Hi guys

So it has been a few days, and all but 4 or so of the parts have arrived the rest will be picked up on tuesday from wollongong :/

The head is still at the machine shop. I've been at work the past few days, so i haven't had the time to go there. Hopefully will be ready to pick up on tuesday.

Now for some pictures!

The g12+ coolant 5L, Coolant bottle, Head gasket, rocker cover gasket, Fuel canister? not sure exactly what its called, or what its function is, a belt in better condition than my one (because why not?), and the little t-piece that was broken for the coolant/water lines.



Gearbox and diff oils, one fuel filter, two oil filters, thermostat, pipe, thermostat housing, and a few of those seals, LHS headlight washer cover, intake gaskets, and assortment of exhaust gaskets.

So whilst waiting for the head to come back, the lifters were cleaned and those other bits and pieces were also done.


The before:


The soon to be after:





So yeah, not much of a major step, but a little taste of whats to come, and an update of what parts have been received

Until next time, adios amigos

Is this last pic of a.r32 wreck?

Quick question Luka, is the gear knob from that wreck in reasonable condition? Have you got any photos of the wreck?

Love how this build is going Luka - can't say I'm a massive fan of the inlet manifold painted black and the gloss black R32 badge. I would keep the engine bay looking original and stick to the .:R32 badge in the centre to be honest.

Have you had a chance to capture a video of the car running? I'd love to hear it with the cams and extractors etc. I highly recommend Hi-tech mufflers in Darlinghurst to fix up the exhaust tips on your '32. Quality service, experience and professionalism are what these guys have.

Can I recommend 25mm rear spacers? Alex has them on his MKIV R32 and they set off the car brilliantly. Real shame I never got to see your VR6 in the flesh.

Worth commending you on your efforts to get the car running again
