hey all,

I just sold up the last of my cars and am now in the market for a new car, however I can't decide between a few different ones and I am trying to organise a ride in each so I can determine which I prefer and hopefully narrow down the choice. So is there anyone on here that wouldn't mind taking me for a ride in a fairly stock r32 gtr and a fairly stock r33 gtr ??

I can be some-what difficult to meet up with due to work commitments but I am more than willing to go out of my way (and not put you out too much)....if someone could accomodate me in this, that would be great.

thanks....

Call it cautious. Especially after last weeks news story of that perp who organised a test drive via the internet and tryed on a carjack. Shame the perp couldn't drive a manual and got nabbed. Bahaha

Suggest you try Evo in Fyshwick and see what they have in stock if you dont get a response on here. It's been a fair while since you posted on SAU.

Not saying anything isnt on the up n up and maybe folk will volunteer.

Be cautious about place n time. Take a license b4 you show the keys. Wouldn't want a copy cat crime.

No offense meant.

I understand that fully, I am prolly one of the most trustworthy people your gonna find around, and as you said I am happy to give any form of ID that the person wants to see. I have had one offer from a bloke, but he is only available on friday nights which is a bit difficult for me atm. If anyone knows psymon you can ask him about me if your a bit cautious, he has known me for years.

And the only reason that I haven't posted on here for a while is that I don't own a skyline nor have I, hence don't have alot of comments to make in relation to the cars. All of my posts I think you will find have been in the for sale section, in relation to buying one.

Just try get a test drive in a R32 GTR, engine and power wise they are almost identical. The R33 was a fraction slower along the Qtr Mile due to a slightly heavier curb weight but after some minor mods it wont matter. In the end it comes down to which one tickles your tatsebuds. The R32 is more raw and racer like while the R33 is more roomier and refined, not to say both cant look incredibly mean. Just becareful if you go down the path of an R32 as alot of them have been thrashed and had a hard life, repairs can put a big hole in the bank account.

Good Luck

However me on the other hand.....lollerskates.

32GTR FTW!!!!!

I posted a thread a while ago asking if anyone will trust me with their 32GTR as I've never driven one and will be buying one and didn't get a response. I'm not perfect but I'm known as well as anyone here and no-one would let me.

*wipes awat a tear*

On a completely random note I just got my new black suede bride buckets today! only took them 9 months to arrive.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
