Hi all,

Inquiring if any one can help out with a few questions about Nismo edition Skyline's?

I have a 2001 ER34 GTT Nismo Bay side blue that I got a company in Sydney to import over from Japan for me about 4 years ago, now 36000k on the clock. I only drive her about once a week if that due to a busy working lifestyle, but now things have slowed down due to the economy so have I! and so will the money lol. Got mates with all tuning and testing tools for what ever upgrades I want to do, but we would like to know a few things before we start boosting her up or changing any parts. We tested the boost @ 11 Psi and the thing has never been tampered with, no boost controller she is all stock apart from the HPI stainless steel bell-mouth Dump, HPI Stainless dual front pipe, X-Force-3" high flow cat converter, Kakimoto 06&R cat back exhaust system

Questions

Did Nissan produce a factory GTT Nismo?

If so! Dose anyone know spec’s on the turbo/engine?

Do they have steel turbines or ceramic?

Factory Boost Psi?

Engine components/forged pistons?

doubt it

get your vin number up or pm it so someone so they can fast it for you . do you know that you can re arrange the factory pipes to raise the boost or someone could have drilled out the restrictor and it will run 12 psi and look completlly stock

We have had a good look over it and it has not been messed with. arranging the pipes will only give you 1/2 Pis lift, we look into that one at the start.

I actually remember this car when it was first advertised, funnily enough.

Given that it was a very late build (January '02) I suspect that Nissan did with the R34 what they did with many R33s - built some run-out specials using Nismo parts in order to clear out the last of the stock. Following this theory, I suspect you'll find any Nismo parts on the car were cosmetic rather than performance-enhancing.

Cool car though, and very rare just as it is.

Hey buddy, I've got a really late 2001 Model series 2 supposedly "Nismo" Bayside Blue GTT aswell, but from what i know there is no such thing as a 'Nismo GTT'. All series 2 GT-t's do come with steel wheel turbines unlike series 1 er34's which have nylon compressor wheels. There's not much info about Series 2 NEO RB25det's and their steel wheel turbos, but i've driven three stock ones and they all seem to hit just under a bar of boost.

These series 2 GT-T's also have more torque due to the extra boost.

Series 2: 37.0 kg*m (362.85 N*m) / 3200 rpm

Series 1: 35.0 kg*m (343.23 N*m) / 3200 rpm

Sweet thanks for the info, So do we know if they have a steel wheel turbine?

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
