Thanks guys. After being down for many days I found another car. The car had the engine tear down and never put back together for ten years. It was stored away in a store room for ten years and never touched. Its a r32 gtr so ill just buy a new oil pan and install it. Then ill install the engine. I have a few questions.

1. Is the stock intercooler better than most ebay units like what I used on my gts4?

2. Whats the widest rims can fit a r32 gtr.

3. Any suggestions on the car as it will still be for drag racing.

Judging by the stain on the driver's seat that R32 used to be a quick car! :laugh:

Sorry to hear about your GTS4 though man, that's not good at all.

Wow. What a bad joke. :lol::lol::lol:

I miss the gts4, but I think it did its purpose. I hadn't talk to my dad in over 3 years and this car brought us together. Now ill miss it but things happen for a reason. Thanks again everyone. Ill do it over with this car. I wanted a gtr for the motor but was stuck with the gts4 and it was quite rusted and required a whole lot more work as I only refurbished the front.

This car need nothing but power.

Oh I will be shampooing the interior soon then those stains will go. If not 2 new seat will help.

:lol::lol: what a joke.

Would you mind posting up some photos of your gtr with those wheels.

Car is at the panel shop getting work finished so they are not on our car ATM but they came off the R32 GTR below, there is a pic inside the sale thread in the first post.

Both these cars looks amazing. I thought to run drag tires they all had to me the same size but the front looks smaller. I only thought this because the 4wd syatem would get damaged. From what I can remwmber the difference has to be no more than 2 percent. But man does that look good. Think ill go with GTC by volk racing. :D for the street though.

Thanks for all the photos guys we have strayed off topic a little on this thread sorry for that.

Lol. :) I do have one, but I never had the chance to try it out.

But the stock wheels look so good with those MT tires. So I take it that the car is set to full rwd. Because to even have it set to a low percentage of front torque means it will still affect the transfer case clutch disk or the health of the diff. ????

Hmmm. I've always thought that I could have installed a switch to that fuse and have the feature inside.

Ill have a try at my torque split convert first. I notice that it hooks up to the G sensor. It looks pretty simple to install. I wonder what it does to the G sensor to make it 2wd and so forth. Hmm.

If your not pulling the fuse to totally disconnect the front from the rear you must have the same circumferance tyres front and back.

We will also be running M/T Et streets on the stock wheels, TE37SL are for sticky street rubber with a little more life in them than drag radials.

I see. So even the controller wont totally separate the front from the rear.

I have a question here now that we are on the subject. I see some gtr's do a rear wheel burn out and then back up to the line and launch what I believe to be a 4wd launch. How is this done. I've spent some time reading and I've always left confused.

Can you bring some clarity to this question mate. ??:huh:

R32 can be put into rwd by pulling a fuse so its easy to fit a switch. R33 and R34 not so but there is a plug you can pull to disable the fwd and you can fit a switch to that. The procedure is a little more complicated than on/off and I'll quote (more or less) from the manual:

Locate the "air bleed" wire behind the drivers kick panel, it's a plug with a single wire either side (usually green socket, white plug).

Disconnect it.

Start car. As key comes back to the ON position, within 10 seconds, depress brake pedal 5 times, 4WD light will start flashing to indicate you are in 2WD mode.

To go back to 4WD mode, turn car off, reconnect plug and off you go.

Some controlers do seperate front and rear, or in other words turn it into permenent RWD when needed on R32 models.

When running in RWD you can have different circumferance tyres front and back.

Problem is when you do try feeding some power to the front, you can never do this when 2 circumferance tyres are used without something binding up due to the diffrent tyre rotation speeds.

So on R32 GTR's you should never do this unless your planning to always stay RWD.

Methods to turn a R32 GTR into RWD are to pull the 4WD fuse or switch the igintion off and on while its rolling or fit a controller and pray no one accidentally switches it back to 4WD if your tyre circunferances are different.

Thats some good clear answers guys. The plug you are talking about is the one wire plug that is used to bleed up the system. Thats funny you would mention that because its just a method of tripping the the light that puts the car in 2wd. After bleeding up the system I forgot to plug it back in one day and the light came on after I moved the car from one parking spot to the next.

From reading the instructions I have for my extreme TCS it works best in r32 gtr's and gts4.

The contoller has a dial that goes from 0 to 10. You guys have me excited to use this device. One question. I can go from 2wd to 4wd at anytime using this controller.? Once stopped of course. Plus I never ever run different size tire and dont intend on ever doing so on any of my gtr's, I rather buy 4 new set.

Please look at the attached photos of my controller.

Awesome explanations guys.

That controller you have linked a photo of has a 2WD/4WD switch, so is probably wired in the same as most 2WD/4WD switches such as like this tutorial:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/327206-fitting-a-4wd-rwd-toggle-switch-to-an-r32/

You can flick the switch while rolling to go from 4WD to 2WD, but to go back to 4WD you'll need to come to a complete stop for it to reset (once you've flicked back to 4WD of course).

  • 2 weeks later...

the M/T et streets will fit on the stock GTR rims...we used 11.5" wide slicks... i'll upload a pic of them when i get home.

Would you mind listing the whole tire size that you guys used. Those are M/T drags ?? Does the car have stock suspension? Edited by MJTru

the car has greddy suspension but its non height adjustable and only adjustable dampening...stockish suspension actually works better due to giving you better squat. i'll get the ladder out and have a look at them...its been over 10 years since we bought them and i can't remember,

I would really appreciate that. Because I planing on buying a set of those tire to give it a try. Im on stock rear suspension at the moment.

Thanks mate.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
