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... :(

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.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
