Hello All!

Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum and just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I recently purchased a 1989 R32 GT-R after MANY years of waiting for the right time and the right car. I couldn't be more excited! It's been quite a few years since my last project car, and I can't wait to get started on this one! I live in Arizona-USA, and there are not a lot of good US based forums, and I've been trying to make as many contacts and get as much information as I can before getting started on the car. I have a friend that owns a 1990 R32 GT-R and he speaks very highly about this forum and its members so here I am!

I've attached a few pictures of my car if anyone wants to check it out.....unfortunately, I just got the car so all the pics are from the dealer I purchased it from.

See you all around the forums!

Thanks guys!  I'm not sure what the long term goal will be.  For now ,  I want to go through the entire car front to back and take care of any minor cosmetic / mechanical issues I may find.  one of the first this will probably be seats since the car came with mismatched fronts.

The car came with a factory passenger seat, but the driver seat was some no name full bucket.  I'd like to to aftermarket, but a pair of non-airbag R43 seats would be nice too.  I'm currently considering a set of Bride Euroster II's but I'm unsure of how they will fit and what kind of head room it will give me.

I've looked over all the measurements for the Euro's and the Bride type MO rails.  I'm positive they will fit in the car and I'm positive I'll fit in the seat.  The big unknown is how much higher they will sit from stock.  I've heard that the Bride bottom mount rails sit unusually high in most Nissan vehicles.  I really want to make double sure before dropping 2k on seats from JPN.

It will depend what rails you get, you can get the Bride Type-LR which is a low style, but they wont fit the Euroster's, have you considered the Gias II or the Stradia II, the are both a low mount seat so they should give you more head room over the stock GTR seats

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
