Hi all.

Ive just had my R32 GTR on the dyno and was quite happy with the results but when the car was at the shop the exhaust temp light came on and just stayed there. The light can not be operated by the original sensor as it and its wiring are long gone. I got home and did some serching and there seemed to be some mixed ideas about what can bring it on. My car has a Power Fc and has been perfect for years with never seeing any lights at all until now.

I can confirm 100 percent that R32 GTRs use this as their warning light. I looked at the car and while the laptop was plugged in the pfc boost control had been turned on and i dont run boost control so it bought up the exhaust temp warning light. I turned it off and the light went away.

All Good.

ed's post is saying that on BNR32, there is no engine check light so the PFC uses the exahust temp light as the "engine check light"

cars such early model RX7 also do this, they use exhaust temp light as the engine check light instead

thanks for confirming ed

I thought the car won't start if boost controller is set to on in PFC and apexi boost kit isn't being used

I found it would eventually start with a lot of accelerator but wouldn't idle or run properly at all.

Never had this problem with an Rb25, it just illuminated the check engine light.

GTR was very different.

Yeah just on the R32 gtr as far as i know. It started and ran fine but the boost was down a couple of pounds as im guessing since it was looking for the apexi one it stopped doing anything with the original. When i turned it back to off the boost went from 10sih to mid 12 psi. I still had the factory restrictor in. I didnt think that it would do anything with the factory solenoid but it seems to.

Live and learn.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
