Hello everyone!

Just wanted to take time to introduce myself. Since the link "new to the forum" wont cooperate with me i figured I'd start one.

The names Marsh and I live in Japan. I just recently purchased my Godzilla. A 92 BNR32 GTR, White and virtually stock! For now :)- Being a previous STi fanatic, well my only comment i have for the GTR is... I'm in love!!!!

Great forum by the way, I look forward to getting to know you all!

Thanks Luke Gtr!

Following the detail ill post up pics.

In the meantime, any recommendations on where to start? My knowledge is pretty limited on skylines being that there are none in America. As it stands now, she's got a 105,000km on the clock. Bought her from a Japanese tuner shop named PowerBox. From what I understand its a really reputable shop. However I think the owner threw in some random parts to sweeten the deal?

Mod list includes: Volk rims, twin plate clutch(unknown brand), HKS intake, Koyo rad, turbo timer and a power fc. Feels incomplete right?

It's my understanding that the gtr's were manufactured severely under tuned, with intake and exhaust flow restrictions. So why the twin plate and power fc?

First mod I have planned would be exhaust. I'm looking at Tomei titanium and possibly putting in the cat delete pipe as its pretty easy to get away with in Japan. Anyone running the same exhaust?

Thoughts/ suggestions?

first of all, lol at "powerbox".

ok, for exhaust, try and get a turbo back, as the dump pipes can be quite restrictive.

keep the cat, as long as you have a high flow, ahouldnt affect power.

pfc is probably there so they can squeeze more power out of factory set up.

twin plate would be for feel and longevity on a stock set up.

hope this helps.

intakes weren't restrictive apart from afm's at very high power.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
