Hi Guys,

I'm looking at an R32 GTR for sale in Glenroy VIC.

Is their anyone down that area that you guys could recommend to have a look over the car and provide a decent report of the mechanical condition of the car?

Anyone on here with enough experience could also be valued.

Many Thanks,

Tom

well if the owner is willing to take it to a shop to insepct we have a nice list of shops people have used in the past:

If you need onsite then stateroads has been used by many members as well.

Yeah have used state roads for basic inspection, was good with measuring things like paint thickness and other basic observations and you can even talk to the inspector via phone

For more detail though, which you really want with a R32 GTR being old and potentially in need of a fair bit of TLC mechanically, head to Racepace - they will go over it, have done it for me before and much more detailed in the mechanical side.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
