Ah, no it's not.

What you have there is probably from an R30 Skyline (or perhaps 280ZX). R32 GTR resistor packs use a grey semi-oval connector plug and don't have a black rubber boot over the plug. OTOH, R30 Skyline resistor packs look exactly like what is shown in your photos, although the number of wires doesn't look right but that might just be the way the photo is taken.

As far as I'm aware R33 GTR resistor pack is identical to R32 type.

In any event, it will do the same job.

it looks like that thingy in the engine bay of my r32, on the n/s strut tower. my gtr resistor pack u can see the actualy white resistors from the side of it.

The body looks like the R32 GTR type, but the connector is wrong.

BTW, I own an R32 GTR and have a couple of R30 resistor packs on the workbench in my garage.........

Cheers for the info everyone...

I have found some pics of an MR30 pack and two GTR packs...

MR30

This looks alot like it but the plug has too many wires

GTR

Looks totally different...

Another GTR but this one has the same black number code as the one I'm looking at buying...Case slightly different

Does anyone know if the numbers on the pack itself can be used to identify which car it may have come from?

This looks alot like it but the plug has too many wires

Somethings not right with the one you've been offered if it doesn't have 7 wires. For a 6 cyl car there has to be 7 wires:

1 for battery connection (in the case of an R30 resistor pack that's the red wire on the loom connector)

1 wire for the power supply to each injector, 6 in total (those are the yellow wires, but notice each has a different colour stripe).

There were some 4 cyl Nissans that used L-Jetronic injection and also had a resistor pack, but in that case there will be 5 wires.

Hey guys, this is just a confirmation question. Can you use the MR30 ballast resisitor with the GTR injectors and if so does anyone know what resistance these MR30 resistors are??

Thanks guys

I remember vaguely mine was 5.2 or 5.8 ohms. One of the two. :laugh:

Hey cubes what ECU do you run??? if the high impedance of the RB20 injectors is about 12ohm and the MR30 resistor is about 5.5ohm the final impedance would be still around 7 ohm, according to everones feedback is that the GTR injectors impedance should be around 2.5ohms. Is this suitable to run with a Apexi Power FC????

Any help would be great.

Also has anyone got the part number for the GTR ballast resistor???

The GTR resistor pack measures close to what the MR30 resistor pack does.

Form memory it was actually a little less. Low 5's vs high 5's for the MR30.

All ecu's have a little head room. Ignore the 'theoretical' calculation as its wrong.

Look at what the RX7 blokes run. 6ohm resistors, its what we run and almost every single other manufacture does also. I've never measured a Nissan, Honda or Mazda with a resistor pack greater than ~6ohms.

Theoretically according to calcs they should be running ~10ohm resistors but they dont.

EDIT: I've been running a PFC for 2 years.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
