//Running in the 90s// R32 GTS-T Revival

[Dolph_KYAS13]

It was a super awesome surprise.

Wedding went well, we couldn't have asked for a better day.





the photographer used the car as a prop for some photos (but we wont seem them for a couple months)

Went to Athens and Santorini for a couple weeks for the honeymoon and rented a little side by side to tour the island.



Now I'm back and enjoying the car again. Its nice to have time to work on things again.

I really need to finalize the wiring for the undercar lighting as well as put the Tommy kaira livery on.

I am already getting power hungry and might have to chuck a rb25 turbo on in the next couple of weeks as well.

Congratulations


AND just do a Rb25 swap

[tauntdevil]

Congrats mate! Great car as well! I say do a neo

[Dolph_KYAS13]

Not the best photos but I'm too excited not to share.

Carefull mate in couple years she will try sell all your toys ...enjoy your every last rides in two doors

Loving this man. Has been a really good read.

Like a few people have already said, the HKS-themed rocker cover is one of my favourite touches. Really compliments the bay and the 90's feel this car emits. Hope to see more updates soon

I dont think that will be the case here but ill keep my eye out

Ive been enjoying the car for the past few days. I really like the two tone look of the new livery.



Also finished (almost) another important mod to the car.



I had wired everything up to have the LED module in the back seat area of the car. Since im now running back seats, I have to extend the wiring for the LED strip under the front.



Ehh 75% is still a pass.

This weekend was full of car hangs and good times,

Got the under glow all wired up and took doggo out for a late night cruises.





Sunday consisted of washing the cars and a nice summer BBQ with friends.





Us Canadians sure know how to fill up a driveway with nice metal.

Hey bro, hit up Overdraft auto on Facebook. Simon has a sweeeet pic of your car at shannonville, I don't want to post it out of respect for him but it's a great shot! He will probably post it in a few days I imagine though if you want to wait.

[drfftn]

What kind of wing do you have on your r32? I have a similar one on my gtst

I Believe it is a winning sports wing.



Could also be a bomex one as well.

Awesome build, keep it nice! Nice thread too.

Thanks! Its not really a "build thread" so to say. Its more of a life with a 25yr old nissan thread

I have an intermittent misfire in cyl 6. Im going to chuck on a new igniter to see if that makes a difference. It could be the old coilpacks or crappy coilpack harness which in reality should both be replaced. Splitfires or yellow jackets run around 500 CAD with our awesome exchange rate + another 100 for a harness is just a little spendy.

I've also started looking into upgrading to LS2 Coilpacks and converting to that over the winter I just need to figure out where to mount them cleanly. I kinda limited myself by not wanting to lose the coilpack cover I machined or cover up the valvecovers.

In other news I washed it this weekend and went for a little drive to the shop to see what was up.



A friend of a friend brought his RB26 swapped GTS-4 up for a complete respray. There are lots of cool trinkets on this car which set it apart. its got full NISMO gauges, wheel and shifter among some other little things. It should be a cool sleeper when its done.



Its amazing to see one in stock aesthetic trim on OEM GTR shocks.


One more shot with Japandog

I hear that - I'm on the fence about picking up a r32 gts-t from a dealer here that imports them. Just not sure I have the skillset to work on the car and I don't have a garage...I don't mind learning, but the no-garage part kills me.

Cars looking great btw!

[Dolph_KYAS13]

^ Thanks!

Went to the Ontario / Quebec annual Skymeet this past weekend. Got to catch up with some old friends.



Black Sheep.

Unfortunately I arrived late and had to leave early. this was the only photo I got (parked up with the G37's)

This is an awesome thread. I've got a 32 sedan GTST that I'm building. Blew the head gasket so it's getting the top end rebuilt. But I too am doing a 90s style. Although I'm going for the Touge/GT style. I need to start a build thread here soon.

We learned mine is a custom order being a 5 speed sedan with full options. Power everything AC. Etc. And TH1 blue. Which as far as we know is coupe only. I've only seen a few TH1 GTRs and a couple coupes. 1 S13. Still never another sedan.

