Well it is all happening!

We only have 6 odd weeks to have the car reliable, guaranteed we are coming back with a blown this or that... but also the thirst for a somewhat competitive car in 2009 - you gotta start somewhere!

Duncan - our only legal option is to run the ceramic turbos is it not - or have them rebuilt with a steel wheel CHRA? Someone mentioned earlier that to swap to N1 we would need to be entering the car as N1 spec and actually have an.. N1.

Can't wait to get over there!

You DON'T actually have to have a genuine N1, just enter it as such. But, you need to have all genuine N1 bits on there, such as factory oil cooler, N1 spec turbos etc. I reckon it'd be worth the exercise just to have that little bit of extra reliability up your sleeve.

Keep in mind that technically you cannot run a GTR with so much as an oil cooler if it wasn't on their from factory. Hence nearly everyone runs as N1 spec. :O

Btw, great to have another Skyline there :D

lol you forgot a very important word 2nd in that sentance "dont"

but you are right about the trade off. the n1 turbos are too big, but 16" wheels are too small. lots of compromises.

Is an N1 oil pump required?

I am thinking the higher flow is more likely to cause oil issues without any internal engine mods to oiling for the head. We are trying to avoid cracking open the motor at this stage.

Also just trying to get our hands on some N1 "lagmasters" - one guy looks to have the R34 N1 dumps as well which could be a good bonus - you guys know of any issues fitting these in the 32 with the standard front pipe positions?

Oh and if anyone has an N1 oil cooler, power steering cooler or water pump we are in the market BIG TIME!

well strictly yes, if you run in n1 spec you can't pick which bits you want. but the n1 pump flows less not more than a standard pump. also targa seemed to be easier on the motor than circuit racing you are not doing as much sustained high rev stuff (yes on the big straights, but there is a lot of mid rev tight stuff too)

re the 34 n1 dumps, they of course are also not legal on a 32. I am pretty confident they would bolt straight on though, only difference would be the rear dump has an exhaust gas temp sensor fitting.

i had to get my 32 n1 turbs from nissan on order from japan. no-one else was mad enough to want a set of them I guess :( the 34 n1s are a much better unit (ball bearing v 270o thrust bearing) but not legal

having said all that, I didn't notice any eligibility scruitineering last year at all. Another GTR we went through with clearly had aftermarket injectors for example.

Sweet re: oil pump - Steve already bought one! I do now remember hearing that they flowed less - thanks.

How much were the R32 N1's and how long did they take to get here? Edit: spose i should just get on the phone to nissan eh!!

We are looking at the G4 Racing AP copies - just hoping they will fit under 17x8 / 17x9 wheels

Ben you mentioned being able to run 18x9 under the option rule - what does this entail? Couldn't find it mentioned in the regs.

Stu Benson (tech reg guy for Targa) has told me that cars are alowed to run wheels that were option parts. The R32 GT-R had 17x9, and 18x9 wheels as an option from the factory. R33's had 18x10 optional wheels from the factory. The old CAMS regs had the option rule in there somewhere. Best bet is to email Stu.

Just found the regs. 301.9 http://www.targa.com.au/Competitors/Regula...icalGeneral.pdf dosn't say anything about wheels though?

Hi

Re the options on wheels, I read the new regs and it does not say you can have option wheels so I am not sure you can.

The other thing to remember is that if you run an option you need to be able to produce proof as per the regs.

That proof must be in one of the formats defined in the regs.

Just my thoughts, happy to see the rules that say otherwise.

wheel options were removed in error from the regs, but will be re-included via bulletin shortly. sorry for the confusion.

paul - further to your email, lee also took the turbos off my old GTR and replaced them with something else. i doubt he'd be after big dollars for them. they made 260kw on 16psi and 95ron with a 3.5" exhaust with a very very mild tune.

Hey whats the deal with exhaust regs?

Had a chat with Ben @ Racepace and he mentioned we may be limited to a 3" exhaust maximum on the GTR? Ouch...

Stuart - those turbos were genuine N1's?

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
