Jamies' BNR32

[Rapier46]

Oh, hello. Didn't see u there.

This is the thread for my GTR. I do all the work myself. Except the tunic. Because I haven't done that yet. I live just outside Calgary AB. My only gtr friend has moved away.


But there's a million people in Calgary, I may be able to find another gtr friend.

So my gtr started out as any other. Then came to Canada and destroyed an engine because AutoDream sucks at tuning. Then it got bought by some dipshit dumbshits in coalhurst AB(4xToys, they are retarded when it comes to gtr's, who knows what else). They put in a new engine. This is where I bought it. I drove it home (350km). Then around like normal for a few weeks(adding 250km). Then the engine blew! That's #2.. It took me 3 months to put 600 km on it. Because shit kept fucking up. At 100 km intervals. Wether it was coolant pissing, or turbos pissing or things coming off because 4xToys left out all the bolts that were hard to get at. Bunch of idiots. Anyway.


So I bought a stock engine from jdmsource, did the swap myself, and put 3500 km on it in a month. I do sexy work, baby.

I had left the engine entirely stock when I put it in, as to not void the warranty. So then after I felt it was fully broken in and cleaned out, I started putting on some parts.

Started with:

rsr solid, equal length down pipe. Beefy.
Tomei dump pipes
R33 n1 turbos
Greddy suction kit
HKS intercooler piping
Splitfire coilpacks
No cat
Brake master cylinder stopper(was always on actually)
Full 3 inch exhaust. Straight pipe.

But I keep the stock catback on usually, unless im out for a cruise or to deafen Honda owners.

Heres some pics...

Bad pics cuz i was rushed to get them in. but damn are they ever massive. I love them. they only have milimeters of clearance too. definitly a good buy.

More coming

[mcfly]

You listed on mod I would never do again for a frequently driven street car. Straight pipe exhaust. I ran that for one year and was always worried about cops as the rb26 is still very noisy. This was ages ago though and on stock ceramics, possibly quieter on your n1's.

So 4x toys bought it from you, and you bought it back from them?

[Rapier46]

Haa ya it's so loud.


I bought the car from 4x toys. That's it. They do crap work and gave me a crap tune ecu, which had way advanced timing. Also they cut revlimiter. So that didn't work well.

[j-ran]

I always keep my exhaust silencer in the trunk of my car just incase i run into an angry mountie.

[DrMango]

Sounds like a good car but wheres the pictures! Im in red deer so hope we can get a meet going in the spring. Maybe I can be your red deer GTS friend lol

[Allan74]

Jamie, I'll be your new GTR friend.......but you have to help an old man work on his car.....lol

[Rapier46]

Jamie, I'll be your new GTR friend.......but you have to help an old man work on his car.....lol

kewl. i love working on cars too. stealing knowledge from anywhere i can. I could help you with stuff though, im pretty good when it comes to the mechanical aspect.

[Allan74]

...and you are nice and skinny (unlike me) to fit under the car on jack-stands ;) .....LOL

[Rapier46]

haha yeah. being skinny has helped me out a few times. pulled a few gtr transmissions out while the car is on the ground. alone. would have failed hard if i was a bigger guy

[Rapier46]

Took a few pics of me trying to figure out the greddy suction kit. Pulled out my washer fluid bottle. Gonna have to find something new to have as a washer fluid bottle.

Any ideas?


Took them with my iphone, looks pretty good.

Jumped my friends Jetta last night, into the snow, had a hell of a time getting him out hahaha. (natetheguy on this site)

http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/2006/img0145y.jpg

[natetheguy]

lmao ya we had fun. glad we had the truck to pull me out

[Allan74]

WHY did you just put this thing up for sale ?

[Rapier46]

Probbaly has something to do with the winter blues. havent driven it....especially with the new parts. and im like..ugh i want something. but no matter what i get i cant drive it for a while anyway. i wont end up selling it.. but if somehow i do, itll be for a subaru, rx7, another silvia(ive had 2), or a house.

And i have that rb26 in my garage ready for rebuild...so that might go in whatever i buy, if i do indeed sell.

