Sorry to dig up an old thread.

The pic above, will that be enough to provide decent cooling using the factory ducts and the deflectors mounted to the lower arms?

I've got the front bumper off my R32 GT-R at the moment, doing some mods and was wondering whether anyone cuts through the inner guard to provide more airflow into the wheel well using the two horizontal slots that are either side of the main intake opening on the front bumper?

I'm sure I've seen at least one fast R33 GT-R at the track use this method (used plastic mesh similar to what you put over a gutter to keep leaves out etc to go over the hole).

I've attached a pic showing where I am talking about. I tried searching the forum but found minimal info about this type of thing. I'm presuming no one really does it because it's not worth it?

Thanks mate, I've got the undertray ducts and have recently ordered deflectors for the arms. Looking forward to your solution! :D

Did you order Nissan deflectors or the ones from Unique Autosports?

It shouldn't be too hard to bash something together with aluminium plate & strap it onto the castor rod/LCA?

I cannot for the life of me remember if these ones are stock or aftermarket. The appear to have a couple of holes to use where the castor rod meets the LCA.

Wow this thread is old! since then I've bought a set of the genuine nissan caster rod reflectors, because I am limited to standard parts.

The ones that UAS make and similar are cheaper and better than the nissan ones.

Yeah sorry for that, it was either make a new thread or continue on with something that was kind of related to what I was after :D

DJR81, I haven't received them yet, will take pics and post them up once they arrive and are fitted.

absolutely no problems, I love when someone searches and looks at what was said before instead of starting from scratch every time.

It was actually from this thread years ago that I found out that the caster rod deflectors are standard (n1) and so they are legal for me to run on the race car. I ordered them about a year ago out of japan (very hard to find and possibly nil stock with nissan now) and put them on. Can't really tell if they made a difference as I changed multiple things at the same time.

But locally made ones are larger and cheaper anyway.

the ones you pictured are the nismo ones for R32 GTR. they were fibreglass or FRP maybe, and were about triple the size of the stock ones. the stock R32 ones were rubber and are in that parts diagram posted above. I think the stock castor rod deflector ones were only on nismo 32s, v specs and v spec IIs, and N1s. but all cars had the ducts under the bar that bolt to the front lip holes.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
