all belts changed at 57,000 by Pitwork Japan with books.

car is modified to 170rwKW from within the first 6 months of ownership

car regularly sees redline and driven appreciately for the last 3 yrs.

services every 4000 k's with MOTUL :D

car still feels like the first day i test drive her.

Problems:

-rod bush at 85000k's; whiteline have poly ones for around $80 pair

(plus installations and alignment) i recommend the whiteline 'handling package'

while you are at it)

-car fitouts rattles after new springs went in from around 70,000k's

Bought my 1987 HR31 Coupe 6 months ago, had 37,000k's when purchased, now has 42900k's on it now. And YES the are geniune k's as been check out by different mechanics.

I'm the first owner in Australia and got a 3 year warranty on it. 4.5 out of 5 rating from auction in Japan.

some of you people aren't driving (read: enjoying) your cars as much as you should be! hahaha....

what are you guys doing , just leaving the car in the garage as a mantlepiece!??!!?

i've had to change HEAPS of things!!! its such a piece of shit!!!!

-swaybars

-camber bushes

-castor bushes

-intercooler

-exhaust

-front bar

-ecu (yup! even the standard computer had to go!!!)

-i even had to fit an oil cooler!!!

have bought but need to be installed:

-turbo

-clutch

-fuel pump

-z32 afm

-fuel regulator

as you can see, lots of things can go wrong with this car!!!!!!! :D :D :D

Mine reads 28,000 or thereabouts, not genuine though, it's really about the 68,000 mark... The reason for this was that the owner in Japan replaced the standard dash with a Nismo item and had the count reset or something. judging from the interior (only seen the car in person twice, otherwise im going off a heap of photos taken of it) the car is in EXCELLENT condition. There is next to no wear on any of the interior, such as steering wheel, handbrake, seats... it's all very tidy.

got mine in dec 02 with 77000 on it and now its up to 92000 and still running lovely (touch wood). Wen its time to let this one go its definitely a r34 gtr v-spec, cant really buy anything but a better skyline i reckon after you get one... they just hook you in i tells ya

Got my '98 33 last November with 96,000 on it, now up to about 120,000 with no worries. Only problem I've had is the coilovers that I put in after buying need rebuilding in the rear. Only problem is that it's impossible to find someone who can do it. The only reply I get is "WTF Kei Office??"

bought my 93' R32 GTS25 with 96000 kms on it. had it for about a year and half and now its just under 120000 kms. When I first bought it, tail shaft Centre bearing and one fuel injector had to be replaced. Bushes were changed at around 110k kms. Now, the car is misfiring when both idling and driving (been happening since around 112000 kms) and when this does happen, he car tends to shake. Is it the spark plygs that need changing? Actually, does any1 know what this exactly is?

i got mine in sept last year with about 138,000k's on it and now its got 171,000k's on it..

changed waterpump, gearbox ( auto to manual ), shocks, springs, other than that its been pretty good... the front cv's need replacing now so thats the next thing.

    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
