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

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
