yesterday on my way home from work.. i found myself next to an unusual R32...

rear end said GTS R with nismo in the top right corner and nissan on the other side.. on the bumper was some jap writing and he had what seemed like N1 skirts and rear pod with a not standard front bar.. although it didnt look like any after market bar ive seen..

Factory?? or what? anyone know of these models?

Haha you mean like this? This photo was taken at the Horsham car show in 2005. If you look closely at the boot it looks as if there has been a type b spoiler on there previously, which makes me think its a GTS.

think its meant to read GTS R32, but the placement of the divider didn't work in the owner's favour. you can tell its not a GTR from the front indicator and the trim on the back seat.

Spot on..... how do I know? Thats my old car!!

Its actually a 93 GTS-t type M with GTR front and boot wing. NO I didn't put any wanky badge on it tho!

There is no such thing in a 32 unless of course they were a GTR shell fitted with RB20 instead of 26?? Never heard of such a thing tho.

you can also tell by the rear guards having no pump compared to a GTR.

HOSTILE made up for driving a fake one by driving one of the hottest GTR's ive seen.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
