G'day,
Can anyone read/write in Japanese?
My car was built by a workshop in Japan when it was brand new then soon after, bought & imported as a personal import by an English teacher when he moved back from Japan. It came with a full breakdown of parts that were used and it was one of the best performing and sounding R33 street/sport cars I have ever seen. Over the years a range of mechanics have meddled with it when it needed maintenance and somehow usually gave it back to me with less performance than it had before. To the point I got sick of paying people to basically send me backwards and I took it off the road. I would like to see exactly what went into the car when it was built and give the whole thing a updated but true to nature freshen up. But the parts list and specs is in Japanese...
Anyone here that could translate it for me, and would be willing to trade thier time for beer tokens?
Cheers,
IOI

As a matter of fact, I am a combustion engineer, aerodynamicst and supervisor of the engineers who do the CFD at my company.
I am comfortably capable, thankyou very much.
Fair enough. Your sketching might be a little better than most then. Lol. Including mine.
Even more interested in seeing them now.
And I would like to add that I apologise for my comment. I don’t mind eating my words at all when I am wrong.
I wasn’t paying enough attention as I was thinking about the HKS Vcam and misread your comment. I realised immediately after submitting my response and spent next 3 minutes cursing myself out and looking for the delete button. My mistake mate, sorry, didn’t mean any disrespect, was just a very strange thing to read, or think you have read... ✌️

This is a load of crap.
1. Vertical turbos. Sorry, they ain't vertical. They are no more of an angle than RB26 turbos have been aftermarket mounted for 20 years.
2. TJI as a retrofit? In your dreams bitch.
3. The plenum is very similar to several sketches that I did and can possibly be found posted on peformanceforums about 15 years ago. Granted, I was sketching for a VG30, but it's the same idea had by me and probably 20000 other people.
And the rest of it is nothing that hasn't been done by the rest of the aftermarket industry for years. The ignition mods for example.
The only place where HKS has ever led in this area is the VCAM stuff.

I'm under the assumption that it will "drop in" ( in the sense it will fit, not "plug and play". Sorry, I worded that incorrectly.) as the stagea/skyline share the same platform. The VQ25DET only came in one model car- 2002/2003(?) Stagea 250t.
As I have the NV35, it shares the same 5speed gbox as the Stagea the motor came from.
In my research so far, I have found a guy in Russia that has done it, but let's be real, how safe and reliable is the workmanship?
I've read that there are 3 computers(?), ecu, gbox and the ATTESA awd? I've got an autosparky lined up, but as Australia could never import the NV35 and NZ being absolutely flooded with the RWD models. Research for the last 2 years has been hard. The next best thing was America and the G35x....they seem to have used a mix of their OEM VQ35DE engine and VQ25DET parts, using a piggyback ecu.
20k/2 years, I see as reasonable.
Sensing a touch of prejudice... Lol. American?

