Modifying Gtr

[0zhiph0p]

So the problem is still happening mechanic thought it might be the fuel pump module but took it out of the equation by earthing the fuel pump and it still happens it gets a really shit idle then might stall at idle, might loose power at 80 km and foot goes to the floor pull over and stall, it's all just random really need to find the fault, my mechanic had it out on the road driving on the dyno and it wouldn't play up has anyone else had a similar problem just lose power for 5 seconds then comes good

if this is a GTR and you are still running AFM's then check them for dry solder joints....that'd be my guess...give the element a clean with proper afm cleaner also.

I had a similar problem many many years ago, not long after I got the car and it turn out to be one of the fuse links attached to the battery, worth a look

[DAN00H]

inspect your wiring loom running to the AFM's, could be a poor connection or broken wire. also ask the mechanic to check the TPS position as that will impact on idle.

gonna give the car a good look over this long weekend, and has to go back to mechanic for front end/steering shit so ill get them to give it a check over too.

im having another problem at the moment hicas light comes on mostly under heavy accaleration or left turns checked power steering fluid looks to be a bit low cant find what the recomended fluid is though, did a search and got all different answers dx 2 dx 3 dx vi nissan special fluid just wondering what is the go ?

thanks guys for the help

[Badgaz]

i think the reservoir for the hicas is in the boot for the r32 hicas. just use any old powersteering fluid i reckon...something is better than nothing.

[0zhiph0p]

the one in the boot is for the attesa, i was thinking that something is better than nothing but some oils and hoses and shit are ment to only have 1 sort. ie synthetic or mineral and shit. cars giving me enough friggen problems i dont want to upset her anymore lol

[MrStabby]

I'd use Valvoline Synthetic ATF. Its Nissanmatic D, J and K compliant and ~$10.00/L.

Not true about mineral and synthetic - you can use either, but synthetic will last longer, and for power steering the higher boiling point can be useful at the track.

[0zhiph0p]

it would probably be worth draining the whole system then and replasing the whole lot, rather than mixing with whatever is already in there ay?

is it easy to obtain bursons ? or nissan direct ?

[MrStabby]

I like to change all the fluids when i get a new (to me, second hand) car, but it depends on time/money/priorities. So maybe for you it would be better to focus on fixing broken stuff and just top up now. Its just Valvoline so get it from any spare parts place. Another option is the Nulon synthetic but its a fair bit more expensive.

[0zhiph0p]

The rebirth of my thread haha.

So we've come along way. More mods more heartache moooore money but hey that's motoring. So I've been dwelling on a couple of ideas but need some answers and who better to ask than the people who have done it before me.

At high rpm 3rd to 4th crunches like a bitch I did some reading to find that possibly r32 gtr gearsets and patrols are the same so I wonder where could a "rebuild" kit be sourced from bearings synchros seals etc.

And I think I like the sound of a -5 turbo setup, a bit laggy but Moore powah. But do they go by another name so as I can look them up for price etc?

Thanks guys

Gearbox rebuild: Competition gearboxes 97201187. Have a chat to Simon, nice bloke.

Look them up.

Garrett 2860-5 turbos

[0zhiph0p]

Thanks mate

[okooko]

I'm running -5's currently and am thinking about switching to -7's lol.

[0zhiph0p]

How come ?

[Piggaz]

How come ?

-5's suck dick on a 2.6.

[0zhiph0p]

Why so? Well what's a good replacement turbo, if I change them I just want something straight swap......until I decide to do a big single later

[okooko]

More response is what I want right now. Its like buying the turbos that fit for the car right now and replace when you max its output

[XGTRX]

Go 5s, don't listen to the - 7 fan boys. Best daily/fun set up by far.

[Mick_o]

Lol don't listen to the self proclaimed king of lag either! Go with 9's forget about 7's and 5's!

Everyone knows how much fun it is losing to a stock WRX at the lights unless you're spinning your car to redline in the 1st 3 gears!
