Hey guys,

New to the club but here is my history.

Bought R32 GTR in 2006, came with:

HKS 2530s, Seller didnt know and i didnt notice til 3 months later lol

Upgraded injectors

Twin plate ATS clutch

Trust front mount

ARC airbox.

HKS Boost controller

HKS Turbo Timer

Since then have added:

80mm AFM with pod filters

Apexi Power FC with hand controller

Aluminium radiator

Oil cooler and filter relocation kit

Relocated battery to back floor.( Dont have friends that are game enough to get in the car with me lol)

Alcon 4 piston front brakes

New head with Type B cams and stronger valve springs

HICAS locked up, and all plumbing etc removed

A/C removed and all pipework

N1 Water pump

Have had a run of bad luck though, Water pump died and cooked head, new head installed and 3 weeks later threw rod out side of block at the hairpin at Symmons.

Bought long motor to put in, decided to do a monstor build on that motor, ran out of time before the start of my car club season so purchased a complete but wrote off car, put the motor in with my brand new head and fully rebuilt turbos only to find a had an idle problem. Spent some time chasing that problem and now the oil pressure has dropped. Havent even pulled the motor out as im that annoyed lol.

Will continue building my monstor motor and will put that in bout xmas time, fingers crossed.

So yeah, atm i am twiddling my thumbs and getting some other projects out of the way, finishing my car trailers( Which i dont need anymore as i dont have a car to

tow around lol and gathering up some money to finish off the new motor.

So far for the new motor i have:

Chemically cleaned and bored block 87mm

Venolia pistons

Eagle rods with ARP Bolts

ARP main stud kit

ARP head stud kit

Sump baffle( Am thinking bout getting an enlarged sump though, something around 8 litres or so)

ACL bearings

Brand new 33 crank

Rebuilt head with stainless valves and Type B cams

Ross Tuffbond balancer

Adjustable Cam gears

Only need to get a bigger oil pump and get my turbos checked and get the whole lot balanced and screw the thing together and im laughing.

Anyways, will keep you all posted

Pointa

First motor= 11.84 1/4mile, 328 RWKW, 1min 3 at symmons

Guesty, drive harder lol

Yeah got 2 real cars, the 2 door torana is my baby, the 32 is just my bitch hahaha.

There is something a bit sentimental about 2 door LJ's, i think its got something to do with them beating GT falcons at bathurst, call them the underdog if you like :P

What day is the kart track day? Wouldnt mind going for a look but i got a fair bit on my plate atm, if i do go it will only be for a few hours,

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
