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 :)

35 degrees....uhmmm.....that sounds sooo good.

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... :(

suspension0003.jpg

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:

suspension0002.jpg

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.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
