is there a GTS workshop manual that covers the whole vehicle not just the engine?

Woah, theres a lot of BS been written here so far. Diesel mechs on 100k a year?? Yeah right, their working 12 hr shifts for 3 weeks on 1 off, how many people last doing that? Mining is dead. We will never have that boom again in our lives. Forget it. I am yet to meet a mechanic who is proud to be one after any length in the trade....Im talking about those that have made a career of it, not do the apprenticeship and leave. The automotive trade, cars especially, root your arms, back etc. Your playing in toxic chemicals all day. You have customers who follow you home to imitimidate you that think their right is to have things done for free. You work with noisy rattle guns, hammers, presses etc. Your playing in dust. Did you still know that only in the last couple of years has asbestos been banned in the automotive trade? Thats right, to pull a house down that has asbestos, you need a space suit, a license and get paid a fortune. A mechanic just scraps the gasket full of asbestos, or clutch or brakes and breathes that shit in with no protection. One fella commented that cars seemed simple. WTF, spend a week with me friend, you will walk away saying "F#$K that shit". Be aware that the MTA WILL NOT provide results for your work, unless you finish your apprenticeship. I know a bloke, who after three years, got his girlfriend pregnant, had to get a better paying job. He did not get any credit from the MTA, once things calmed down he restarted his apprenticeship from SCRATCH! You have been warned. Remember the MTA is privately owned, vs. TAFE being gov't owned, the difference this makes is significant. I didn't care about money at first, but now my mates earn 2 or 3 or 4 times what I do. It f$%ks me off no end. I have to save up for a pair of tyres for weeks. They can pay for a killer clutch with one pay. I drive a 20 yr old car, they drive a car with factory warranty. My car breaks, I cry. If their car breaks, I have to fix it, so I still cry. The pressure in a busy dealer workshop is horrendous. Mechanics have been institutionalised from the stress. Remember, one loose nut can kill a person or family. The mechanic who causes that WILL be charged with manslaughter. If you want to seriously be a mechanic. Get onto your local member of parliament and pressure them for licensing for mechanics. Then our wages may be better. Someone said mechanics wages are on the rise. In relation to what? Did you know some of the current diesels have 7 sensors around the DPF in the exhaust? Thats one part of the vehicle. The knowledge required for a mechanic is now bordering on rediculous, hence most mechanics leave the trade by 25yrs. The modern car is the most complecated item in production in the world. Mechanics are now expected to know about metals, fluids, airflow, body work, electrics, chemistry etc. Have our wages really risen? No way. No one is interested in hiring ex-mechanics to work other jobs. I've tried. Hence most become couriers or truck drivers or farmers. And all your mates expect you to fix their cars for free, but for some reason plummers and sparkys still get paid. There are other stupid disadvantages to being a mechanic such as no super paid on over time. About the only job where this is true. Only 6 sick days a year, again almost all jobs allow 12. 15 years for long service, most is 10 some 7 years. So, shit working conditions shit wages shit benefits shit future prospects shit jobs with out pay from friends/family and shit respect from the public......You WILL NOT pull chicks by telling them your a grease monkey. You will end up knowing heaps about cars if you apply yourself. But think about it, when was the last time you seen a car featured in a magazine that was owned by a mechanic? I've seen them owned by workshops, but never by an employed mechanic...so that knowledge is useless. Ive done some dumb things in my time, but CHOOSING to be a mechanic sure as hell tops the list.

Air regulator...are you sure about the throttles? Did you pull them out and clean them, or just adjust?

hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if your continually bursting pipes, that sounds like a head gasket

I wouldn't bother using a genuine clutch. Too weak, and too pricey. Go after market

Bit of a worry there. BNR32....Isn't that the GTR designation??? GTST?????? And the pics show a R33????? WTF?

swap the meters positions and retry to see if you get the same results.

Its a push. The slave cylinder pushes on the fork, which pivots on the pivot ball in the bell housing, and so the thrust bearing PUSHES on the clutch.

As above, check the oil cooler, comman trap for the unwary. I dunno how many engines have had their head ripped off, stress and time wasted looking for a leak/crack. Oil in radiator, check the oil cooler first, every time

That $10,000 fine is actually under the EPA act, which is not the road/traffic act, hence its a different section of law, I think the max fine caould be $20,000. Yes that has been dished out before. Usually to those who flout the Law big time, no cat, loud as exhaust, programmable ecu thats not been approved etc etc. I have heard of people having to sell the car as they couldn't afford the fine and repairs to get it road worthy.

I got a nismo one that looks something like that, not sure of the actual numbers though. Bloody heavy! And shudder! Lol, but my mates love it. Stalled it a fair few times in the first fortnight, but now i rarely do. Slippage? Never yet

And a pile of cash to continually look after her. lol

Beelzebub89, mine does the same. The noise comes and goes even at idle. Once its off idle the noise is gone. I popped the intake cam cover off and the valve clearance was excessive. That was quite some time ago. I am planning on ajusting the valve clearance when I can do with out my car for 4-5 days as I'll do it myself, and its a bit time consuming, plus gotta order shims. I've done around 40 000km and the noise is begining to become embarassing now...Its not a nice advert for the GTR lol. At first I was stressed about the noise but once I realized it was only tappets I was relieved...I still need to do them thou

Been thinking of this myself...

My understanding is the ECU looks at air flow (through the AFMs) and compares it to rpm, if its lower than expected keeps the waste gate shut, if its higher than expected opens the waste gate to reduce turbo speed, hence lower air flow. The ecu doesn't really worry about 'Boost', it worries about air flow

Hi all, My engine undertray is a little worse for wear, so I thought I might have a go a creating a custom under tray. I'll probably use like 3mm ply wood. I seen an article once where they did this to a mx5 I think it was. Has anyone here attempted this on a gtr? I intend to keep the brake ducts somehow.

Take the front tail shaft out and go for a drive...Very common for the front shaft to go...spins flat out with no load, wrecks the unis......Seen it plenty

mmmm nice...that makes me wanna go and polish my black GTR R32 right now...and fit my Enkeis.......Nice interior too

Where is this motor located?

No one knows the output of the R32 GTR O2 sensors?

Change the oil before you go wasting much more time and stress yourself more

Sounds like a syncro not doing its job properly. Got fresh oil in the gearbox? Correct grade??? How old????

Have you checked fuel pressure underload????????????????

Which Enkei's? Im wearing out my 16's then I was going bigger rotors and fit my Enkeis

Guys, can anyone advise the output voltage from the R32 GTR Titania O2 sensors??? Mine cycle nice at 2000 rpm, but at idle.....Front one is 0.9 volt constrant, rear one is all over the place between 0V and 1.9~2.0V........I have a harsh idle, no wonder given one sensors not working i thought they had an output of 0-1volt???