[Allan74]

Well, hopefully things work out in your favour, either way it ends up.

[Rapier46]

ahhh i moved it inside from outside and let it warm up. it was nice..

[Snow]

I saw your for sale ad.

Car looks good man. It's something I'd jump on in a heart beat if it popped up once I start looking into GTR's...

Anyways hope you keep it... at least until I want it. Wine red.... mmmmmm...

[Rapier46]

hahah thanks alot man.

We'll see what happens with it.

but i just got a new plan for it...



1. Right now, i have a blown rb in my garage(rod knock)

2. I thought of a sexual idea.

3. I bought this engine and put it in....this idd not occur to me until 15 mins ago.

4. POSSIBLE PLAN: The engine in my GTR now: Keep it relatively stock. Remove upgrades i have installed up to now. take my OTHER engine by the BALLS and start building it. im thinking:

T51R
HKS 2.8L stroker kit

That is just an idea for now.

OR i but a white GTR and do this to it. because i adore white GTRs so much.

4.

[Snow]

I'll tell you what.

We trade cars. Your GTR. My white GTS-t. You like white, I like the wine red.

Then you transplant that RB26 into the GTS-t. Mad sleeper? I think so. Mad tight? Hells yes. Everyone wins? Better believe it.

[Rapier46]

but I want a white gtr!

[mcfly]

Stroker's are a lot of money that you really don't have to spend

[Rapier46]

Probably...but ...they're so awesome...

[Snow]

but I want a white gtr!

My car looks like a GTR. Close enough anyways.

You know you want to. It's itching inside. It's almost a burn. When it's a burn, you tell me.

[Rapier46]

I'll let ya know hahaha but I want a gtaaaarrrrrreee

[Rapier46]

ALRIGHT. I GOT SOME SHIT DONE.

Jamies old engine; that has a tad bit of knock...

[mcfly]

http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/364/dscf1127k.jpg
it appears the rod cap has seen quite a bit of heat. I would consider a cheap aftermarket rod or replacing 5/6 as they appears to have seen the brunt of this.

http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/7538/dscf1126.jpg

is that a crack?

[Allan74]

#6 Piston even looks good. From the pics anyways, it seems that #1 piston shows the most signs of detonation.......but it could be my eyes....lol
Decent.

[rb-racer]

I dont see any detonation. i think its just oil/water making it look funky

[Rapier46]

ya theres a little of coolant ona coupe of them. i dont knoww hat to do now, maybe keep stock stuff for now, as far as piston and rods go.

[Stefan_001]

a stroker kit is a ton. just keep it simple. cp pistons, carrillo rods, arp hardware, balance and polish the crank also have the block cleaned,honed,line honed and decked. Then for the head you can do a full PNP with full valvetrain. You don't always have to buy HKS this and that. There are alot of american companies that make good parts for japanese cars.

[Zacho]

I think the idea of putting in an almost stock engine for the time being is a good idea. It seems lots of people loose interest when they can't even drive/use the car at all so it just sits.

[Rapier46]

Well I want it to run strong. Be able to handle whatever I can throw at it. So I need to know:

what are these parts good for hp wise:
stock pistons
stock rods
stock headgasket


And if I go with that combo, what rod bearings and main bearingS should I go with?

I need to know what I should but for:

rod bolts
rod bearings
main bearings
oil pump
head studs

Allan chime in, :). I'd like cheaper, but they need to be able to handle good power. Like 600 MAX. More along the lines of 450-500 whp

[Rapier46]

I did some cleaning today.. and im bored so i got pics.


Dream garage?

(except for all the shit my dad hoards...)

[M13]

nice garage. What's your plans for the spare engine?

You should also clean your engine bay while you're at it.

[natetheguy]

You should clean yourself. Damn you smell

[Rapier46]

nate you have no idea, i havent showered for like 5 days.

anyway.

m13 my plans are undecided, that other engine was knocking im sure you knew. so i tore it apart to fix it all up.

was gonna build it for high hp. but i think im gonna go with more oem stuff than aftermarket. so it will still hold like 500 whp no problem.

