Hey all, i'm new to this forum and relatively new in the Sky land...

My project consist in a Skyline HCR32 (GTS-t) '93 with few modifications.

Maybe the bigger one was de LHD conversion.

I bougth it close to stock, just spoiler removed and front strut bar.

Others mods made after that are:

- Hicas removed

- Front mounted IC

- Apexi+custom CAI

- Turbo upgrade GT2060RS (with ATP T3 turbine housing)

- Greddy profect e01 boost controller

- JIC coilovers

- Work Meister S1 17"

This car is Trackday and rides oriented, but other uses are not discarded (like drift).

ok right, stop boring you with my poor english and share some pics... (edit: i'think can't attach files yet...)

About two month after rising boost up to 1 bar (knowing the possible consequences), i get blue smoke everywhere...

So, looking here and there for best turbo upgrade option (here don't have many), finally i bought a Garrett GT2860RS with ATP T3 exhaust housing (which have 5-bolt ford pattern flange) and an adapter 5-bolt -> V-Band with internal wastegate port.

This way i can keep the exhaust manifold and just fabricate the downpipe. But in the future i'm thinking run an external wg setup.

Then i reuse the original wastegate valve...

Bought a whater&oil line kit for this turbo & RB20

And the downpipe fabrication...

I can provide any details (or more pics) about this upgrade, just ask :)

Thanks mate!

Yes, very unsafe, without the bar it flex a lot, i think in a crash will oppose force at all. So you are right, the cage (with lateral bars) is a must, but here is not too easy to find a P&P one (if not impossible), and cage makers are barely existent (and good)... this is a small country too far from the rest of the world ! but i'm on that...

I have not had a chance to weigh it up yet, but i think that will be close to 10Kg with the polycarbonate.

BTW, this are spare doors, so i will keep the originals intact ;-)

In Australia our racing is organised by CAMS.

They set all the rules ans regulations, they have the requirements of roll cages on their web site.

If you can weld well, maybe you could make your own, and use the guide to make a safe cage.

So far so looking good :)

I will reuse from rb20 the ecu (nistuned), harness (except injectors). and spark coils / ignitor...

Re-routing the water to bypass the heater...

In every forum i've seen, ppl just eliminate the heater making a bypass between the two hoses that go through the firewall. But in that way, the water will pass through it and not through the cooler (the easiest way). I think forcing the water pass only through the oil cooler is a better way and more similar to the oem flow design.

post-118185-0-57680700-1401739418_thumb.jpg

Another wired idea: reusing the oem cross pipe with the front face intake :-|

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
