Brand new!

I just got my hands on a set of new r34 n1's for $3200. Im happy with these :lol: Just another question, is a blown turbo inevitable in a skyline or what?

ok thanks guys

Hey guys Just before the christmas holidays i managed to blow one of my 15 yr old gtr turbos just cruising up a hill <_< And now im looking for another set. I have been reccommended by everyone to get either 2530's, R34 N1's or GT-SS turbos for decent performance. Was wondering what eveyone would go for if they were in my shoes? This will help me make up my mind! Thanks.

I recently bought 2 apexi pods, and they are excellent! good induction sound too Personally i think if you have a japanese car, i think the japanese tuners would know what they are doing with their cars more than an italian company making filters for italian cars, and apexi pods r made in japan

Hey Rick! Well im not sure if i need a rebuild yet, but my car did die last week. The guys at the workshop reckons it shouldnt be serious and probs just needs new coil packs or spark plugs. But just incase if i need a rebuld i would like all the advice i can get! :lol:

Thanks guys, I hope i dont need a rebuild soon. I think I just need to get some new coil packs and spark plugs for mine. Are the Splitfire ignition coils any good?? I seen them for sale around $490ish from perfectrun.com.au. I saw a rb26 rebuild kit at high octane for $3860 with CP forged pistons. So from what you guys are saying, thats only part of the kit?

hey guys, I was just wondering what would be involved in an engine rebuild for an rb26? Like what parts would be invloved? B)

Hey, -No there is no smoke anywhere that i can see or smell. I coudlnt see any leaks either. -I just got some brand new apexi pods so it cant be clogged. -The boost gauage has always worked. when not on the throttle it sits around -7, but now its a bit higher. I suspect its either an injector problem or coil packs or maybe spark plugs? Maybe??

Hey guys, I just took my GTR out for a drive tonight. And i left about 20 secs up my street, when i was driving up a hill just normally not pushing it, i suddenly felt a lost of power and then i can hear rattling sounds from the engine. I can still drive it but when it is idling it feels like its about to stall, it idles really rough. I didnt really hear anything blow or pop. just sudden lost of power. Also when i try to start up the car again it kind of struggles to start but when it does it idles rough for a little while then its normal again. But when i rev it up to about 4k rpm and let it go back to idle I can hear a bit of ratttling from the engine. Also i noticed the standard boost gauage is sitting above -7 now. Hope its not a blown turbo or engine! Help please!

Skyline model = R32 GTR Wheel diameter = 18" Wheel width = 9.5" Wheel offset = +14 Tyre size = 245/40 All 4's Modifications to fit = None. But if i lower it more then i might have to lip the guards

So what could be the reason for the noise? Sounds like its not aligned properly...

Hye guys, I recently just fitted some 18x9.5 nismo rims onto my r32 gtr, and I have noticed that the steering was off and also the tyres were noisy. So I got a wheel alignment done today and it was better, but i can still hear a noise like the tyres are still getting eaten into. Also the steering wheel slightly vibrates. Does this mean I need a wheel balance?? CHeers Phil

Just a bit of advice if anyone else has this problem, it turns out that it was just the uneven tyres at the front and rears. The problem is gone after i got new rims! So before you do all the other stuff, check to see if the tyre wear is even at the front and back. Cheers Phil

Hey guys, Can you put me in a maybe as i just put some new rims and I think i desperatley need a wheel alignment before i do a long drive! If I can get it done on sat morning I will confirm Cheers Phil oh ps i have a r32 gtr not r33 gtr in the list.

Hey! Well i will be depositing $150 including delivery for 2 x standard afm's. The cheapest i could get them so far. I only have the stock ECU and not planning to make too much power. so stock ones will do me for now

Hey guys! Im a newbie to GTR's and i would like to come to da cruise with yas and meet some of u guys! Cheers Phil

Thanks guys, I have hooked myself up for a couple of standard ones. hopefully get them by weds so i can drive again I dont think I will get z32's cuz i heard you need to reset the ECU? or an aftermarket one?

PM sent mate

Hey! yes definetly. But because mine is cracked (the plastic) when i unbolted it to my air box! I need a new one fast. But if i havent got myself one by then i will buy them. Let me know if you can get them off earlier Cheers Hey mate, i got 2 std air flow meters coming off my car in early january if your interested? im putting a power fc d-jetro in so i wont be needing them no more. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Hi guys, I need an r32 gtr afm, any one got working spare?] Thanks Phil

Hi guys, Today I tried to install a couple of apexi pods in my r32 gtr, but as i was unscrewing the bolts from the air flow meter which joins to the air box, the plastic bits are so brittle that it broke and fell apart. <_< So now i only have 1 bolt holding it in place. And there is a bit of a gap on one side of the air pipe. My question is, is it still okay to drive? or will a small gap suck in too much dust in the engine etc? Also how much is a replacement AFM?? Thanks guys! I need help!

Hi guys, I was just wondering if a set of 18x9.5 +14 nismo lm gt2 rims would fit on a r32 GTR without needing any mods to the guards? Thanks in advanced!

nicee! i should do that too! just a question. on the gtr the 4wd fuse is also the heater fuse. does it mean if i pull it out i wont get heater? good thing its summer! i might need to drive around in rwd too until i get new rears.

Yeah i asked a mechanic today who owns an r32 gtr and he said the same thing as you. that the different wheel sizes will cause different rotational speed. And I have noticed this has been happening after I got two new front tyres only, and the rear ones are worn. So i will probably have an excuse to get 4 brand new rims instead :lol:
