[VH45GTR]

[IMG]HI GUYS, THIS IS MY FIRST POST ON NICO THOUGH I HAVE KEPT AN EYE ON ALL THE PROJECTS EVERYONE HAS GOING ON.MY CURRENT PROJECT IS AN R32 GTR WITH A VH45, RUNNING AN R33 GTS 5 SPEED GEARBOX. THE CAR IS NO LONGER 4WD AS I PREFER THE *** OUT ATTITUDE OF A POWERFUL RWD CAR.TO START WITH THE ENGINE. IT'LL REMAIN INTERNALLY STANDARD, HALTECH E6X COMPUTER, 4 INTO 1 HEADERS, MEZIERE ELECTRIC WATER PUMP, KCS POWERSTEERING PUMP, MSD ALTERNATOR, NOS DIRECT PORT FOGGER KIT. ONCE THE CAR IS COMPLETLY SORTED FUTURE PLANS ARE TO PRO CHARGE THE ENGINE.THE CLUTCH IS A TILTON TRIPLE PLATE CLUTCH, CUSTOM FLYWHEEL AND AN OS GIKEN GEAR SET, CARBON FIBRE TAILSHAFT AND STANDARD GTR REAR DIFF WITH NISMO 2 WAY LSD.I'LL POST SOME PHOTOS AFTER THE WEEKEND AS THE ENGINE WILL BE FINALLY MOUNTED TO THE ENGINE PLATES.

Hey man!I'm just curious why you want to change the water pump, powersteering pump, and alternator... the stock versions of all of these are pretty good... and work perfectly fine, and it seems illogical to blow money on all of these.

I'M REPLACING THE FACTORY WATER PUMP, ALTERNATOR AND POWERSTEERING PUMP BECAUSE 1; THEY ARE A LOT HEAVIER AND BULKIER THER THE AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENTS AND THE ALT AND POWER STEERING PUMP WONT WORK WITH THE ENGINE PLATES. GOING TO AN ELECTRIC WATERPUMP IS LIKE CHEAP HORSE POWER, HERE AT WORK I'VE SEEN AS MUCH AS 25 WHP INCREASE WHEN USING AN ELECTRIC WATER PUMP.

i guess the nice thing about that is you could run coolant through the block without the motor running, making cool down after hard running easy..

Welcome to NICO, i cant wait to hear and see more about this. If you need help posting pictures, let me know.
