hi everyone,

i have recently bought a skyline r32 gtr and the car is great. i really like it and everything but there are a couple of problems regarding the car that i would like to ask. any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. when i am cruising along normally, and accelerating a bit the gas just seems to cut off and the car isnt doing anything. the car kinda jerks a bit and then i step on some more gas, nothing happens and then it comes on. it happens rarely but i dunno what would be the problem.

2. the car has upgraded brembos on the front and they squeak heaps. i dunno if the pads are worn or is it got something to do with the materials that the brakes are made out of that causes this but i am unsure.

3. my driveway is heaps steep and everytime i go in and out of it my undercarriage gets scratched heaps and it hurts everytime this happens. i am afraid that it is causing grave damage to my car. is there anyway to prevent this?

thanks in advance to the help.

1. Develop a good relationship with an honest, reliable, knowledgeable tuner and remember the search

button is your friend

2. Probably the type of pads...no big woop. You can get pads to put behind the brake pads to kill that also

refer No1

3. Reverse up or go the 45 degree and keep your speed down....or move ;)

lol welcome to the world of skylines and lowered cars..

1. could be due to a multitude of problems.. searching is the best option as stated above.. that or take it to a mechanic if you really have no idea and demonstrate the problem to him..

2. check if there are still brake pads and that they havnt worn and dissapeared. if there still is brake pads visible it should be fine..

3. you're aware of the whole 45 degree angle exit right? U must have seen lowered cars do it before.. a handy tip.. your rear of the vehicle is in most cases higher up than your front.. so drive your car in head first... then reverse your car out of your driveway. It will save you from scrapping mostly..

helps me anyway.. gl and have fun :(

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?

      What Duncan said sounds right. Also, it looks like they only have the driver's mat. Not the rest. Because looking at the diagram: KG4911 is just the mat for the driver. KG4900 is the full set if I'm not mistaken and discontinued.   But, it looks like they may still have the full set for the manual S2. Might be worth checking for the other models as well as they seem slightly different. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/misc/G49 Man, I'm tempted.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
