Hey guys, Just sharing some info and pics on my new car. Since I got into japanese sports car ive always had a soft spot for the 32gtr. Ive owned a couple of s15's , 180, xr6t, vl turbo, couple of ke70's so i figured it was time to give the gtr a go. I searched for a couple of months locally but didnt really come across anything I was overly happy with so i signed up with IRON CHEF imports and the search began. I realised it was probably going to take a little longer then i had thought to find a decent 32 so i began looking at 34's as they are considerably cheaper in japan but after getting one inspected and missing out on it i soon realised i wasnt going to get a high quality 34 with what i was willing to spend. Then i came across the car i now own, was a 4b with 83,000km , no rust, one owner, came with some history and manuals and was in great condition with no rust. Had it inspected, made a bid and won :)

1994 BNR32

Tomei TRB500 crate engine

Rays TE37 wheels

OHLIN suspension

Apexi cat back

Unknown front pipe

HKS oil cooler

HKS intake

ARC radiator

Greddy exhaust temp guage

HKS boost guage

HKS boost controller

The car is a daily but will be tracked on the odd occasion so keeping it fairly mild. General plans str to give it abit of a tidy, the front bar could use a respray and the engine bay has some oxidation going on which I want to clean up, also probably re route the oil cooler to neaten up. Once that is done ill start with some mods.

It did come with a Tomei crate engine which i have some rough info on although im not 100% sure. Here are the specs i got from the internet.Would appreciate it if anyone had any more info on these?

Emissions 2597cc
Compression ratio 8.3
Maximum output of 500PS / 7500rpm

TOMEI Forged Pistons
TOMEI piston ring
TOMEI metal connecting rod
TOMEI Ponkamu A type (In260-9.15 / Ex252-9.15)
TOMEI valve spring
TOMEI valve guide
TOMEI Metal Head Gasket
TOMEI 555cc injectors
TOMEI ECU
TOMEI fuel pump
TOMEI oil gallery orifice

Thanks mate, its fairly neat, the interior is excellent aswell.

Plans are to tidy the engine bay up, respray the front bar due to a couple of marks and i want the n1 vents put in then once thats all done ill be buying some parts. Ive got a Bride ViosIII to go in from a previous car. Coilovers, HKS Kansai front strut brace, fujimura auto wing extension, ab flug front diffuser, are a few things i want first and then ill go for some performance upgrades down the track.

  • 2 weeks later...

scrap that, hks changed their availability on the hipermax's so went with tein monosports 10/8 .. a little firm but i dont mind that.

I picked the car up from compliance mid week, the clutch needs replacing asap so ordered a Nismo super coppermix twin plate. Initial impressions of the car are great, love how planted the gtr feels compared to my s15. It feels quite quick too so pretty interested to get in on a dyno and see what the tomei motor is putting out.

Heres a pic of my previous and s15 and the black one is my first one i had years ago.

can confirm the car does have HKS turbo's .. pretty sure they come with the tomei motor so im assuming theyre HKS2530 .. having trouble figuring out how to set the boost on the HKS evc3 but running 0.6 bar atm and it feels fairly quick.. a little laggy tho.

front guards arent rolled nor have liners been removed but its not very low. It was scrubbing in the front at that height so ive got other wheels on atm untill my coilovers come. Ill probably get the guards rolled.

Yeah as am i :) The spec sheet i got states a Tomei ECU but i dont know too much about it. Haha ill be keeping the standard seats in for daily duties.. the bride is way too annoying to get in and out of!

Thanks mate, as does yours.

I run 18.9.5+12 (Te37's) as well. I've got guard liners and no scrubbing.

If you're talking about handling, going via those pictures, your car is too low at the front anyway.

Car looks to be in great condition, congrats.

yeah the fronts way too low although i actually dont mind the front rake look but not to this extreme.. i dont plan to run this car very low but have some tein's on the way so ill even the height out.

Cheers guys. Yeah i regretted selling that s15.

yeah i know im going to have real trouble parting with mine if i can bring myself to do it and change to a bnr34. If only i was mega rich and had a property with a ten car garage. le sigh

i could be wrong but im pretty sure when you have the ride heights correct eg sydneykid spec you iirc end up with a bigger gap between front tyre and guard than you do at the back. We all know looks are greater than handling though especially on a street car haha

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
