Shit guys don't get too emotional about it....let the kids have their fun.

Having said that, I would hate to think there are heaps of idiots driving around thinking they have beaten a genuine GTR. So maybe it's a fair call.

The thing is, a GL Lancer IS a riced up piece of shit! If they at least turbo it and shove some bigger brakes (including discs on rear) on then it would be at least semi-respectable (I have seen some like this), but it still has crappy FWD.

I agree with most on this thread......kit & guards are okay but don't badge it unless it is the real thing!!!

To throw a complete spanner in the works does anyone know about the purple 'Gracer' R33 GTR (not sure which tuning company uses it but is used in a few ads)?? Apparently it started life as a R33 Gtst and the ower completely stripped it and rebuilt it as a GTR using all the original gear - guards/kit/engine/interior etc etc. Who is going to deny the owner the right to call it a GTR after all that work??!!!!

Nicely spotted there 2fardown! :rolleyes:

I think GTR bodykits on GTST's looks great, but I always think its incredibly try hard, and disrespectful to real GTR's.. it also drags down the opinion, looks and 'rarity' of the real gtr's roaming the roads.

Every second GTST has a GTR kit.. If I had a GTST and was not happy with how it looks, I'd get a unique kit, not a GTR copy so I could look like every other skyline on the road.

When I see a skyline drive past heres my opinion..

GTST with no kit, but big fmic, performance mods etc.. cool.

GTR kits on GTST - a bit lame

GTR kits with GTR badging on GTST - super lame! throw a brick..

GTR.. omfg that is teh shit

Dan, that's ok, there's no harm in putting badges off a car that's slower than the one you're driving :rolleyes:

When the V8 badges off my Commodore were taken, I immediately bought replacements. But then thought "what's the point? who cares if it's a V8 or not and they'll probably just get stolen again anyway" so I never put them back on.

On a totally unrelated note, I now have a V8 PC ;)

mmm, gracer....its owned by Advan performance in silverwater.

And I can assure you that all those guards, badges and running gear don't make much difference, my car was over 2 sec quicker when we were down at Wakefield Park.

I used to have a 1990 GTS-t Type M, and I also did the GTR front clip swap it due to the T's front clip being very unsightly. It looked sweet but I did leave the rear badge saying GTS-t. It was a GTS-t and thier was no reason to put the badge of a GTR on it. Besides it only had the RB20DET in it.

Now if I did the 26 swap which alot of people here in Japan do, then .... hmmm... naw I would still leave the GTS-t badge on it...hehe!

Now I have a real GTR .....with many problems of course!!!

ive bought a nice r32 gts-t yellow with gt-r front bar and rear wing and the guy at the car yard try to tell me to put on a gt-r badge say it would look sik so i turn around and say ur kiddin right !! anyway i think that gt-r badges should only be on real gt-rs as i got a few mate who are lucky enough to own them and seein the money they pour into them would just be a sin as for the kit on my car i got it like that and i think it looks nice but for me NO GT-R badge will ever touch the body of my car as long as i own it and im the 1st to admit its not a gt-r when asked if it is

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
