Hey guys, reporting in from Canada, BC. Picked up another 4 door sedan !

This one is a red top SR20DET with an S14 turbo. The car was a little bit of an exciting pick up because it seems the previous owner didn't know much about the car when he brought it over. I've found the car came with a Greddy profec, 255lph fuel pump, upgraded injectors ( not sure of the size but they drain the ol gas tank pretty quickly ), 2 way rear locking diff, 3" turbo back exhaust, cooler box in the glove box :O.

The swap was done very very clean over in japan, the boys at Forcefed performance out here said no one could pull off a clean SR swap like this in Canada -- I was glad to hear this !

I'm looking at doing a GTR rear bumper and side skirts. I was looking for some information on the fitment, couldn't find anything -- probably my search fail :)

If anyone knows how the fitment is on the GTR side skirts and rear bumper, please let me know !

Thanks guys

I've been more of a lurker on the forums here than a poster :D

Glad to be back in an R32 !

A GT-R rear bar is no more aesthetically pleasing than the stock 4-door one and would require modification (coupe rear lights and other bits, and nothing lines up properly anyway).

The skirts on a GT-R aren't much to look at either (and also won't fit without modification).

You're better off finding the stock aero skirts to go with the 4-door and some rear pods on a stock rear bar.

Nice purchase by the way!

Any other questions just ask. :D

I'll take a look for some different side skirts and scrap the GTR Idea :)

I've been told the uras kit makes my car look too boxy -- and rightfully so ( on a side view ) Before I bought this car I wasn't a fan of the uras kit, so I think I've just got a case of the " I love it how it looks cause its mine " ;)

Thanks guys,

Its the trick of the camera angle. When you view the car on a direct side view or a rear - side view, the kit is a bit extreme. I definitely picked the best picture for it ! thats for certain :) it hides the extreme angles of the kit.

very nice, i wouldnt change the kit thats on it. Looks good how it is

You could pull the kit off but you'd have to run some wider rims and slam it!

How do you guys go about importing parts from Japan? Do you use Jesse Streeter as well? He would be your best bet for finding the aero parts as you probably won't find much in Canada hey...

Yeah I'm looking for a more clean GTR side skirt sort of deal, a local guy here has a set of "N1" side skirts, looks good. As for a rear bumper I think lll look for a stock bumper and go with a lip or I'll get creative and see what else I can come up with.

I'm open to suggestions :) I love pics guys, if you have an idea for me post a pic and lets see it ! I use to have an Aero body kit on my old silver one.

We have a number of guys to source parts from directly from Japan over on " GTR Canada ".

I'll dig some up after I get home from work. :)

Got hundreds of 4dr 32's alone so I'll try and post a few ideas.

When you say you'll go for a stock bumper and lip, do you mean boot lip or rear bumper lip?

I've wanted a rear bumper lip forever, precisely a Cross Factory one which have been discontinued for years and basically impossible to get your hands on.

I want something which are like rear pods, but wrap around the bottom of the rear bar and join up with the pods if you know what I mean.

Sorry for the hijack but if we are after the same thing we might be able to help each other out. :D

BTW, Eastbear make 'N1 style' skirts specifically for the 4dr. Not sure how easy you'd be able to get some of those either.

Sounds good, I'd love to see some pictures !

Yeah I'm also looking for a full wrap around rear lip :) I haven't seen any so I figured they are rare to come by ( this is why I was hoping for some other ideas ! ) I thought perhaps I could get creative and mix match a kit that flows together nicely with the GTR front end.

haha sorry but slammed and wider wheels? from what i can see the guards are full as it is and the car is what 3-4cm off the ground :wacko::unsure:

Are you serious? I'm trying to find the clip, not sure which hashiriya it's in. Let me know if you can pin point it I'd love to see it !

I have a DVD at home which features this car sliding down mountains I think...

It used to have "HEY MAN!!!"

On the sun strip... The DVD is called hashiriya afaik

Cmon it's not even tucking any tyre lol.

I'm not saying this is daily-able but there is plenty of room for wider rims and slammage.

This is how you pull it off. I know it's BN kit but same principle.

And here's a more subtle approach.

I think I have some pictures of a 2-door rear light conversion but I really don't see the point?

The coupe conversion is possible but takes abit of welding and stuff

heres a link to a guide on how too ... really not worth the effort or money

http://www.driftworks.com/forum/technical/90204-r32-skyline-2-door-rear-lights-do-these-fit-4-door-skyline.html

personally i want some of these made up

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/368144-need-a-good-fibreglasser/page__p__5871278#entry5871278

relocate it into the centre with the reverse light

ive pulled mine out and all that would need to be done is a orange small globe/led's rewired to original wiring and just superglued to the reflecter where the reverse light is attached.

or if you wanted to get really creative you could get a piece of wood (ones with holes in them) and wire top half of wires to the indicators (orange globes) and bottom half to reverse lights (white globes)

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
