Not sure if this is the right place to post this question...

I just bought a GTR 33 and on closer looks at it ive found on the A pillar, the ones holding the front window in...

Up the top about an inch from where the roof would start there is a crack right throught the paint on both sides. im not sure what it is from but both sides are identical...

Any ideas what would have caused it?

Anyone else have this problem or something???

i had exactly the same thing on a nissan patrol i put it down to rough off road driving . i have seen it on hi powered holden v8 monaros hq type caused by the body flexing under heavy load .

i had a friend who was a panel beater reweld and repaint nine on the patrol that fixed it for good

could also be the result of a bad repair job if the car has been in a prang and they have welded a new roof on:-(

either take it to a panelbeater or get a full vehicle inspection by state roads (http://www.stateroads.com.au/). A panelbeater will hopefully have a paint thickness gauge so they can tell which panels (if any) have been resprayed to cover previous damage. A state roads inspection is a 5 page written report and they will pick up almost everything.

the only way to know for sure is to get an expert to look at it.

      I'd be worried about having to parallel park a boat like that. Magnificent car though.

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
