mate calm down I’m just wondering as yours is the first I’ve seen 

Completely calm - there are a few of us on here with TH1 and thought everyone was aware of GTR registry. TH1 dark blue pearl is second most rare colour above the rarest BL0, at less than 1% and less than 150 produced.

You didn't live through the 2000s? They were on every street corner. About 1 per every 10 metallic red ones, to be sure, but nonetheless.

Yeah but AH3 metallic red in GTR is still more at about double the TH1 production. Never seen a BL0 in the flesh though.

What the hell are you talking about ? According to GTR registry 1145 R32 GTR were released in TH1, with more than half of these being in the 89 - 91 bracket.

It's definitely rare and not a common colour in a GTR, but hardly out of existence rare.

Had mine for nearly 14 years now.

You might want to check distance to Alice (from everywhere!) before you drop by...

Not really, just some people don't research anything before they ask Duncan in general on this forum these days. If you had found out there were 1145 GTR in a specific colour would you really expect ALL of them to be extinct and ask the same question ? There are 3 in the build threads on the first couple of pages in TH1, so probably why I thought it was a bit of a stupid question.

Anyway..... if I offended anyone in anyway I sincerely apologize - I'm am here to help and in no way here to upset anyone. Hope everyone is having a good Easter.

When did you buy it mate? What else did they tell you about the car?

Did they tell you it will attract chicks cos that's a lie, everyone knows gtr's attract the blokes. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Still, sorry there mate, you asked without obviously attempting to even Google how many of an XYZ GTR was even produced when you yourself own one. If you did, GTR registry would have given you a starting point of information before the need to ask. They way you asked if any were in existence implied a fair bit of non research.

BK

I do obviously know & realise how many GTR’s were made & in what colours, I’m clearly only wondering which TH1 Blue ones still exist & have stood the test of time with it being 25+ years since built.

You obviously don’t get my question angle
 

Alright, now everyone can settle the hell down.

New posters are welcome on this forum, and prior knowledge is not a pre-requisite.

Please welcome new people and share knowledge with them, as each of us learned when we joined and over our time here.

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
