GTR - Grand Touring Racecar? or something like that... i'm not sure...

basically you have

GTS - N/A 2.0L (R32) or 2.5L (R33)

GTSt - Single Turbo

GTS4 - 4WD N/A or Turbo

GTR - Race homologation model... basically made so that the car is allowed to race in production car races like the JGTC.

Then there's the GTE, GTX, GT-t and other specs depending on what model you look at...

and there's also sub-specifications like "Type M","Type S", "Type J" and "V-Spec", "V Selection" etc etc.

Confused?

but to answer your question, no the R in GTR dosen't mean it has an RB in it...

the First generation Skyline GTR in 1964, had a 2.0L DOHC 4 cylinder engine.

PGC10/KPGC10 - 1st generation GTR (1964)

KPGC110 - 2nd generation GTR (1972)

BNR32 - 3rd generation GTR (05/1989)

BCNR33 - 4th generation GTR (10/1993)

BNR34 - 5th generation GTR (1998?)

There probably will be another GTR later down the track... but as you can see how there was a hop from the KPGC110 to the BNR32, there will be a hop from the BNR34 to whatever it is, as rezz said when the technology changes.

Aaah you're talking about the PGC-10 GT-R aren't you? If you are, it was released in 1969 (not '64) and it had an S20 DOHC inline-6 (not 4 cyl.)

thanks rezz... oops sorry about the confusion... the engine was called a DOHC4, it was a 6 cylinder... the engine was developed in 1964, for the Prince R380 race car, and in 1967-68 it was loaded into the GT-B Skyline. Then raced in 1969 as the first GTR.

I could have my dates slightly wrong tho...

Type J is a specification for the N/A series, its like the class below the Type S.

There's also a Type X which is for 4 doors.

GTR actually stands for - Gran Turismo Racing

GTS stand for - Gran Turismo Sports

GTS-t stands for - Gran Turismo Sports turbo

Very interesting discussion keep it up.

Oh and the J's (Jacks) silvias are pretty rare over here as people who wanted a non turbo silvia always got Q's (queens) as the J's was the economy model and Q's was the optioned model.

The origins of the words Gran Turismo takes us back into the 17th and 18th century where European aristocrats traveled long distances across the continent in horse-drawn carriages. Today, the words Gran Turismo define a car designed and suited for long distance travel.

:spank: khookle ees yor frend

Also have you guys noticed recently as the drift crazy has hit town that J's silvia headlights, the poverty non projector style ones with the 2 square lights, are all the rage?

I think you will find that the car designation and motor designation are all coincidental. As I remember the R30 Skyline had an 'L' series engine, and the R31 had an 'RB' series engine or a 'CA20' engine when badged as a Pintara. The letters in front of the car designation are usually a quick guide to show what vehicle it is, as an example only: KMCR31. R31=chassis desination. 'K' might mean 4 door. 'M' might mean sedan as opposed to 4dr pillarless hardtop. 'C' might mean RB30 engine.

This is the way Nissan did it in the 70' and 80's so I assume they still do it now.

You haven't read the thread have you?
Just like the S15 - I've seen on Nissan Japan and Carview's websites, it's got the type as GF-S15. Both S13 and S14 appear as E-S13 & E-S14 on Carview's website.

The following is the meaning behind the name to some of nissan's cars - for those who is interested. You'll need babelfish for translation if u cant read japanese like me.  

http://www.nissan.co.jp/MUSEUM/CARNAME/index.html

The E and GF before a model indicates 1st and 2nd series afaik. Toyota use this too. I've been looking at Chasers, and they are E-JZX100 if they're a series 1, or a GF-JZX100 if they're a series 2.

I'm sure it stands for something as both Nissan and Toyota use it. Maybe some of the Japanese residents can help out here?

EDIT: Btw, it would be interesting to see if the S14A had a GF in front of its model code. If it did, then that would seem to validate my theory.

the E in the front of a car, like my E-HCR and the E-ECR33 designate that it was built using the renewed emssions standards. usually people don't say E-ECR33 because all R33's were built with the new emissions standards, wheras with some R32's they weren't and some were. No one really cares about the E in front to be honest, or maybe they just don't know what it is lol.

in toyotas I believe a 4AGE engine is before the emissions, and a 4AGEU was after the emission laws or something. I'm not too sure on my toyotas.

Perhaps the car manufacturers should explain these mystery alphabets..it could be some sort car manufacturer's code...or maybe just a random alphabet they thought up.

    • @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.
