A few more questions about my GTR

[Ethan_R32]

Hi guys well with the addition of a new member to my family (my R32 GTR) Im after a few basic parts for it.

Firstly im after a turbo timer that does all the usual stuff and removes the 180k limiter too. Im not after something really extravagent like some of them are, just a fairly basic one that will keep the engine going, remove the limiter and thats about it I spose.

Ive seen the HKS type 1 turbo timer on Perfectrun.com.au for only $250, but do they remove the 180 limiter?? Any suggestions?

Im also after a fairly basic alarm/immobiliser for it too. Since I live in a really small country town, car thefts are VERY scarce, but Id rather have one when I leave it parked somewhere.

Any suggestions on this and prices?? Im after one preferably under $500.

My car still runs fairly rich. Even at idle at it sounds like theres a few tiny misfires and a bit of black stuff comes out when I rev it. It is also really rich up top.

I want to get it tuned one day, and I was thinking of a power fc + injectors + pump. But what about just remapping my ECU in the mean time? Will this make a fair difference with the richness?

And I also think my oil pressure gauge sender is dead, any suggestions where to get a new one and what type?

Thanks in advance.

Head on down this way mate. Stay with us again That way you can book into Tilbrooks & get Martin to retune your stock ECU ($400-500 max I think?).

You sure will notice an improvement in A/FR's. You'll gain power, improve the A/FR & he'll also be able to remove the 180km/h limiter. All via the stock R32 ECU! Martin/Tilbrook's do quite a few stock ECU retunes. They'll be able to fix the oil press' indication prob too.

Give me a ring in the arvo (6-7ish) if you like.

Any more ideas guys? What about an alarm and/or turbo timer?

if you're gonna get the ecu chipped, then i guess you may as well get a basic turbo timer. if your planning to get a power-fc, that too will remove the 180 limiter.

as for oil sender prob, i had that too.... just got an autometer electronic one.

remapping your ecu/tuning power-fc with the current setup will make a big difference (power, economy, etc).... trust me

as for alarms.... sorry cant help ya there... mine was already installed upon purchase so i had no say....

Why do you need a turbo timer? What's wrong with slowing up and coming off boost for a few minutes before arriving at where you're going?

And the turbo timer is totally unrelated to the 180 speed limiter.

As for an alarm, I got a Black Widow from Strathfield - I think it was around $150, but that might have been because it was an upgrade (previous one pooped itself after the car was off the road for 3 months). It does most things - auto immobilise, 4-point entry protection, battery-backup alarm, keyless entry.

Thanks guys.

Blind elk: the reason I want a turbo timer is the same reason nearly every other skyline owner does. Even if i do drive casually around, I still would like it to cool down a bit more than I can have time for. I just like to baby it a bit, as I just love the car.

Ula32: how much of a difference will I get with the ECU remapped? I already have 240rwkw, with stock intercooler, fuel etc. Will my injectors hold up to more power ok? It seems the injectors might have a bit more in them, as its running VERY rich at 240rwkw, so maybe 260 - 270rwkw?
