R33 KR4 engine bay paint code?
GTSBoy replied to Desean Strickland's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)

Stiffer bushes don't change the ride, which is controlled by spring and damper. It does transmit more noise and sometimes makes sharp suspension inputs more noticeable (and therefore feel harder) mostly because of the noise.

R32 Fuel Injector Resistor
GTSBoy replied to CanadianGuy's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Yuh. R32 RB20s do not have an injector resistor pack. That is for RB26s, which use low impedance injectors. And there are 6x resistors in it, because there are 6x injectors. A single resistor can't handle 6x injectors. -
installing a manual boost controller R34 GT-t
GTSBoy replied to JC71's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Yes. Yes. On an R32, for example, the nipple is actually connected onto the compressor housing. Right on the front. There is probably a pad on the front of yours that could have been drilled and tapped, but likely wasn't, because they stopped putting it there, for some reason. If there's a fitting on that elbow, then yes. Can't see it because the photo is tiny and the arrow is in the way. But yes. -

The only good spot is the hot pipe. -
Another BK R32 GTR money pit...
GTSBoy replied to BK's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
Yes, but at the same time, no. -
Pffft! I'm gradually losing the fight against spherical joints in my suspension and I am never upset by any increase in NVH or stiffness that comes along with each new install.

Do it properly. Add a nipple to the hot pipe. -
R34 running rich but code 55?
GTSBoy replied to Connorrd's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Don't clean the O2 sensor. It doesn't need it/can't benefit from it/has a fragile ceramic part. -
"Clean" as in "low enough counts of coliform bacteria and other gut twisting nasties that you can drink it without fear of shitting your insides out afterwards. Not necessarily "clean" as in "freshly melted off a virgin glacier that last saw open atmosphere sometime before the mammoths went extinct". Adelaide has some of the "cleanest" water in Australia. By this I mean that our water traditionally made it to our reservoirs by trickling across cow paddocks and so the old engineers at the E&WS had to learn how to clean it good to make it safe to drink. Doesn't mean that it wasn't nasty tasting, hard as rocks and chock to the brim with chlorine. By contrast, Sydney had it so good with water that original fell on pristine mountainsides that their water supply engineers never learnt how to scrub water properly and so for years and years there were Giardia outbreaks and the like, that only stopped when some E&WS engineers went across and taught them how to do it. In some places, like Bunbury in SW WA, the water falls from the sky nearly every day, but still somehow manages to taste like it was filtered through some rusty steel wool. Safe to drink though - just nasty tasting.

So there it is. It's probably a 470 kOhm resistor. 470k being a typically available size that is close enough to the ~500K resistance offered by the knock sensor. That stops the ECU from thinking that the knock sensor is absent, but doesn't otherwise do anything.
-
That little thing is a resistor. What you say about it being involved in pins 16 & 17 is hard to reconcile with reality, as pin 16 is connected to the ECCS relay (which is the main relay that starts up and runs the ECU) and pin 17 does nothing. If I were going to put a resistor anywhere on an ECU connector, it would be to fix a water temperature (which would be both a very bad idea, and be pin 28) or across the knock sensor (with a 500kohm resistor) to fake it out if it has been removed (also a bad idea, and would be on pin 23 or 24). But those mods would be on the ECU side of the connector. Doing it in the loom side is tres weird. Would you care to please show a photo and sketch of the damage?

R34 running rich but code 55?
GTSBoy replied to Connorrd's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Well.....it's an NA. So there is no point in spending a single dollar on trying to make it go faster, because it won't. You can make it louder, and that's about it. Don't buy another AFM for it yet. The one you have might be a piece of shit, or it might be OK. Put that to one side for the moment. See if you can locate someone with a known good genuine one that you can test run. The CEL issue could still be cat related, particularly the overtemp sensor problem I called out earlier that no-one seems to have noticed. I would look into that first. You should also consider the O2 sensor as a likely candidate for running rich. Ideally you'd take it to a mechanic who has a good scan tool and you'll be able to watch the AFM voltage and the O2 sensor voltage as it is driven and see if they make sense. -
I dunno. The hex on the valve will be something large, like a 22mm. If you don't have the right spanner to put on it, you can always put a 10" shifter on it, then measure the opening of the jaws (if you want to buy a spanner) or use some vernier calipers to measure it. And yes, there's no need to worry until you have the new one, and you can measure that.

Haha. I'd forgotten it was NA. Just put an LS into it. -
R34 GT-R Positive Battery Cable Routing
GTSBoy replied to duggyphresh's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
If by this you mean the stiffening rib in the floopan, then probably yes. There would be no way that it would be attached to the actual subframe. That would be silly. -
How does the air regulator works ?
GTSBoy replied to bigboss59400's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Neo has a combined IACV and AAC on the back end of the plenum. Coolant heated (it's got a bleed point on it). No electrical heat. Works very nicely when it is clean. -

GTSBoy replied to Connorrd's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
The other option is to go the Nistune route. Buy R35 AFM and adapter tube (for <<$700). Spend >>$700 on Nistune install. Switch from stock AFM to R35 in the software, boost off into the sunset. Not necessarily better than the full ECU router (in fact definitely not cheaper than the full ECU route) but definitely going to be cheaper to get from "What the f**k is wrong" to "It's working now". -

GTSBoy replied to bigboss59400's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
It kinda is controlled by the ECU - in that the power to run all this is from the ignition relay which is all tied up in a loop with the ECU and the ECCS relay. -

GTSBoy replied to Connorrd's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
CEL is also the catalyst overtemperature alarm (which should be obvious by the appearance of the graphic in the light). It is a better than even bet that the temperature sensor is f**ked from having been unceremoniously hoiked out of where it is supposed to be (ie, the missing cat). -
Nope. No idea. What do you mean by "bolt" anyway? The banjo bolt? You asking about the head or the thread?

It's not connected to the fuel pump. It's connected to the same 12V supply as the fuel pump, so that it is only heated when the fuel pump is active (ie, mostly when the engine is running). In case that wasn't clear, it is heated. Electrically. When it is cold, it is open and flows air. When it is warmed up, it closes, and does not flow air. Hence, it is a cold engine idle up. -
Unless you know for sure that it is coming from the hose/connector parts, it could also be from the PS idle up valve. You could pull that off, clean things up, add some thread sealant and try it again. Or buy a suitable plug to dead-end that outlet.
