hey all,

first post here on sau although i've been a long time reader and learner. I have purchaced an r32 gtr 94' not v-spec. 77,xxx k's on the clock. its a beautiful machine there are just a few things that are bothering me. so if you have any past experiences or opinions i would love some help.

the 3 major problems are:

1st- i am getting error code 16 on my altessa ets ( lateral g sensor ) i pulled up the glove box, had a look at the unit its self the indicator is not displaying red so i am assuming the unit its self is fine. what else can it be. tried checking the harness terminals for 2.5v but multimeter is displaying "open line" what could this mean?

2nd - at times when shifting down gears the clutch will engage very early coming from 3rd to 2nd and make a slight grinding sound, i thought it could possibly be the throwout bearing but i am no mechanic and my opinion really counts for shit due to my ill understanding of how the clutch and transfer case work

3rd - the tachmeter will bounce all over the place sometimes displaying off the chart readings whilst maintaining normal revs.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know everyone is going to tell me to take it to a mechanic, which brings me to my next question. I live on the northside of brisbane and I'm looking for a reputable mechanic, not some junkie from east coast that will promise the world and deliver nothing. is there any body who specialises in 32gtr's? travel around bris is not an issue.

please if you need pics or anything please ask i would be more than happy to supply anything you need to make an assessment.

thanks sau.

Lewis

I've had the tacho problem. Apparently it's very common. I replaced it with a used one with lower KM's hehe cost $40 to install.

The ATTESSA problem will be related to the sensor "or its circuit". If the sensor appears to be intact, it would then be that the power supply to the sensor has been broken. Have you drill any holes, screwed any screws, recently?

The clutch problem might just be that you are a bit quick with the clutch release (pedal up) process. Try slowing it down a bit.

I have not drilled any holes personally, however there has been a turbo timer fitted. I believe the power to my clock has been used, could this in any way effect the g sensor or the attessa system. The problem only appears to occour when the car hasn't been driven for a while and cold. how can I locate the power supply and test it?

finally, is there a way i can repair my tacho without replacing the whole cluster?

thankyou to everyone who is helping out..

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
