Out of the 32 GTR, 33GTR and 34GT T with no expense a problem which would create the best car for track and occasional drag.

no expense? gtr will be quickest except maybe for drag. Ultimately the 4wd traction is worth more than the weight penalty.

But in the real world with real budgets its not hard to get a gtst to keep up with a gtr, cheaper to get power out of a gtst and it is lighter in the first place. They have the same suspension setups/potential and can run nice big tyres for traction

Can you strip the car? How far can you go. Is it to be a daily driver?

I would say R32 GTR. Cheapest. Has all the ticks for the building blocks of a good car.

Strip as much weight out of it as possible. Carbon doors, keep alloy bonnet and guards. Throw a strong RB26 in there with a solid 380awkws from something like KHS 2530s running 1.5bar. Throw a strong 5spd with close ratios in it. Also beef up the transfer case

Then wire up the R33 ATTESSA system/sensors/computer so that the thing has a little more smarts and controls the AWD system a bit better.

Then throw some nice suspension at it, with some nice 355mm brakes on the front. That is the shopping list i have for an R32 GTR, but simply cant afford. It woudl cost a small fortune. But would run 10 secon qtr miles and if driven well would be a very quick track car. And if you keep the aircon and basic interior, and colour code all the carbon could still be used reasonable day to day as a road car.

So do you think that a GTST/ GTT could be made faster than a GTR for the drag strip? interested really because some of the faster cars wol;d have very little pressure on the front wheels anyway wouldn't they?

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      R34 Plug Identification

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.

      Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
