R32 GTR F&R LCA mounting points
GTSBoy replied to Torque Curve's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
There's a thread on here from years ago with the question "why aren't there any FUCAs that move the top of the upright further back" or something like that. Has good info in it.- 8 replies

aftermarket coolant temp gauge wiring question

Oops. I never heard about the 5 bux. So it never happened either way! -

I myself thought that the R32 GTS4 had the same 5 bolt diff flanges as the GTSt. Someone on here (just the other day) swore black and blue that the GTS4 diff was the exact same 6 bolt setup as the GTR. I myself find this hard to believe, because the GTS4 has the same shitty VLSD centre as the GTSt, not a mech diff like a GTR. This confusing nonsense does not directly help you, but shows that I agree with Duncan that the GTS4 rear diff is not an easy swap with a GTR diff. You should get under your car and take a photo of the diff and flanges for us to make this the=read a useful and searchable resource for the future.

XSPower isn't a brand. It's cheap chinky shit.

Outside air temperature sensor r32
GTSBoy replied to SeanR32GtSt's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
OK, so you have the loom plug and the other half of that connector and the short length of wires and no sensor. That wasn't clear from the outset, but it is now. Someone has yanked the sensor straight off the wires! Should be easy enough if you can find a sensor to solder on there. -

Plugs into the wires, has the air flowing over it. -
R34 GTR with Platinum Pro switching to Hall Effect Sensors?

aftermarket coolant temp gauge wiring question
GTSBoy replied to smart_garrett's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Aaahhhh....take the single wire temp sensor out at your great peril and misfortune. That one is for the ECU. The 2 wire runs the dash gauge. -
Outside air temperature sensor r32
GTSBoy replied to SeanR32GtSt's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Effectively, yes. Although I would do it a bit more classy that just soldering it direct. I'd try to arrange it inside a suitable case with crimp connectors for the loom connection. But my point about scrounging one from another Nissan was that it should be the same* thing, meaning you don't have to stuff about except to put a loom plug back on the chopped wiring. * Maybe not the same housing - but hopefully the same electrically. -

Funny you should be in the US (permanently). That's where I am (temporarily). Was in the wilds of Wyoming and Utah yesterday. Southern Indiana today. Back to Utah in a couple of days. Then Wyoming again. None of this helps you, obviously........but......if you can find an early 90s Maxima or any similar crappy FWD up-spec Nissan from the same era, there's a decent chance that the external temp sensor is the same thing. -
Outside air temperature sensor r32
GTSBoy replied to SeanR32GtSt's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Import wreckers anywhere and everywhere. Most front cuts probably just had these thrown away though, sadly. I'd help you out by going out and measuring the resistance of mine at a couple of temperatures so you could work out what it is (almost certainly a thermistor). But.....I'm on the other side of the planet from my car and will be so for more than a week. Return date still sufficiently vague that I won't even promise. -
Cheap alloy ones frequently do not fit without fiddling. Also, do not buy the really thick (50ish mm) ones because the fan will hit the stock shroud.

Better get one then. It's a black plastic lump that is mounted on the rad support. -
Auto tranny cooling loop in rad tank does 2 things. 1, it helps too warm the oil up from cold. 2, it transfers tranny heat to the coolant & out to the atmosphere when it's hot. If you have a stock auto cooler in place, don't change anything.

Yes it will. The AFM will simply read differently with different pipework up & down stream. And stick it up your arse with the "only want to hear from people who've done it". Some of us know this shit.

260rs vs GTR handling
GTSBoy replied to ben dinroad's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
They are still boaty. Nothing like as nice as a GTR, regardless of how much better than a plain one. -
Rb25de Neo vct solenoid & cam gear an upgrade for Rb25det?
GTSBoy replied to LaurelPWR's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
In Nistune you can see the flag for VCT active as you drive around. Above idle with a little load and it is ON. -

And yet, that's how it seems all of your above posts read. Not a bad effort for a newbie to come in and take the mantle of prickiest poster, but there you go. -
R34 GTT Running Too Much Boost?
GTSBoy replied to Dyzzii's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Probably not misfiring. Could be, but probably not. The standard ECU gets really upset if you go over about 12 psi. First you get rich & retard. Then it starts boost cutting, which feels like a miss.....because it is....just a deliberate miss. As to why it's overboosting.....who knows? The factory boost "leak" through the solenoid might have been made a lot larger, which will raise the boost above the ~7 that it is supposed to run. -
GTS4 does not have 6x1 diff flanges. That's the GTR diff. GTS4 has the same 5 bolt flanges as the GTSt. And the ratio is not 4.3. It is 4.375. This is important, because the normal GTSt diff is 4.3 and they are not the same ratio. Most of these diffs have been gobbled up by GTR owners wanting shorter gears for their cars. What died on your diff? You can (and should) get aftermarket centres that are 5000000000000 times better than the shitty viscous centre in there. And you can buy CW&pinion sets. And you can buy bearings. So unless the housing it rooted, you can rebuild it.

Power Steering / HICAS removal
GTSBoy replied to Adz2332's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
No. The R34 pump fits directly to the Neo....... I think the pulley and bracket mounts are different. You could use an R34 pump, but you'd no doubt have to sort out mounting it right and swapping the pulley.
