Hey guys , been on the forum for awhile never really posting just looking around parts and D.I.Y s

So I thought might aswell start a build thread for the car.

Here is my 1992 r32 gts , yer it's a gts I know , but after having a r34 gtt sedan,

S15, r32 sedan, r32 gtr x, 300zx .... The list goes on ..

I've decided that it would be nice to start with a car from the bottom and build it to my standards , and + I got it for real cheap all running :D

Any who the car starts it's life as a rb20de manual , has a dodgy pod filter that isn't even held on properly and a poor paint job

Not the best of conditions as the last owner/s seem to be a bit well.. The car should reflect there previous love towards her >>

Hope to post as much as I can when free hope there's more to come :)

So update guys just picked up a new boot and rear bar as the old one was painted poorly with a Can by the previous owner and was bent out of place . Started pulling her apart and converted her to 5 studs , looking into upgrading to braided lines but been hearing a lot of mixed feed back from them so thoughts on other skyline owners ?

A sneak picture of the missus car next to it :) but all in all quite happy with her , interior dash is fairly good no cracks or bubbles which is a plus !post-121260-13866652604734_thumb.jpg

Update

Just lowered her on tein super street coilovers , sits nice and low but still legal which I enjoy :Dpost-121260-13878950123339_thumb.jpg

And off she went for roadworthy :)post-121260-13878950499979_thumb.jpg

She passed aswell I got a gtr front and rear guards for her more so I can run wider rims and the difference in the hood was surprising post-121260-13878951345036_thumb.jpg

Haha none taken :) it's true it is I believe a base model for a skyline but it's something that makes the car enjoyable instead of just buying a turbo model.

I have an engine for her actually already lined up not going to tell anyone just yet :P but at kits just getting all the suspensions mods and braces placed in before the engine gets put In

Been along time since I've posted. Been a real hectic year but now I've kinda got the time to get back into this again so here I go.

Firstly lets start with this . post-121260-1417772987887_thumb.jpgpost-121260-14177730205505_thumb.jpg

This little one came along:)

Was a track car so I expected the worse so starting to replacing parts here and there.

As this was going on this happened

So now that cars going to insurance and have to deal with fixing this white one quicker stay tuned;)

So the car was in limp mode :( and had problems with the spark ,

Checked the Afm and changed the igniter and coilpacks to see if it would resolve it and nothing .

so after a week of pulling my hair and trying to figure what the heck was wrong I took a look at the wiring in the ecu . Turns out the Afm wiring and the wiring for the coilpacks had been hacked apart D:

So now just re wiring everything even in this weather

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
