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

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
