Hey everyone.

Well I finally picked up my car on Friday and yeah.....I'M HAPPY! :)

The car is a 1990 R32 GTS-T Type M, bone stock (which most likely means she was'nt abused by the kids in Japan :D ), 101K km's, original paint, NO RUST, mint frame and a very strong motor. When I test drove her at 3500rpm's in 2nd gear I punched it and it through me back in to my seat. At 6500rpm's she still wanted to keep going. I was super impressed.

Anyway here's a few pic's after I washed her up. The car still needs a good detail job but she cleaned up really nice. The writting on the windshield is no longer there now.

I'll be going for emission's next week I first wanted to give it a couple of tanks of good gas, bottle or injector and octane boost, oil change and some high rpm driving just to clean the engine out. She was sitting for a while so it was a good idea. As well I've reset the ecu and I'm doing new plugs and air filter.

Overall I'm just really happy and excited to get this project going.

Well take care.

Cheers B)

Thanks for the kind words man.

Actually no they are'nt hard to import, register or insure here. Our law states any car 15 years or older can be imported legally. I thought you guys were having a similar law institued, or is my info wrong?

If I am wrong, your all VERY lucky that any car made in any year can be imported. Yeah us Canucks are jealous :D .

it was like that, they cut that rule at the start of this year when the gov realised how many imports were coming in and thought it was taking away from the local car market. thats my understanding anyhow.

:lol: well hopefully the list won't grow anymore and you'll get your car VERY soon.

I'm really loving this car and it's funny how it still has'nt really sunk in yet that I own a Skyline. I mean I know it will but for now it's a really neat feeling. :rofl:

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
