Thats tripped out fella, Red n white badges, dual air bags.........but 4 stud WTF. I'd be checking the diamiter of the front and rear rotors to check for size, If all good there then i guess it's just a headF#$@ to get decent wheels later on! BUT if smaller, I'd be swapping over to at least original 33 rotors, OR posibly an upgrade(for future)

I think you will find that those wheels are an instant defect that can only be rectified by putting 5 stud hub in (The factory did this for a reason)

Get the details checked out (use the VIN) and then see the car yard you purchased it from as they are required to sell the car in a roadworthy condition. (even if they were not aware of the problem)

from the angle that the interior pic is taken, it doesnt look like you have the factory boost gauge. something smells fishy to me. other then that, very clean ride you got there. thumbs up!

guy, why is it that his wheels are regarded as a defect?

i put the wheels on my self, went straight from the car yard two the wheel shop, the car yard had the car inspected by regency before it was sold, they never said anything, or done anything about it been 4 studd turbo.

Nissan decided to go for 5 stud and larger brakes with the more powerful turbo engine (which makes sense), without an engineer to prove those wheels (4 stud) and smaller brakes are equal to, or exceed Nissan specifications they consider it a defect. They are not prepared to approve it themselves (because that would require them to take responsibility if something went wrong) and from the common sense point of view why would you want smaller brakes on a more powerful car. Check the forums but I doubt anyone o here is advocating a change to non-turbo brakes to reduce weight (yet they sometimes go to extreme measures and expense to save 1 or 2 Kg - think carbon fibre Vs Fibreglass bonnets)

Have a chat with regency (but dont give them any personal details) to confirm this, then take it back to the dealer and insist they rectify it for you. (thats what warranty is for. - You may even be able to get them to install a boost guage (aftermarket would be cheaper) so that you can ensure the engine isnt overboosting and reduce the risk of an engine replacement under warrantee.

PS - Nice looking car and welcome to SAU

I'm not trying to have a go at you or your car, but if a dealers warrantee will fix it for you (free of charge) why not use it. If nothing else its an upgrade you wont have to do later.

PS - why would the yard have the car inspected by Regency, if it was complied locally surly the workshop covers that, and if it was complied interstate all they require is a VIN check.

Funny you wrote this, seeming that i found out from an insurance company that my rear rotors were lancer ones 'apparently' rather than the actual 32 gts-t ones! So i would definetely get that checked. My dad test drove the car and realised the heavy duty clutch was gone, so that got done. Get it done quick if the car is under warranty. But the rear rotors i would question, as mine from the same place were way too small.

Warranty is a great thing :)

nah your spot on, gonna ring them today, yer the dude told me they get there cars checked over by regency, and a 100 point check from there mechanic just to make sure there 100%, full of crap, like you said the they put bigger brakes on the turbos for a reason. so will defeintly inquire about it. im preety pissed as it is if i have just paid this much for a mock up turbo not a genuine.

Does the GT badge have a blue backgroud or a red background?

How to tell a Turbo from Non turbo from the outside..... on the R33 this is,

Turbo

- 5 Stud

- GT Badge has a red background

- Sticker on rear reads GTS25T

Non-Turbo

- 4 Stud

- GT Badge has a blue backgroud

- Sticker on rear reads GTS25

hey guys speaking of badges is that the case for 32's aswell because mines got metal GT badges on guards and are all silver, no colours at all! <_<

Can anyone with a 32 confirm this? :w00t:

f$@& im pissed just spoke to regency, no help at all, theres nothing on there computers about the car ever been put in for a engine transplant, engine matches up all ok with the body as standard never mod, i rang two importers both said they have never ever seen a gts-t wth 4 studd, said it must be a non turbo converted, and said yer probley wouldnt be legal, i rang the caryard, and they said its defeintly a genuine gts-t they think some one has swaped brakes over. there happy to upgrade the brakes, but i said what about the rims just put 1800 of rims and tyres, there gonna ring the tyre place and see if they can do a deal there.

just dont know what to think, theres no trace from regency about it been modified or anything, has all the features off a gts-t badges, standad twin airbags, unless the brakes have been swaped before traded in. i have only had it for 5 days now and im really happy with the car ( shit if it had a nice wet hole i wouldnt even need to go in side the house) haha , so if there gonna uprade the brakes and fix the rims up, might just leave it at that, and stop thinking about it.

Yeh sweet, they had to fix it up for you, and it's good they are willing to do it and sort something out with your wheels, Like you said just put it in te back of your head mate. But like Duc said NO stock boost gauge.....Interesting!

nah it had a speco boost gauge with turbo smart manual boost adjuster, which i removed for me eboost guage.

Does it have a boost gauge in the dash? You still haven't answered that.

One posibility is for some bizzaro reason, they changes the hubs and brakes to the non turbo ones. Maybe the car was in a accident in the past and the owner only had the money to do a dodgy job and did that.

You should post up your vin number so someone on here can FAST it for you.

And welcome aboard. The car does look good.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