Probably doing the Tommy Kaira kit for mine also. But I have to mod the skirts because back doors.
On top of finding them. Haven't even really looked yet. Can't decide which direction of kits and shit I want. But whatever.

Ah so it's still in the city?! I had seen the sales thread a while ago, but I didn't think much after it was listed as sold.

And I feel you on the current exchange rates. I'm staying off of the "fun" parts sites for the rest of the year. It's just too much of a loss right now.

I only ever knew about upG and YAJ.

I've finally got to the bottom of the misfiring issue I think. I checked the ECU for codes and it came back saying MAFS and Coolant Temp Circuit. I cleaned the MAFS and ordered a new coolant temp sensor. I also switched the ECU for a mines one I had as a spare.



I'm kind of skeptical using this ECU because I'm not too sure what it is exactly tuned for. I'm assuming its the standard speed cut and a tune to correct for basic boltons (exhaust, intercooler, BOV ect.)

It came from a buddy who used it for a couple years in his car and he swears by it. Plugged it in and the car runs much better with it over the stock ECU I had.

i have not had any sort of stereo in the car since its been on the road and have been looking into replacing my trusty knockoff beats pill with something i don't have to take out and charge every other day.



Every stereo headunit (aside from the panasonic "ghost" which i had in my old hatch) are extremely tacky looking and I would like to retain my climate control, din gauges and cupholders.

I had planned on piecing together a "headunitless" bluetooth system which would just stream from my old Iphone. After doing a bit of searching I found a 1200W bluetooth amp for boats for less than $50.



I am a bit skeptical because the reviews for it were not the greatest. The bluetooth controller is HIDEOUS but it can easily be stuffed away somewhere. I've tested it with the two rear speakers and so far as I can tell it performs better than my knockoff beats pill so that's a win for me.

Sometime this week I will do a proper install with all 4 speakers. I just need to figure out what wires go to the front speakers and wire them up.

Also yesterday I went to my first Cars and Coffee event. I normally stay away from car meets as they tend to attract an immature crowd. Usually all the "adult" car meets around my house are just filled with 70's american cars so i was excited to see different things.



I got there early ish and managed to get a spot along the side of the building



It was the last one of the season so there was a huge overflow of cars out onto the street. great variety of cars.





90s poster cars out in full force. Its amazing to see how small the F40 was next to a modern day Ferrari

This super period correct 300zx caught my eye too. I didnt get a chance to talk to the owner but it looked like a great car.

[Dolph_KYAS13]

so its that time of year again when one runs out of light to do anything at 730. I installed the Pyle bluetooth amp over a couple of nights. I had to take everything apart and run new speaker wire for the rears and do a continuity test on the front speakers to see where everything went.



I wired everything up, mounted the amp under the rear parcel shelf, solder & heatshrink'd all the connections turned it on and the amp would only play one channel. (think of if your headphone jack is pulled out halfway). Ripped it all out and returned it for a full refund. I should have listened to the reviews.

Plan B was to wire up a kenwood deck I had planned on using before my period correct OCD took over.



Not super stoked on ruining the look or losing my cupholders but driving around without music was getting dull.



At least it matches. and has a bonus bluetooth function. I've ordered one of those really small 32gb usb keys to dump all my music on and prevent me from having to run my ipod cable to the centre console.



Scored another Nismo trinket to replace the fugly mishimoto one



Fall is coming so I hope to get a few more drives in before winter hibernation.

Winter?

What's that

Canadian hell or Subaru season, depending on who you're asking.

Send Mines the ECU number. They should have it on file. Heard it takes them a while to respond. But maybe you'll eventually have all the details. Worth a shot lol.

[ka-titties]

Reading the part about your friends surprising you at the track gave me goosebumps dude! That's awesome! Great thread, keep it up, man.

Thanks for reading. It was a pretty awesome surprise and a great day out.

Went out last weekend in search of some nice driving roads. Found that the Zestino Gredge 07rr also work well as all terrains.



I did manage to find some nice windy roads to play on but unfortunately they were all plagued with minivans and SUVs. I will have to venture out when it isnt a holiday long weekend (Thanksgiving in canada) when the roads are clearer.
