car. Something quick, handles great, comfy, and reliable.
What I have on the car thus far:
Engine:
RB25 Turbo
Front mount intercooler
Yellow Jackets coil packs
TurboSmart blow off valve
TurboSmart manual boost controller (set to 13 psi)
Wheels:
Blitz 01 wheels 17x8 with +38 and +35 on mismatched corners..
Federal 595 Tires
Suspension:
Top speed coil overs
Interior:
Momo steering wheel
Pro sport boost guage
Razo turbo timer (not working)
R33 GTR seats
Tomie shift knob
Razo pedals
Known issues:
Bumper is cracked and broken
Hood is very badly chipped
General paint quality on the car is very bad
Engine leaks oil from front main seal or oil pump gasket (TBD)
Steering wrack leaks fluid and its boots are ripped
Passenger side headlight is cracked with a hole in it.
Indicator light clips are broken
Interior trim is all cracked and broken
Steering seems shaky and twitchy when driving at high speed
No horn..... (This one to me for some reason annoys me the most)
Brakes fade very quickly
Passenger side window is stuck and won't roll up or down.
There is a substantial dent in the driver side door
I plan on fixing these issues as well as modifying the car to try and reach my goal of the ultimate street car. Enjoy the ride!
