Hey mate good to meet you today ! Here's pics of that steering wheel I was talking about if I owned a 32 I would also own that wheel !

Hey mate,

was good to meet you and have a chat. Awesome 34R. I may get in touch with them and see how much they are. The 34R steering wheel they do is awesome. Wonder if it'll fit a 32?

Dunno why I didn't get this done first time around. Been old and scratched since I got it. Fiddly and lot of prep, covering everything but worth it. Satin Black. Drivers side, section done. Passenger

Yeah, it is addictive. In fact most GTR parts are addictive IMO.

I have the same as well in my car mate ;)

Where can I get that carbon wrap for the middle compartment, gear boot and handbrake boot? I want badly!

Also what gear knob is that? Looks dope.

rhdjapan.com have all 3 carbon parts in stock. They're made by a company called "Superior Auto Creative", not cheap but they're worth it.

LOL. Edited my post after seeing that you had replied.

Champion.

Thank you very much. Props on the work you have done to your 32 thus far. Looks dope, many of us are envious I'm sure! :)

Mind estimating the amount you've dumped into it thus far? :P

Thanks mate. Have decided to concentrate on the cosmetics over the next few months as the mechanical package inc brakes, handling etc is pretty good now, just needs some minor tweaking.

As far as cost goes : I had a spreadsheet somewhere but I've stopped looking at it a while ago. They were a car that cost around the 100k mark when new so I dare say the average GTR build on here would hover around that number more or less too? Folks on here - Feel to correct me but that's been my observation so far :)

Was booked in for Winton mid October but had to cancel as we're moving house. Everything in life is being upsized currently, as the Mrs and I are expecting our first "mini-me" in a few months. Not much time for the car lately unfortunately.

Managed to get it out of storage and drive it to work and back to give it a run for a couple of days. Noticed the interior lights and rear lights are no longer working. Great. After a quick search it looks like there is no fuse and it runs off the headlight switch. So....

New headlight switch. $187! Pretty steep especially when you open one up and see how basic the design is. Thanks Nissan.

Wasn't too hard to get to the switch. Steering wheel can stay in place and just the cluster surround and lower panel need to come off. While I was in there, installing the new headlight switch, I found the plug now looks like this. Great.

Looks like the worn out headlight switch results in a short which then screws the plug up good. Not replacing the plug only lasted me a another drive until the lights went out again.

Thought I had to go scrounge around a whole bunch of N14 Pulars at the wreckers for a replacement plug. Luckily I found a dude wrecking a 32 and bought a black rear bar and nice un-burnt plug. Even came to my work to drop it all off. Nice bloke.

All working again. now. Oh did manage to make it to the SAU VIC cruise to Daylesford. She ran well. Met lots of great ppl on the day too. Needs air-con gas stat. Might get a mate who is a mechanic to gas her up.

On the plus side our new home has a secure double garage so the car finally live with us. Looks like it'll be a whole lot more convenient to get work done on the car after that ;)

Amazing how many little things need to get done to these cars now that they're getting on. Take for example the fact that I had a squeeky/grinding clutch pedal. No amount of lubricant could fix it. It ended up needing 6 replacement bushes from Nissan. Total cost $65 + labour to fit.

I would really hate to see how shagged one of those GTR's selling for 12-15k would be.

Shiv, you should come down to the show and shine @ Skyline Nationals cup weekend if you can make it.

I'd bet you will be a contender for best R32 :)

Plus we need to have some beers.

That it does. So when's the Exedy heavy duty going in :P

That is a nice clutch but I don't think it'd survive my fondness of hard launches.

Jarrod!

Definitely considering going to have a bit of a look. The car's good but I don't think it's show material quite yet :)

Beers are defiantly over due mate, we should tee something up.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
