so I've been looking through the auctions section on www.japaneseusedcars.com and I found something that is quiet interesting. Up for auction next wednesday is this r34 http://japaneseusedcars.com/auction/wednes...No-WUF5039.html that looks as if it is a nismo omori factory S1. Not sure if it is genuine or not due to no proof/engine pics, but it does have S1 decals on the back and side of the car, aswell as only 9,000kms on what would most definately be a new engine. Genuine or not, it looks like a damn good piece of kit for what is so far only 42,304.80AUD. Would this car even be able to be complied here in Aus?

Hi.

You would have to confirm what you think it is as its only noted as a v spec 2. The reason for the r rating is repair to r/h front guard- r/h door and looks like r/h skirt or maybe sill.The kms are not genuine. With this r rating you really need somebody you can trust to inspect and advise.

not too sure what you mean by that, are the genuine ones only bayside blue? don't they offer a S1 tuning package either way?

no, they can be any colour, from red to MP3

S1 engine packages are offered by Omori, they are basically a stage 1 package, but built by Nismo

here is a picture of an S1 engine i took in 2006 at Omori

The car youve posted a link too does indeed have an S1 engine fitted from the description,

Jeez, some of you guys need to brush up on your auction report reading....

As Noy said, this car has been floating around at auction since May, mainly because it has been STARTING at 3.8 million yen, so goodness knows what the owner wants for it.

It's not a colour change, if it was it'd be marked on the sheet.

It's had a hit on the front right, taking out the quarter panel and driver's door, although given the owner still managed to get a replacement S1 emblem, the accident must've been a fair while ago (Nismo don't sell those emblems any more).

It IS a legit S1, build number S-005, it actually says so on the sheet. In saying this, Nismo only converted existing GT-Rs to S1 or R1 specs, they weren't a specific model like the Z-Tune was, which is why it's marked as a V-Spec II.

The car has had two gauge cluster changes, one in 2004 at 18,000km (most likely when the S1 conversion was done) and then in 2005 at 6000 (indicated), making a total somewhere around 33,000km on the car itself.

i miss read the 6, as a 60k, due to replying on my iphone

but your right, its a genuine S1, with the cluster change and now has a 320 nismo cluster in it.

colour changes are not always marked on the sheet tho, depends on how honest the auction house is ;-)

there must be something wrong with it, if its been there since may,

maybe if you inspect it close up, you would find out

most R34 GT-Rs (excellent ones) are approx 3.5minimum up wards so its in the right ball park but odd if its been there since may, something doesnt tally up

the "badge" looks like a sticker, which Nismo still sell tho

The emblem is a sticker, yes - if you can source one from Nismo, then I'm all ears, I'm after an R1 emblem for my car. Last I checked they didn't have any left.

did you call Omori direct or did you just go through an agent?

calling direct is the best policy

you can still get them

      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.

      Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.

      @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.

      Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
