Rez's R32 GTS-t Type M... presentable version!


Recommended Posts

Ikeda: We have everything... dyno, A/F, knock sensor etc... no problems. I thought you could do F-Con V... anyway, an F-Con S is still better than standard so I'll choose that for the time being if you can tune it. I hope Troy can get time off!!! :)

Dino: Cooling hasn't been too bad actually (to my suprise). We had 35 degrees today, but the temp guage was hovering just under halfway... pretty good fans behind the radiator I think :(

Whats the handling like with the tires stretched so much?

Didn't get a chance to drive it... the front rims were contacting the helper springs on the coilovers. I'd say sidewall flex won't be an issue though :)

Justin, the car looks like it's coming along great.

Alot of work but certainly paying off.

As Ikerii has said, I maybe here longer than expected.

However I'll be back this weekend for a week, I guess we could all hook up in about another month's time, that's when I hope to take a short break.

What's your mobile? Email it to me. We'll talk then.

Here are some pics with the body kit on:

The kit was supposed to be a Vertex copy one, but when I picked the car up it had a 'Wise Sports' front bumper on... meh, it looks ok I guess. The front suspension issue will get fixed on Thursday, so the full set of 19x9.5s will be on then. After that... a full respray, with newly painted wheels, aero mirrors, carbon bonnet, carbon boot lid... and if my younger brother ok's it... CARBON DOORS :P

The enlarged front 'mouth' gives the whole R32 'face' a real 'Whaleshark-like'

Apologies for asking this question again...but you should start seliing those front lips. I have tried a few times to buy one...and it seems the only way to get one is to buy direct from Japan :angry:

Is there actually someone in perth who can tune the f-con. About to leave japan and head to perth with my gts4. Buying some goodies to throw at it when I arrive, was looking at the f-con but..... Any info appreciated. Can get a full e-manage kit for 40,000 yen so might opt for that if no one can do the f-con.

P.S. whats the "Ikeda" about. Im sitting at work in Ikeda-shi right now <_<

I doubt you're living in the Ikeda I'm talking about... :) he's my mate, and also the Japan section of my parts business "K's Garage".

As for tuning F-Cons in Perth, no one car afaik, so just go the emanage or PowerFC.

Yeh, was going to say "i'm in Ikeda now" but thought you may have been talking about someone!

Thanks for the info

Here are pics with the S13's suspension almost done. I say almost because it's still not sitting the way I want it... long story but I assure you it will be perfect at the end of next month.

It looks better than when I bought it at least... :(

IMO perfect offset... you've *got to* be able to read the tire size and brand from this angle... if you can't, then take it home to mamma :lol:

Prolly the best shot.

It will go into the paint shop on Monday, so these are the last pics of the S13 in it's white colorscheme. After that, theres probably a months worth of tidying up and detail work with alot of carbon fibre and other secret stuff...

now that you have the front rims on how does it handle?

As you can imagine theres no 'give' in the tires whatsoever, so the already stiff Tein HR's are now complimented by rock solid 19" boots... I wouldn't like to use this wheel/tire combo on anything but city streets. But my brother and I got these specifically for demo-car duties outside our shop, so they'll probably get changed for some proper 18" lightweight rims later on this year when we start to get into some track work.

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
