"Stella" R32 GTR

[monkee_pride]

Hey everybody, I'm Andy, and I bought this 1991 GTR in November of 2011. Here is some background about me; the GTR is my favourite car and always will be. Thus why I own 3 haha. I always wanted a reallr fast car so why not build the GTR? When I got the GTR, it came with:
- Blitz Full Auto Turbo Timer
- Blitz 4 inch exhaust
- GTR coils with lowering springs
- Field torque splitter
- Apex'i intakes

I will be keeping track of all my work here so if you guys have input on any of the work I have done or any suggestions just let me know!

These are the 3 that I own and the white one is my daily/winter beater.

I love the slammed daily with the thule on the roof.

Plans for all of them?

[monkee_pride]

UPDATE

I have been side tracked with Stella2 lately and ordered some keys for the cars as well as some plates so everyone will know its me haha. Starting pulling the engine out, didn't realize it would have so many components!

[monkee_pride]

Plans for the slammed daily is that I'm going to get a custom trailer hitch build so I can pull a utility trailer with the same rims and camber. Planning on heading to CALI for a Canibeat car meet of sorts! Hope you guys like!

UPDATE

Got down and dirty and with some elbow grease, finally got around to pulling the engine out! I never got around to telling you guys the plan I would like to see this finished with!

- RB28 built bottom end
- HKS T51R turbo
- HKS 272* 10.25mm lift cams
- PnP built head

Well those are some of the major components cause all the other stuff is the must have to those anyways haha.

The car isnt MINT persay but I would love to scrap it down from inside out and repaint/restore the whole thing. Master cylinder and ABS was leaking so that it ate the paint and started to rust on the surfaces. Time to put some more time to sanding the whole underbody and engine bay!

Your white gtr is sick! I see it at SAIT all the time, well done

[vtec]

Kept seeing sparks every 10 secs when your exhaust hit
the ground

Daaaaaaymn

Dude both skylines are freaking sick!

How's your turning radius on stella 2? Did you radius the front fenders or anything to get full lock? Or do you roll with less turning radius?

Reason I ask is I want to run the Z lower, but can't drop the front more without running into serious outer fender contact.

Can't wait to see the trailer setup!!

[monkee_pride]

I have the front fenders fully rolled but not pulled. I run 18x10.5 et0 and have a full turning radius without any rub. Just got to play around with the numbers. Oh and I run a massive stretch haha. 215/40/18 with a w rated tire. Bed unseated on me this week due to cold weather, need 4 new tires now haha.

Hmm, sweet. Do you have any galleries of the car I can creep on? lol

[monkee_pride]

I don't have many recent pictures of the car because I have lowered it over the summer but most of it is on tumblr.

UPDATE

So I got around to cleaning up the engine bay to prep it for some spot welds so I can start doing a wire tuck on my harness and such. Relocating the battery/ coolant res/ washer res/ fuse box. But winter came pretty damn fast so I had to spray over the uncovered metal just for now to prevent any further rusting as we park a JEEP in the garage beside her and it gets pretty humid in there some days. Won't be able to do too too much when the weather is cold but I think next ill drop the subframe and clean up all the parts for powdercoating.

I forgot to mention that Dannie Riel signed my car back at Driven 2012 if you guys haven't seen it haha. Screw the posters!





This is Dannie btw


Daily driven in the snow haha

[slinkie]

[Errol.]

Dannie Riel signed GTR, you're my hero haha
Looking good, can't wait to see the grey one done!

[DeleriousZ]

Pretty sure I spotted you parked on 12th st downtown on saturday. Car's definitely an attention grabber, even parked in dirty winter mode!

[Cooked Rice]

What did you spray the engine bay with? Looks to have turned out nice
