The Retarded VQ35HR R32 SKyRine build

[Toms2jz]

Sick build man, looking at this thread made me order a new set of sp1's lol. Did you order your front sp1 yet?

[K_style]

Man.. I have been missing recent progress !!!
Hope I get to see this car when I visit BC next time !!

[KeesHimself]

[illvialuver]

[tr4c3]

THATS A COOL BUILD.
have you thought of doing a vq35hr awd setup? im about to try and do one in my r32gtr..

just finding the front diff gears is abit tricky.. dont want to be stguck with the 3.2... from the 7 speed auto.

[C-unit]

The whole point of the build is light weight, that's why I ditched the AWD. I always think a RWD handles better than an AWD. Someone might disagree but that's my opinion.

I've spend some time doing my interior lately. Here we go!

Mock up the stack, Still have to weld a mount so it will sit in a perfect angle.


Have the center console in. Hydro-Ebrake is mocked up. I still need to have a tab weld on to the ebrake itself so I can use the stock location.


The Hydro-E is like made specific for R32!!!
Brake Bias is also fitted in the arm rest.
Climate control is relocated in the arm rest.


I also have the serpentine belt installed.

Looks like that ebrake could work on a Z32 as well. Interesting...

[ZenkiCam]

such a sick r32..

[Black240Ct]

that interior looks nice with the controls tucked in to the arm rest

[tricky_ab]

Yes for updates! Thanks for keeping us posted...

[C-unit]

made a CF plate:





while waiting of the small bits for the engine..I bolted the fenders down and somehow the rebar was super saggy..

I know you are using Carbon fiber for just about EVERYTHING... But you can buy ABS plastic and use it for small trim piece's it's really easy to work with and is pliable, Just food for thought. Might not be as "Swank" as CF but it looks clean and if you buy textured plastics they look like factory stuff.

[illvialuver]

Thanks for the updates. How are you doing up there? Keep everything up, it WILL be worth it.

Yea..those small CF trim pcs are actually some of the cooling panels that were destroyed during shipping..lol I just cut them out so I am not wasting anything! (hince it was an angle peice)

Spring is here! I have to Haul ASS!!
My friend has most of the small pieces done to finish off the swap and we are planning to have the engine in on wednesday.

It might looked like a small update but me and my buddy actually spend a whole day planning out how to install the hydro-E, drawing everything out, trimming the arm rest..etc. It was alot more work than I thought it.

[JRas]

this build is legit

my vq35hr has been sitting in the garage since I bought it..

I need moneys like you :-)

[240sxr]

sick build man!!!! any updates?

[C-unit]

Got alot of small bits done but not worth updating yet. I'll have a big update once I have the engine in.

Biggest problem here is the header hitting the stseering shaft. I've bang it 1000x times and it e still rubs. I have pulled the engine in and out more than 10x last week. It needs to be cut and reweld but I don't have a welded here so my friend took it to his work to get it done. Everyone is busy and this is where I am stuck at.

Otherwise, I am tired of working on it and needs a break.

[dreamin240sx]

good job man very impressive you need to take a road trip to summit point WV and tear up that track.

[97240TB]

Have individual Flange's made for each runner on the driver side, then have the header built so it can snake around the steering column... Just a thought.

[illvialuver]

well take a break your cars not going anywhere!!!! lol, but soon it will, looks good, and I know what you mean about waiting. Looking forward to your next post/ update.

[AGNT84]

super sick 32 man....good job keep up the good work

[terribleone]

Wow man, your car is amazing... That's all I have to say about it!!

[bc.]

keep up the good work sir!

[irax]

nice! keep up the work!

[KansaiDrifter]

There is stuff like this, I'm planning on picking up a set myself and making some long tubes one of these days lol.

VQ35DE Header Flange Set HRS - VQ35DE HFHR - 6725 BMC Racing Products

[C-unit]

No update for a long time because I was busy and bought a new car.




Kinda work on the car alittle bit last weekend.
- After I have my knuckle modified, my wheel is hitting the tension rod. Does anyone encounter this problem? ( I assume R32/S13 should be relatively similar with the same lower control arms and tension rod). I am running 18x10 +20 in the front right now. My lower control arms are adjustable but pushing it out doesn't really solve the problem.

[Walperstyle]

Nice car dude. You've been funding some amazing projects for yourself over the years. I remember you selling cars on NWN back in like 2004ish.

For anyone that still hates this guys build, remember even Jun Auto swapped SR20's into GTR's to go race.

[drftwerks]

sooo sasha racing headers on this bitch or what?
