Yeah, mean put stock restrictor back in.

The oil cooler i have is a TRUST GREX unit.

And most importantly - no sorry no larger pics.

Will find one though :-)

Ok,

So how much boost does the R32 GTR N1 run with the restrictor in and how much does it run with the restrictor out?

All I know the R34 GTR N1's ran 1.2 Bar (17 PSI) from factory with restrictor in.

Are we talking similar readings with the R32 GTR N1's?

I assume you put it back in to preserve what it is..?

Please do find LARGER PIC of GTR butt cheek. :laugh:

Sorry no idea about the boost without restrictor.

I've only had the car dyno'd with an old HKS boost controller which was switched off and not working. It made 10psi and held it.

as for the blank plate instead of radio controlls, only the N1's and NISMO versions had them.

Wouldn't worry about trying to make one though, as Nissan Japan have them in stock.

Cheers

Yeah cool!

Ah yeah that's right, N1's had no radio, so no radio controls LOL!

Keep it and enjoy it, sounds like a nice unit. If you want to send something back to make money send a 240/260Z. They are nuts for them.

I think there is real interest at the moment for stockers, maybe there is some older money coming out.

Collectable 32s would be the N1's. Anything in dark blue. ADM's. Some of the crazy ones like the evolutions (theres one on here somewhere) and limited versions and to a lesser extent the Vspec2's.

FYI, there are 2 adms for sale. Both black. One has mods (silly boy) for $40k and the other is a stocker, very clean for $65k. Not a patch on their original asking price but still a very desirable car.

I have had an aussie delivered GTR for 7 years now. It only has 134,000km but I have been modding it as things wear out. So far suspension brakes, computer, boost controller, injectors and exhaust. They do need wider wheels so changed those as well. Have all original parts except injectors.

About to replace turbos as I don't want the ceramic ones to crap themselves one day (which is bound to happen given it is a 19 yo car).

Whilst non modded aussie delivered GTR's are probably prefferred, it would be hard to maintain with factory turbos, suspension etc.

P.S. Your burgundy one looks nice!

Brendan,

Your's is the ex Apexi (i think) drag car, correct?

Its very possible that they used an N1 as the base of the car. I'm purely guessing due to your wiper comment and from your pic i can see it has the N1 lights.

Can you check/remember if the last two letters in your Chassis # are "ZN" or "ZY"?

Thanks man. I was very lucky only having to replace the wheels for stockers when I bought mine. It has 95k with books, original sales slip and the leather GT-R owners folder and manual. If you are replacing items in preventative terms I would hang onto the originals. I think these cars are going to be worth a bomb in the years to come. How much did you pick yours up for? PM if you like.

This topic seems right up my alley. As most of you, i love R32 GT-Rs.

My vision of the ideal R32 GT-R would be:

- extremely clean

- replacement of various parts with new factory/nismo items (carpet, trim pieces etc)

- NISMO LMGT4's (or possibly TE's)

- adjustable coils

- new clutch

- N1 body styling

obviously a few aftermarket goodies and such..

but that would be my ideal 32

So a full NISMO body kit with a set of LMGT 4's / TE 37's.

Yeah, same here.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.

      iPad gauge cluster

      First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
