Hey all,

just thought I would do the righty, new to this forum but not to forums as I am an active member of www.perthstreetbikes.com.

I have just purchased by first skyline, a 1997 series 3 GTR. It was purchased at auction through Danny at Imports 101 (Thanks Mate) on Saturday so will be here in month or so. Cannot wait to get my hands on it, genuine auction grade 4.5 with only one mark on the front lower lip which will 'buff right out' or maybe need a bit of paint but meh, the rest of the car is spotless and straight. One owner with 59,000 klicks.

A few pics....

It has some nice extras already (Tein suspension, Kakimoto exhaust, apexi intake etc) but coming out of a 430rwkw supercharged thunder ute (I know a holden, but hey I have finally seen the light), previously owning a 12 second Sti and currently riding a 07 R1, I just knew that a basically stock GTR was just not going to keep me satisfied...................

so I went shopping and have the following waiting to be installed:

HKS Adjustable Fuel Pressure RegulatorSard 700 cc injectors HKS fuel pumpHKS extension kitHKS EVCHKS GT-SS turbo kitTomei Exhaust ManifoldTomei Pon Cam and pulley set (type B - 260 i/260 e).Tomei timing beltPower FC with hand controller,

Hopefully this lot should get her moving along quite nicely and put a grin on my face.

Ill post up some new pics when it arrives as well as a dyno sheet and then hopefully come out on a cruise to meet some of you lot.

Just one question, who do you lot recommend as good PFC tuners....?

Cheers

Simon

ooooh Series 3! Nice! :D

Also, nice choice of mods too :rofl:

Best bet is to go to an SAU meet local to you and have a chat to the guys there, see who they use... There is a WA section but you probably already know that...

PFCs are great in the fact that nearly anyone can tune them, there are a few that excel in this area, but there are many that are more then capable :)

Also, WELCOME! :) Great choice of car!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
