Just thought I might buy another GT-R after a 10 year hiatus building career and not touching cars after I sold my GT-R in 2007 for 26K?.  These numbers are insane, while I now have financial security I doubt I can convince myself to part with double the money for something similar.  Perhaps a 33 or 34 GT-R is an option instead if they haven't gone bananas as well  :down:  

There used to be 40+ 32 GT-Rs for sale in QLD, now its about 5 on carsales.  Are we really exporting all these to the yanks similar to Japan once was to us back in my day? or are they being crashed or hoarded since I last looked?

A lot of the ones on car sales have been there for a fair while so either they r shit and over priced or people are not prepared to pay the prices

Edward Lees cars with dodgy history have to resurface somewhere sometime.

R34s are worse than R33s in terms of price jumps. R33s are climbing as well, but better to buy a 33 IMO.

Have never liked the 33's but the numbers are starting to win me over.  No R32's worth looking at under $35,000, but there seems to still be a few good deals for 20-30K for R33 GTR's.  Surely you cant go too wrong with a well picked 33 especially when they start being imported to the USA in a few years.

R33 chassis is better than the R32. You can see the improved structural and aero bits. In hindsight, I should've waited a year and bought an R33 GT-R lol.

You would be in the minority to pick an R33 GTR over an R32 GTR..

Re Chassis:- Kurosawa explained this quite clearly as he compared the R32 GT-R to the R33 GT-R prior to taking the latter around Nurburgring in 8'01". 

The R32 GT-R could never get close to that.

i love my R32 and wouldnt swap it for a 33.

however im seriously thinking about buying a good R33 GTR while their cheap.

I'd be lying if I said that thought hadn't crossed my mind too......I'm just in the same boat (excuse the pun ;) ) as most other 32/34 fans, the 33 has never done it for me, only the series 3 midnight purple gets the juices flowing somewhat...

In terms of looks, nostalgia etc, R32 always. But the R33 is a better engineered car (since they had time to improve on things). If only it wasn't so bloated looking :(

Plus, the R32 electronics shit me lol damn HICAS.

Ahem...
R33 GT-Rs are perfect looking in front of a convex mirror! :)

$145k? I realise that it is worth whatever someone wants to pay but are prices really getting that high?

I'm pretty sure a few months ago this car was forsale for $66k. not sure what happened.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • 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.
