check around the back doors inside and out for surface rust aswell as where the bonnet hinges and around the windows, i had a tiny bit around these places when i bought mine before i had it removed. i also had my jacking points down the side of the car crushed which were covered up by a bodykit so maybe check there.

i personally run rb20de+t in my cefiro..

Torquier, faster, more reponsive and more hyper than SR and rb25.

Personally i wouldn't go from s13 to R32 4d. There's not enough difference, your going from one old car to another old car...

That said.. Prepare to get a lot of rb20 haters, but they respond well to mods. That is all

the engine is a stock RB20DET not a RB20DE+T...I should know as its my car and I did the conversion :P

I still have the NA engine in the shed if anyone is keen on that...thought not!

And yeah car is still for sale:

...i said MY setup is RB20 DE+T not yours! haha

you thought wrong :P

PM how much you want for the RB20DE =) and how many KM on the motor!

but yeah - the chassis of R32 4D is a nice setup... sounds like a lot of fun! (to potential buyer)

things to look out for when paying 6K ONO for a 4 door R32

i'll cut to the chase - if the seller is going 6K ONO for an R32 four door THAT HAS ALREADY GOT an RB20DET manual convert with swapped out late model interior.. in that AWESOME colour,

WITH all those extra suspension, cooling, electronic and other mods!?!?!

WITH twelve months registration?

what the hell IS there to look out for at that price?

it's a fking STEAL!!!

sorry to rant here - but seller of this car? you're crazy man... you've gone to so much work with this car and it looks so nice! i cant beleive you would let it go for this price..

buyer - i know you're asking because you're concerned. but seriously??? if i was letting my car go for this price and a guy made this thread about my car - SCRUTINIZING whether or not it's a good buy at 6 grand??? i would honestly tell you to beat it..

at this price - there is no question... if you like the car.. you BUY the car. at this price .. if the motor blows up. you replace it. if there's rust in the body. you fix it.

this car looks MINT at that price. i cant believe this seriously.. this thread breaks my heart.

sorry for flying off the handle. but - seller? you're crazy for letting this car go for such a low price, but - it's your choice

buyer - either you like the car, or you don't. at this price, no matter what goes wrong, you'll still be out in front.

let's say you're at the track in three months time and the car explodes and burns in a fireball. who cares. you paid next to nothing for it.

i just hope that you're not lowballing this guy lower than 6K...

  • 2 weeks later...

^^^lol i wont tell you what i sold it for then. Was sad to see it go I put alot into that car to make it how I wanted it. But at the end of the day these cars aren't worth much now. I had it for sale for 2 months before I got any real interest in it.

But anyway that's cars.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • 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.
