had the prelude for about 1month after moving to BC got bored with it pretty fast.





this winter i decided to do a complete rebuild. car was smoking like a mother and will be nice knowing the engine internals

OEM gasket repair kit, N1 oil pump, OEM water pump

before anything goes back in it will get cleaned/painted. first up; intake manifold, throttle body etc.


full a/c delete


first time ever pulling a motor, have to say MUCH easier then i expected.


This is where i stand now, engine ready to be stripped down

Nice to see pat's old car alive and well. Hope the build goes nice, keep us updated.

Damn you got a lot of great goodies!! I wish I could put a Bee*R rev builder on my GTR but I'm Scared of oil pump failure. Or does that only happen when the Rpm's are 8Grand or over? Why did you choose to relocate the fuse box there? Dont you need to remove the bumper every time? I know its easy to take off and replace but it could get annoying.

Great looking R32! I cant wait for more!

I pulled my engine the same way, with manifolds off already. Lots of guys pull the whole thing with intake and turbo still attached but i think this is the best way for a first timer. It gave me a lot more space to comfortably remove it and not damage anything.
Just dont make my mistake and decide to buy all new internals AFTER pulling the engine but before you have the cash lol

[amnash]

lol, nice. no i have everything all ready to go, just need bearings and ill get those fitted when i get the crank balanced

[nelsonmxmarc]

Going to look real snazzy inside

Nice car man!

Fusebox may be an issue with water though!

Cool, you picked up Pat's old GTS.


Good to see someone willing to go to lengths with doing things right.


Good luck and keep us updated.

spent all day today removing parts and brackets from the engine bay. give it a good clean removing 20 years of gunk and muck.


and when i removed the master cylinder i discoverd something not so pleasant... lol
this leads back to a brake problem i had before. brakes were sh*t, calipers they were seized, replaced +rotors. helped a LITTLE bit but they still sucked.
has anyone seen this before?

[Supraclean]

Looks like its was leaking from the rear.. You were poSsibly geting air into the system.

[nelsonmxmarc]

Give that a good sand and see if that's rotten through, but you should be okay. Replace that MC and you should be good to go!

I have one, actually Lemme know if you need a replacement.
