My Non V-spec R34 has the nismo version 2 MDF and i can see the intake and exhaust temp.. Not too sure wheree the sensor is located tho...

Cheers.

Matt

There are temp sensors located in the drivers side of the intercooler core, and the dump pipe just before the front pipe flange. They only provide signals for the MFD and dont link into the ecu.

The nismo upgrade kits do come with extra sensors, too depending on what type/version. Like 2 bar reading map sensor, instead of 1.2bar.

Also, I'm going to add upgraded swaybars to my list :P.

Thanks! Got an e boost street, black box. Nice and compact.

Damn you Steve-o!! My R32 would of been mad fun on texi!

A couple of pics when I was parked at texi. Surprise upgrade visually is the nismo sideskirt extensions that help fatten car lol.

Mate of mine painted em for me after I fixed em up and got 2 pac dg white colour matched.

Got the wastegate actuators and fitted em up. Was a real pain to do as there is no room, but all good now.

Also got a hold of a nismo cat converter to help free up the exhaust a bit more. I'll fit it up when I can be bothered crawling under the car again.

Sway bars have been ordered in too. :P

why not just get a standard high flow cat from ebay etc? like a 120CPI?

There is a place for EBay parts.... and they call them GTST's.

Nobody in their right mind puts ebay parts on their GTR(unless its wearing a genuine Nismo, or equalivent brand name).

Can i ask, is it still wearing TE-37 look a like ROTA's, how are those.... lot of people say "mean" things about ROTA wheels... :thumbsup:

Will be interested !!!!

but dam they look the bizzz

I don't usually get ebay gear, just my choice.

I've had a metal cat (barrel type) fall to bits on my last car, and it was a well known one too. Don't think an ebay one would handle it!

Yep HKS actuators. Came with crush washers, zip ties, hose, t piece, instructions and yellow jap stickers lol.

I'm very happy with the Rota's, considering they only cost me $1300, not including tyres. Would of liked more dish, and they would look better if I lowered the car :P

I'd love some advans or similar, but don't have $3800+ handy :laugh:

The only thing I had to get was hub rings to center the wheels on the hub. If the stock wheels had an offset of +12 I wouldn't need the rota's!

Fitted the sway bars this weekend, less roll now, and one of the guys thought I had aftermarket coilovers lol.

Nismo cat is in. You don't notice how bad the compliance/high flows are until you get a better cat!

Got a brand new HKS High power silent stainless steel exhaust and fitted that too, so shiny! Now there is no more kinked bend piping, crappy resonators and horrible drone.

It is nice and quiet when you want it to be and has a great note when the go pedal is pushed.

It all bolted up sweet and everything clears, no more exhaust hitting the rear diffuser either.

Now the engine is willing to rev out a lot more. Me thinks it needs a dyno tune to 'optimise' the setup! Will soon be reaching the limits of stock fuel injectors and AFM's.

Also got a brake master cylinder stopper to fit at some point.

Next on the list once my wallet recovers is probably rego.

Still have to get:

Nismo MFD upgrade

New front rotors

fire extinguisher

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • 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?
    • 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
