Long time owner & reader finally registerred with SAU

Reside in the "Shire" suburbs in southern Sydney

Currently own a Genuine 1994 R32 GTR V Spec II with 30k - have owned the car nearly 10 years and spent way too much - is truly an awesome car and the dyno card puts a fat smile on my face

Love it dearly but think it's time for a change - problem is every time I take it for a drive I change my mind......

weird... I think someone was telling me about your car just days ago!

someone local with an R32 GTR that has rediculously low K's that's basically just stored and hardly ever driven.

Got any pics of it? And what does it make on the dyno? :(

And welcome!

thanks for the welcome

apols 4 the delay as was at eastern creek with tony wedlocks 2j based aurion - some awesome cars but a poor event for tony with mechanical failure

yeah my car's been around the shire a while & has a genuine 31km - less than 1500kn in the last 4 years as have been focused on replacing / refurbing & generally cleaning the car up

we've run a few dynos in order to get the on road tune better - last report was 450+ hp at the wheels on pump fuel & street tyres -is currently running a powerfc but also have a mines mod'd skyline ecu that the car came with -makes higher peak power & more aggressive acceleration but on road driveability is very rough - car has run higher numbers but i'm not a fan of torturing an engine, spending heaps more $ or buying vp/martini based fuels for what they charge

the car's been a labour of love for 5+ years & i've owned it nearly 10

am in the process of loading photos onto SAU however having tech problems so please be patient& keep an eye out

cheers

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      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 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.
