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.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
