Ok GTR owners.

I have been contacted by a publishing company here in Japan (where I live and work)

They are now making a NEW GTR owners bible for release in Japan. These books normally do find their way overseas eventually as enthusiasts like us all generally try to get copies of these.

I don't normally post on the forums as I have no time to visit.

Now what the publishers want to do is show all Japan GTR owners what the overseas GTR owners are like and what do with our cars and how we tune them up.

So I will need full details on your car (Specs only, no need for personal details apart from what you want to be seen in the book)

+++++++++++++++++

Engine Mods

Suspension upgrades

Body work

How long have you had it for

what you use it for (street racing, track, drag, show, dust collector etc)

Your future plans for it

when did you get it

where do you live (only like Country and City is enough)

+++++++++++++++++

Photos

Any Magazine shots (if it has been featured in a mag)

Action shots (if you have been drag racing it etc)

any good shots for the book (basically what you would like to see or how the magazines have their photos done etc).

+++++++++++++++++

any high res photos are required and can be sent via compression methods of

win ZIP or Win RAR

due to the nature of the file size expected please use this websites service to get the data to me

www.yousendit.com

Email them to me at

[email protected]

If it is too large you may need to sign up or send in more than one small batch etc.

Name the file under your name or your email address so I can find your email details with the info to match the specs you send seperately.

DEADLINE is Tuesday next week the 12th so get cracking

ONCE IN A LIFETIME CHANCE

Time to show the Japanese what we can do back at home with these beasts!!

There is no promises in your car being printed as I will be collecting all emails and data form everyone and submitting it all to the publishers and they will choose from the best.

Any other questions please email me as I will not be checking my PM or this thread much due to my busy schedule.

Sincerely

Lorenzo

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
