Anyone Else Struggle With The Practicality Of Owning A Gtr?


Recommended Posts

Obv, having back surgery a few years back doesnt help either!! Thats pretty irritating most days for me, so hence I have a love hate relationship with the GTR:(

The left knee gives me grief sometimes in traffic jams, but my gtr really is a weekender, i take the tram to school.

Yeh I know they are the best street weapons forn the price for sure!!! Grant, I think I am feeling more like a cruiser these days, must be getting Old:(

Eventually you'll get over chicken leg syndrome :thumbsup:

Clearly not as competitive as you thought :P

Over time you get used to kicking a bag of sand (which some heavy twin plates are like) :D

Oh well, the os giken is pretty comfy, for what it is.

mines a daily and love it and i was thinking about leaving it for cruises and weekends and getting another car that i can use daily but then my gtr will never get driven because i dont drive on the weekends i drink lol.

You wouldnt know what inconvinience was ------try going through life with an old porsche , like i did for 5 years ,

sure it looks great but always in the workshop , no boot at all , no 3rd n 4th seat ,

also no room for 1 farkin boogie board , no golf clubs either . thumbsup.gif I love my 2nd GTR there is no inconvienience at ALL

I only wish the stock 33 gtr suspension was softer. Any suggestions on soft replacement suspension? I only use the car as a daily.

Oh and having to fill up twice a week because of 3 hrs of driving daily is quite annoying haha

Apparently kicking a sand bag is not great for my back:(

You need Nismo Coppermix clutch then...

They are the business.

Its about 5x easier than my OS twin to use.

You're back from Singapore. Welcome back!

fuel just disappears though, other than that, i've got no complaints!

It fits azn sized passengers perfectly! and that's all i ferry around anyway.

I used to use mine for everything and mates will vouch it did just about everything. Daily driver, tow a 17ft boat, tow dirt bikes in the bush plus camping, attempted to 4x4 it but it needed a front LSD for grip, it did plenty of track days in Vic and NSW and was quick for for what it was and $ spent.

What more do you need out of a car? Seems practical to me................

All with a OS Giken triple and never had a problem driving it. I think some of you need to man up and stop being princesses! Back problems are a good excuss though. The clutch isn't that heavy boys.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
