I'm in the planning stages of a new project and I'm having a hard time finding answers. The platform is going to be my tired but trusty little B14 200sx. I've decided to give her a new emerald blue paint job with carbon zg flares, hood, and trunk. For running gear, here's where it get's a little weird, I going to swap in a gtir rear end and avenir auto awd trans. I'm going to do a mild build on the engine with new pistons, rings and bearing to handle a 100 wet shot. I know the auto transmissions are weak but, I can't seem to find out how weak and if there are rebuild kits out to beef them up.

you'd be better off asking on the pulsar forums rather than the skyline forums. the 200sx bit threw me off for a second there when you started talking about gtir rear end and avenir boxes. over here the 200sx was the australian version of the silvia, which america got as the 240sx (although ours still kept the sr20 rather than the ka24).

so as i said, try the pulsar forums, as the guys there will have a bit more info on the fwd/awd stuff. or have a look through a few american sites to see if you can find info.

Appreciate it. None of the US sites have much info on any of the awd setups since they were never sold over here. I've been searching bluebird sites since that's where the fwd guys source most of their engines from with no luck. I'll give the pulsar sites a go and see what I can come up with. Thanks again.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