Hello all,
First a quick intro about myself i'm currently a junior in university studying engineering across the pond in America, and my goal is to have the first W2W circuit r32 in America. This is a pretty bold clame but I'm determined to get it done as I believe I have enough prior motorsport knowledge where I don't believe its a shot in the dark. Now, there are lots of time attack cars running around, but that's not my jazz. I have raced in an enduro series in the states for a little bit but wanted to build my own car. The car is a '91 hcr32 that I got back in 2017 and it has been an open track day car since. Just recently have I started to tear it down and start some development on the chassis and engine. The car came to the port pretty much standard.
It then then got light modifications to serve as a weekend/dual purpose car like hicas delete, cusco coilovers, solid rear subframe bushings, koyo rad, koyo oil cooler, 25neo turbo, fmic and some other misc stuff.
Fast forward to 2019 when I was off at school on the other side of the country the car came with and got some more work such as a lot of new bushings, front and rear camber arms, tension arms. The rb20det got some love with a Garrett 2860rs turbo, all supporting modifications and a haltech platinum pro after the nistune board and kinugawa turbo took a poop. I also did some development with some catch can set ups and found a 2 can set up that worked good for me.
The car had since done countless open days at various tracks to keep me busy in between school, work, and racing this e46 which was owned by a friend at school and his dad.
Back to the r32. The plan for the car is to build the car roughly to make this coming season and do a lot of testing to gather any info that will help me for 2 years down the road when the car will get refreshed and another engine built that is more suitable for race use as the motor in it now is the refreshed motor it came with. The series I want the car to eventually race in is called WRL, which is an endurance series based in the states. To start where there car is at currently I have just finished removing the engine and stripping the car to prep for a cage which is being built by a well known race shop here in Colorado. The car left to the cage builder in a fairly empty state.
While the car is currently at the shop still I have been busy refreshing the ol 20det with a refreshed head, all new gaskets and pumps, and a checked over bottom end. I was also keen on trying a cheapo top intake plenum on the "mule" engine for some tests.
Most of the safety equipment is sitting in the garage ready such as a seat (OMP HTE-r), sabelt 6pt belts, window and drivers nets, and some other misc stuff. I have also been busy with sorting out the harness that will run to the rear of the car to control the lights, as I took the stock harness and stripped the hicas, amp, rear wiper, and other misc junk out of it so its very skinny and will fit next to the battery cable to the rear passenger side of the car. This is pretty much up to date, so feel free to ask any questions as I will try to update this forum as much as possible as the car will be back in the garage early next week and will be getting some paint on the interior.
Nice. I don’t understand one thing though. The benefits of a forward facing plenum are immensely overshadowed by the pitfalls of one critical part of questionable quality/integrity.... And not fully knowing the characteristics of the plenum the data won’t necessarily be applicable for a proper unit that happens to look similar.... (Unless the design, inside and out, is near on identical, your ECU has vastly improved capabilities and you have the capacity to monitor things like individual cylinder exhaust gas temps and stuff....
Check out HP Academy on You Tube for virtually all the advice you could need. NZ is miles (kilometres... lol) ahead of 90% of other tuners.
Strong, balanced and easy breathing engine is certainly important but not nearly half as much as allowing the car to function without fighting itself, as much as you can possibly achieve. Suspension geometry, weight distribution, aero which functions just as much as cooling performance enhancers, etc etc. you seem like you know the drill well enough and I don’t wanna come across wrong, the wanna be plenum threw me is all.
No disrespect but to me is a bit like seeing young ‘motoring enthusiast’ put 22” anchors bought from the local tyre shop when they fitted 245/10-15 rubber on their sports car and think the CHOo, Choo, cho, ch noise sounds good and is what well sorted cars should sound like. Cause that’s what everyone else says is the sound your after.
Cant wait till the states catches up with the jdm game. There be a resurgence of R&D and parts again.
To finish first, first u gotta.......

Matching fromts are S2 R33 GTSt.
Not a bad seat actually if you mainly driving on street and have passengers who are larger and/or don’t enjoy being in a sports/racing seat for no particular reason. (Such as the Missus...)
Ive ever only owned my R33 so I have no idea about the R32/R34 particulars. But main thing is rails/seat mounts are compatible. My 02 R34 GTR replica seats were a bit different in the seat mounting and needed different rails (supplied) or adapters. Could have only been an issue because they are replicas but it showed how important it was... I wanted to retain factory rails and stuff but getting seat mounted properly with adapters was proving to be such a bastard that I ended up using the rails they came with. (Was nearly 10yrs ago so there probably far more options now but something to be aware of.)

Assuming you’ve checked the obvious stuff?
Fuses, relays, earths, battery, connectors.... -
How much for key holder?

The RB26 block still available?

Was worth a shot, have been looking for a set of ssrs for ages now.
Does any one know of any;
ssr integral gt1s or
Avs model 5s??
After 18*8 +32& 18*9/9.5 +38 (or there abouts with offsets)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PICS
you still got the wiring harness??

Selling the complete set with tyres. Wheels are off R33 GTST and in near perfect condition, the front rims hold 235/35/18 and the rear 265/30/18. The rear tyres are brand new (NEXEN N3000) and the front are about 40% but they are Yokohama Advan Neova which as you probably already know are awsome tires.If interested just make me an offer.
Cheers guys and girls.
do u still have these?
z32 AFM ohms resistance testing (multimeter)

I have a suspect 'Hitachi' unit, the readings where a mix of exactly what you recorded for your genuine Z32's and one which was more in line with the fake Z32's, abiet with a slightly larger margin of variation. My multimeter batteries were juuust hanging in there so I wouldn't bank on the readings though.
I think I'll pass on it tho (until I have better information) and just wear the ridiculous price for a verified unit... (Or make the leap to MAP and modern ecu, as the plenum, cooler, piping is being changed anyway. Yet I still can't bring myself to pay the asking price for a Bosh Z32 hahaa.)
