Well if you're in Sydney MIC33R you can come and check out mine for a reference point. we can go for a blat and you can tell me (like everyone else) that I should have got a manual. Fug yas all I say.

I've now learnt from all of you guys that mine is definitely a series one.

Thanks for the offer Bob. Unfortunately I'm in Newcastle, and I don't get down to Sydney too often. I might take you up on this offer one day though :D

Cheers,

Michael

PS I can tell you now, without even having seen your car, that you should have bought a manual :D

The X turbo is definitely not the model down. Here's the extras that it gets over the plain turbo -  

Xenon lights standard (option for 25GT)

Automatic light system (not available on 25GT)

Driver's seat vanity mirror (not available on 25GT)

8 speaker "Holographic" sound system with CD (25GT has 4 speaker cassette with no option to go to the 8 speaker setup)

Hmmm, not quite right, unless I'm confused about what I have sitting in the driveway!

My 34 GTT 4 door has (had) the Xenon lights, DOES have the Automatic light system, DOES have a drivers seat vanity mirror, and DOES have the Holographic sound system with a CD (it sounds pretty good, which is why I haven't replaced it). Are you saying my car is a X Turbo??? Why wouldn't I see any 'other' sign ie it has the standard GT badge...

Thoughts?

And as far as I can see, a GT-X Turbo would have a model number like -

B (4 door)

GK (RB25DE, or RB25DET)

B (2WD + electric super hicas)

R (right hand drive)

E (250GT,25GT, 25GT-X)

F or A (five speed or auto)

R34

U (Intercooler & turbocharger)

DA

ie BGKBREFR34UDA for 5 speed, BGKBREAR34UDA for auto.

where mine (being a GTT!) has a T (25 GT Turbo) replacing the E...

ie BGKBRTFR34UDA for 5 speed, BGKBRTAR34UDA for auto.

So I suspect you may not be right about those features only on a GT-X Turbo, alternatively, nissan didn't get the E/T letter right - it interesting to note that they don't specificly mention the 25GT-X TURBO as a model in the info above...

Thoughts again?

ian, that's definitely a GT-X you've got there. If that GT-X badge posted in this thread earlier is real, then you've just been debadged. Otherwise, they do just look like any other 25GTt.

If you go to the Nissan History site, it definitely shows those things I listed as being for a GT-X. I'm 99.9% sure that's what you have.

anymore pics of your 4dr Rob?

I was after a 4dr 34 turbo manual, but couldn't find one :(

Do you mean me? I thought about manual but like you couldn't find one in 4 door. I'm told that the importers assume that people who buy 4 doors expect the buyers to be older and therefore lazier I suppose. The words "executive types" were mentioned to me and to be honest that's kind of what I am although I really hate to admit it (I'm still clinging to my youth).

People who import their own seem to get the coupes.

The whole importing thing has become more accessable as time has gone on so I expect to see more Stegea's and 4 doors and other different, fast but practical cars. I've always been a practical person in that sense, no family but I often fill my car up with friends.

http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/u...%2Fframe4d.html

you are completely correct...

So I've gone hunting on the internet, to see if the GT-X bage earlier on this post is original. The quick conclusion I've come to is it isn't, as I can't find a single other 'Gt-X' turbo car with it on..

Interesting enough, I found exactly my car labled as a GT-X turbo in quite a few places, ie

http://www.geocities.com/hpl912/gallery.html

the "skyline 25 GT-X turbo" is exactly my car (don't they look good for a 4 door.. :-)

as is

http://www11.plala.or.jp/minato302/PATLIGH...car/201/201.htm

(of course, a GTT and GT-X are going to look the same..)

In that case, yo CAN NOT tell a -X turbo from a GTT - it has the same model number, and does NOT have a ugly GTX badge like the one in this posting. It's obviously just a short hand for a GTT with eXtra options...

and it doesn't bother me that I have a GT X turbo instead of a GT... :-)

Ian

i'm almost 100% sure the GT-X badge is a home job because i've also seen GT-T badges in the GT-R arrangment. The red letter always seems to be done very dodgely - here's an example of GT-T (GTR) badge - no thanks....

if the they got the silver/chrome surround of the Red letter right, it might be ok, and the red it too...... red :) I think the GTR red is slightly darker. Looks like a T i would make back in MatTech at school!! :spank:

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
