Just picked my car up today from the wharf (R33 GTR) and I've noticed they are pink (I mean the plastic bit..) compared that with my old GTi-R (suppose they are using the same injectors?) this seems a bit strange. Perhaps it's been upped to Nismo 550cc pink injectors? Also the fuel rail says "GTR/SP" or something strange/doesn't make sense..is it safe to assume it's been modded?

I've noticed the fuel regulator been tweaked as well as part of the fuel line connection been changed to braided lines.

Another weird thing I've noticed is that the pods are inter-connected ie from the AFM to the pod is a pipe but that pipe has been modified to connect both of the pod and AFM together BUT it is still running the stock turbo's (or it seems..) I can't understand why would anyone wanna join them up?

Now to the turbo - my car suppose to have done close to 75k km BUT the turbo looks as if it's new..it doesn't have the HKS GT power tag on the back of it (I was dreaming it's a new HKS turbo...d'oh!) but it's got Garrett on it. How can I verify which version are they? What colour is the actuator? I've noticed these are in a bronze/gold-ish colour and appeared to be fairly new.

Finally, the car doesn't really idle well...what problem am I facing? It's running Z32 AFM to my understanding and a stock ECU too.

Thanks people..

Hi dairyboy, I'd start at the ecu, Z32 afm's and a standard ecu don't go together very well, very tricky to program. Have you checked the ecu to make sure it is in fact standard?

Most actuators are cad plated, that's the bronze/gold finish.

Not all HKS turbos have HKS cast into them.

As for fuel pressure regs and rails, a picture would make it easier.

I strongly suggest a visit to your local Skyline familiar workshop and have the car checked out, a quick run on the dyno will tell you if there are any major issues that need to be addressed. I have recently rebuilt a GTR engine after the new owner drove it far and fast before having it checked out.

Hope that helps

    • Hey guys Long time lurker, I daily a nm35 stagea 250t rs four and I've had it for almost 2 years (very reliable 馃憣). Issues or just looking for information ill always find myself here having a read, so thought id join.  3inch stainless intake, pod filter, AM performance turbo dump pipe, 3inch hotdog, 3 and half inch stainless to 3 and half inch AM performance blast pipes. Bc racing coilovers. 18inch rims Hdi intercooler and trans cooler soon.  Here's my car
    • thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price  
    • Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?
    • Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.
