Gh05t's 32 Gtr Daily Cleanup

[GH05T]

FIIIIIIIInally got the car tinted. why i didn't do that before summer i do not know.

anyway when they guys were tinting it they found that the top of the window was no longer sealing.

i knew the rubber was coming up, but the actual sealant between the window and glass has failed. water would be coming through it this winter OR, it would pop out... that would not be coos as its a genuine wiperless window and irreplaceable.

top ruber just falling away, would not reseat at all.


bottom edgings are shit aswell.


i plan to paint the car or at least roof at some point so i will be ordering a full set of genuine rubbers, seals and surrounds at that point, but for now i just need to make it functional.

window out, quick rust check, there are a couple of little spots but nothing that cant wait untill the proper paint.

this is the corner that failes, rust spot

We cleaned it all up and put some treatment on it and resealed it all up properly.

new seal



un sure what i want to do at the base, i have ran the seal under the old metal frames, i will be re-using these when i get genuine seals, but for now i have just left the tabs overlapping the new rubber, the only way it can be blended and sealed without genuine bits. it will do for now.

[WantGTR]

genuine seals can be bought from RHD Japan, try Amayama for a cheaper price perhaps. just make sure you are sitting down.

[GH05T]

yeah i have them bookmarked, still worth it when you pay for a respray and labour ect.

[GH05T]

the little misfire reared it ugly head again, so i decided to rip open the afms,

the solder looked fine tbo, didn't seem cracked or loose.

but i re soldered them anyway, i honestly added the smallest amount of solder, and resealed them back up.

this is a shit job, cutting away sealant and trying to reseal them without it looking shit house.

but yeah, misfire completely gone, so happy when simple things work.

Most definitely. A cousin just had his car resto'd and did all door/window rubbers. So totally worth it!

[GH05T]

This happened yesterday

[Robzilla32]

So flex?

[Anfanee]

Surprised you got the rear window out without it breaking.

They break just by looking at them the wrong way.

[Anfanee]

Ahh no rear wiper... That helps.

[Anfanee]

Also E85 is magic.... Just saying lol

[GH05T]

haha, yeah their allot easier to tint without the wiper too

Flex fuel... maby, not for now.

remembering im still running a stock motor, stock turbos, stock injectors....for now.

pulled the spark plugs out for new ones, they are about 2+years old and looked healthy which is nice.

Josh at forge was nice enough to get me the haltech so we hooked it up. its got the tune from his stock gtr so it was drivable, feels sharper already, it will be booked in for a tune with Garage7 to get it up and boogieing. then I will look at new turbos-dumps-fuel pump-injectors - maby a new cam - yada yada... at that point I will look into flex.

it is no longer a daily so I can deal with the availability and added maintenance, so I should...

must resist using antilag with stock turbos

im very interested in the tune difference with the same boost from stock computer to the haltech. im not expecting more highend realistically but keen on the midrange. I will report back once its done to compare.

[WantGTR]

madddddd. be sure to report on how many unicorn powers the car makes after full tune.

[mr_rbman]

Looking good Glyn

[GH05T]

Thanks man,

I'm eagerly awaiting a time i can get it into Garage7 for a proper tune, very keen to drive it finally knowing it has a proper tune. Up until now it has had its MINES ecu, while it had the 8000rmp rev limit on the box you just never know what its actually tuned for. like I said im not expecting more power specifically as I will essentially be running the same boost (depending of the AFRs it yields) of about 12-13 psi.

It made 258 rwkw last time which was quite respectable for stock everything except exhaust and pods.

im more hoping for the midrange and the sharpness and general driveability without being a rich pig like it was, and of course having the safety features the HALTECHs have so I can give it more without worrying so much.

just waiting for a booking now.....

[CRSKmD]

I approve of this update. can't wait to hear results!

[GH05T]

damn tune had to be moved to the 10th .... damn Anzac day deleted my day off which I didn't realise.... le sigh...

maby I should take this time and put a fuel pump injectors and a cam in it...................... you know...... for good measure...

[NISR32.5]

Car looks good mate. Don't spend any more money yet, start saving for the rebuild hahahaha

[GH05T]

don't you go jinxing me man

[k_d]

A cam? Needs two mate

Is it still standard fuel pump and injectors?
