G'day

Mate of mine took me for a strap in his R32 GTS-T tonight and it has some serious issues. I am not an expert on the Nissan engines but when this thing hit 4 grand it felt terrible. It has a pod filter, exhaust and blow off valve, the turbo was boosting somewhat (as it would vent via the blow off valve) but the car went nowhere. It also keeps displaying a warning light on the dash, we are pretty sure it might be an exhaust gas temp warning light? looks to be roughly 2nd warning light in from the right. light will also randomly show at idle, always flashes under load.

is the sensor stuffed causing ECU to pull fuel/retard timing under boost, or does it sound like the turbo is stuffed? History of car is unknown, its a recent import

many thanks

people seem to think that there might be a leak in the boost controller installation because its only happened ever since it was installed.

might sound confusing but last night i took for a spin and wen i flat foot it from the start it shows full boost to .7bar then drops 2 .6bar and it climbs in the rev range slow (1st and 2nd gear)

but if i was 2 put my foot down 3 quarters of the way until it hits 5000rpm then flat foot it, it runs perfect.

so in other words in only happens wen my foot is all the way dwn startin from 3500rpm.

confusing yeah lol i dont know whats happening....

regarding my mates car, its like its not boosting at all. It feels terribly slow. My EL XR6 would whip it

i suppose all he can do really is get a new cat and take it to someone who knows what to look for. This car has definately been messed with, there is evidence of an old boost controller being installed (no longer there) and we basically have no idea where to start.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
