Hello fellow rb enthusiasts,

I just purchased my very first skyline... a 1994 r32 GTR...

skyline.jpg

She's currently sporting Hasemi Wheels (no idea what version), Hasemi bucket seat, HKS turbo timer, HKS boost controller, 5zigen catback, S.S. downpipe, earl's s.s. braided brake lines, unknown aftermarket steering wheel... maybe a few other goodies that I haven't discovered yet...

Oh yeah by the way... I live in the US....

I'm looking for a new catback... must be fully stainless steel or titanium.... I was wondering what you guys recommended as far as quality goes... I've been looking at Apexi GT spec (the huge catback).....

I was also curious where i could find some Vspec brembo brakes for the front and back...

Also looking into replacing the catalytic converter with a 3" test pipe... curious to know if the factory O2 sensor would be affected if it was fitted into a test pipe

Basically any other words of wisdom you can offer and where to begin upgrading the car.... this is going to be a Street car with occasional track usage... I've searched and I'm still searching as we speak... I'd just like to introduce myself and my car and say it's a pleasure to join you guys and I'll be driving a skyline for the rest of my life!

CHeers

Andrew

Niice one andrew

i saw a 34gtr last time i was in cali. but never seen another gtr while i was there at all!

do u have to get that converted to left hand drive at all? or is this car not to be street regestered??

so your after a driveable gtr which will smash almost everything at the track??

the n1 turbos off the 34gtr are usually a good upgrade, from what has been said on here there are two different types.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...pic=105432&st=0 that thread should give you some insight on that front.

as for the rest of it. whats your budget like? what do you want to throw at this car?

do you want to open the engine up for pistons etc etc?

very very nice mate. also have GTR in aus. i understand u gotta kill a man to get a GTR in the US.. congrats.. blwo the socks off them chevs and mustangs.

just wondering.. what ECU should i use on my RB26DETT i want to deal away with AFM's an d run a single turbo.? any ideas?

Hi Andrew

The O2 sensors are actually fitted to the dump pipes and the sensor attached near the catalytic converter is actually an exhaust temp sensor. It doesn't seem to be terribly useful though as it only indicates "HOT" (indicated by red dash light like the e-brake) or "OK" (no light).

A lot of guys cut it off or a little tidier way would be to just tuck it into the chassis rail and tape it in. Alternatively, you could tap a thread into your test pipe and refit the sensor?

:unsure:

the power fc d-jetro? i think its spelt. that runs without afm,

or hks fcon but not many people here to tune that.

other locally ones i would guess autronic etc etc. but i dont know anything about them

Very nice car mate!!

if i can give some advice dont go near a track day unless you have a modified sump or some sort of upgrade to lubrication system, especially if you are on semi slicks or modifed power.

it will only end in a dead engine if you do.

cheers Russ

any more pics hehe

yes power FC de jetro. u have to run an extra map sensor off cyl 3-4

ive found one with sensor for $1400 but problem is not many shops in aust tune it well.. its a big ask. looking at 2000 tunned and running.

R32s have bad oil management!.. its sad.. a sump baffle will fix it.. an oil cooler with remote filter will help fix it to. have more oil 7.5L upwards and ur winning the war against ur golden syrup slopping around.

  • 1 month later...
just wondering zinkrb250 do many people in the states knw wat ur godzilla is? hope the cops dont.

think bout punching ur cat out.. im going to.

wher did ur bonnet grill go? and u get a Vspec..? (vspec frnt bar)

Nahh not a lot of people know what it is... the tuner people know... but not the ordinary joes ... all they see is me on the wrong side of the car and have to look twice to make sure that's what they saw.. I've passed plenty of cops so far and no problems with them yet...

Right now i'm looking into getting a 3.5 or 4" catback and hopefully find a test pipe that is bigger than 3"

I've got the bonnet grill... it just wasn't in place when the pictures were taken...

And about the vspec i'm pretty sure it is not a vspec....reason being is because it doesn't have the brembo brakes

So far i've found the car has a little lip on the hood (just above the bonnet grill)... a boot lip on the trunk... no emblems except for GTR on the back and the GT on the fenders... it's got an oil cooler (which i don't think came factory)... earl's stainless steel brake lines, some unknown brand of stainless steel front pipes, an unknown 5zigen catback, an unknown aftermarket steering wheel, hasemi bucket seat, it had hasemi wheels until i swapped those for my 17x9 5zigen fno1rc (bronze), it's got an HKS panel filter, a blitz boost gauge, hks turbo timer, hks boost controller, apexi n1 coilovers, nismo A arms i think... i don't know i was under it and found a bracket that said nismo located on both of the front wheel wells, it had nismo spark plugs until i changed them out cause it was stuttering at higher boost levels... so far that's all i can think of off of the top of my head

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
