well here's my 2 cents, and i dont have ne where near the life experience u guys have as i am only 17, but ive heard lots of people say ur only young for a little while and u better make it enjoyable, but if i had a GTR ne model for my first or 2nd car i wouldnt be here right now talking to u guys, and i know that for a fact. I have a Non Turbo 33 and i have still managed to get myself crossed up a few times and its really chilled out my driving habits. I crashed my mums car as i had no experience didnt even have my licence and it had too much power (a Gen 3 statesman) and that thing still doesnt have newhere near the go a GTR will have. Dude buy something a little more sedate for ur first car and drive it round for at LEAST a year. Im 17 i know whats its like and i would do nething for a turbo but i know i wouldnt be able to resist the urge if i had one and id probably end up getting hurt or destroying the car.

I was just saying...

Ok guys, some people threw some abuse at me without understanding fully. I'll lay it out for them then.

Im Turning 18 next month, i think most people get pubes about 14 tard ?

I've been driving a Kia Rio around for a Year and before that a VN Commodore for 6 months.

The R32 will be my 3rd car.

Im getting an 89' GTR in 2004 so the 15 year old rule comes into play, and the insurance.... I have a stable job i can afford it.

have u done ne defence driving courses ? i suggest u do and take the car to the track as well so u know the limits, driving 2 cars does not give u a shitload of experience especially if its a commie and a rio! its cool u are getting a GTR just dont end up in a ditch or sumthing with it! as for insurance lucky u can afford it

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