[M13]

Yes I knew it was knocking, but was wondering if you were going to make it a nice forged 26 or a good reliable OEM spec 26.

I am pretty envious of that garage however.


Carrying on from the other thread, a stud is better than a bolt of same metal grade as a bolt head can twist and stretch (I watched a slow-motion video somewhere) under load, and actually fails at the head. Studs resists this and fails at a higher load in the middle. (rarely happens if the right grade is used for the right application)

Stud>bolt.

[Rapier46]

Probably mostly oem parts. But it will hold solid hp.

[Rapier46]

welll ive been biz. got it all running and have taken it out a few times. just need to screw with my power steering again. relocated the res and i didnt use strong enough hose i guess, it sucks it in when pump is running.

[Rapier46]

BRAKE DUCTING!

the otherside is a masterpiece, it had to go around the intercooler piping and recircs and stuff.

[Zacho]

Even a nismo bag, arent you fancy :p

[Rapier46]

Lol yeah it's better than a coolant jug cut in half with a zip tie through it!

[Allan74]

Wanna race for pinks ? Track, straight line.....you choose.

[Rapier46]

why would you want this socalled "piece of shit"

[Allan74]

why would you want this socalled "piece of shit"

Winter beater ;)

[Rapier46]

If you can't handle your own in winter, you can't handle mine eiter.

[M13]

Honestly, ghetto-piping brake ducting don't work too well and look hideous. Have you thought about panel ducting to channel the air like Porsches do? A lot cleaner and work better (rather than limited to the cross-sectional area of the hoses/collecting grime/shit/rats/dirt/oil, etc.)

[Allan74]

Cock piss shit fuck

[Rapier46]

OF course it will help. May not work as well as an entire ducting panel, but it is 1000 times better than nothing.

An actual panel may be put on if I find one. But I'm in school right now, so money isn't plentiful

[M13]

Cock piss shit fuck

roflmao allan strikes back in tourrette.



I'm working on some air ducting/panels. in FG or CF of course...

[Rapier46]

allan fails at e-tourettes.

[Rapier46]

Well I'm gonna try to get brake lines cheap. And I still need brakes. And a rad.

Yup.

How do your like those side mirrors?

[Rapier46]

They are functional

[M13]

They are functional

Can they still flip inward when pushed manually (obviously no remote function like stock I'm guessing)

[Rapier46]

They fold in yes, and the mirror itself is power.

Oh, hello. Didn't see u there.

This is the thread for my GTR. I do all the work myself. Except the tunic. Because I haven't done that yet. I live just outside Calgary AB. My only gtr friend has moved away.


So my gtr started out as any other. Then came to Canada and destroyed an engine because AutoDream sucks at tuning. Then it got bought by some dipshit dumbshits in coalhurst AB(4xToys, they are retarded when it comes to gtr's, who knows what else). They put in a new engine. This is where I bought it. I drove it home (350km). Then around like normal for a few weeks(adding 250km). Then the engine blew! That's #2.. It took me 3 months to put 600 km on it. Because shit kept fucking up. At 100 km intervals. Wether it was coolant pissing, or turbos pissing or things coming off because 4xToys left out all the bolts that were hard to get at. Bunch of idiots. Anyway.



Hi, My name is Nguyen, I own AutoDream and I was the one that install an and tuned an Autronic SM4 into that car, The customer drove that car perfectly fine for a long time without any problem. He bump into a guy name fidel, that was working with Vex performance from Reddeer that had promise to retune the car and it will make a lot more power. after a long time of the car being there, the customer called me and ask if I would retune his car if he tows it back to Calgary. I told him yeah, I don't have any reason to be mad at him for bringing his car to another shop hopping to make it better. so a few weeks later the car came on a flat bed, not idling very well, rod knock like crazy. so we went to diagnose the cause, what we found was, there was more gas in the oil than oil itself. We told him there is nothing we can do to help him when the engine was damage. he towed the car home and started to part it out, so he can pay off the loan that he had on the car. What do you think we could of done better for this car? by the way the customer that used to own this car, his name is Austin.
