Looking to join the darkside for a 2nd time ey?

First it was a dirty 30, now you getting excited over GTR's...

Anything else we should know about? lol

Ha sif. I just wanted to see another pos gtr for positive reinforcement of my beliefs. :(

Re said POS for 14k. If its still around at end of Sept then i could be interested. I try to reclaim my life next week. Will be interesting to see how I go....be fun to buy a GTR, and de0file it with GTST badge, V-Tec stickers and just gut it and put it into a wall. Kill it... like all GTRs deserve (not even RIP. Rest in a flaming inferno you gasgety POS)

Except for that R33 of course. Giant shoudl put me on a payment plan :(

I would be real curious to see someone buy a basic used R33 GTR, already with the usual stuff for 22k. Spend 5k on stripping it, race seat, and good pads and seat and harness, tyres. I suspect with steel wheel turbo and 280awkws it would be an entertaining, quick and reliable thing without breaking the bank.

Roy you should know that minus the stripping bit that is an exact description of my R....now the suspn is sorted I can say that it is fun and reliable (so far..touch wood). As for quick....well considering I'm steering it I think it doesn't go too badly :( and with a bit of weight loss there should be a lot more in it.

I think I'll give to ActionDan to see what it can do.

Fixed

It'll be in a For Sale thread in 3-4 weeks when I put it up - it's a car I have in my possession.

Currently @ Racepace getting a bit of a look-over.

I will start collecting loose change from various couches in poeples houses from now!

Did someone say R33 GT-R for 14k?

PM me details :laugh:

There out there mate. I bought a complete mint R33 gtr a few year back uncomplied for $9000 in Springvale. I've prob bought another 2 or 3 clean r32 gtr's with good mods and blown motors for $8k in the past.

Nothing to do with the Thread.

But, this photo is taken on Ferraris test track - Fiorano. The wife and I jumped the fence in 1998 and watched Luca Badoer shake down the F1 car on the Wednesday before the Imola GP. We were hiding behind the barrier at the end of the straight in the photo.

Ahh the memories, thanks for listening.

PS Go with a GTR and upgrade the oiling systems.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
