Wow, where to start...

this thread of links in the maintenance forum would be a good first call. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=35442

A biggie that you may overlook in your haste to get "going" is to make sure there will be no problem stopping!!

i.e. CHECK BRAKE PADS and FLUSH BRAKE FLUID and bleed brakes.

Hope you have the finances to afford to run a GTR as well as buy it....

i took the day off work so i could be here for when my car came.. and it didnt even come!

i called and apparently its coming tommorow morning now.

congrats anyhow..

just make sure it does *have* oil, has coolant, has brake fluid - then its more than likely you're not going to kill yourself or the car.

I still haven't done all the servicing for mine as it had the above. I figured if it was sitting there for 3-4 months going nowehere, another month of not being serviced going not going anywhere wouldn't matter. Its not like I can drive it anywhere at the moment anyhow.

I was just happy because I fiddled with everything, and everything *worked* (except the aircon... think gas). It's always those minor little things that don't work properly that give you the shits and can be hard to diagnose. That was the best part, knowing that it wasn't an obvious lemon :(

i think somebody unplugged the afm so that nobody could flog it before it got to me.. cuz i thouught mine was broken cuz it wouldnt hit boost.. its all good now...

had to keep starting it with a charger.. .

it came full of fresh oil, the paint is perfect, sounds great up to 4500rpm.. (thats all i took it too)

    • Awesome to know. I have a Series 1, and When pulling my front bumper off for the first time i realised my reo/crash bar was a bit worse for wear, and was going to try pick up a better one soon just so i can replace it. Someone is selling a full series 2 front bar and brackets for a decent price, so was going to probably reuse my brackets and install the new second hand reo/crash bar. I also have a genuine Altia body kit to do up, spray and put on, and not sure if that will use the series 1 or series 2 brackets for the front bumper, so having both will be handy, and knowing i can drill holes out to make stuff fit between series is also handy to know!
    • I should also say that the while they are different the only parts that matter are the center headlight supports and center bar from S1 to S2. The center bar will work, but the S1 has holes that clips go through into the S1 bumper. So if you were super cheap you could simply drill the S2 bar. Same thing with the side/wings. They have slightly different 'clips' but can be made to work. The center headlight brackets however, cannot. This is also where the GTR differs, which has a different center bar, and different headlight supports (to either GTT system), it also has different 'wing' headlight supports which is what I am calling under the headlight. However those CAN be made to work with the GTT Reo for a GTR front bar by a small spacer and a drill/tapping a thread into the reo because the bolt positions are slightly different. So people only really need the center brackets to go between GTT S1, GTT S2, and GTR if you are happy to do some tinkering.
    • Indeed  😃  Appears the site is back up now (migrated not updated) - kudos @funkymonkey & @PranK
    • If this, then this You can't really get away without it. There are hacks that you can do in Nistune, but things are much easier with the sensor than without it. If you're not planning to Nistune the ECU, then stop right now and add it to your plan anyway, because the ECU is going to shit the bed over the missing ABS and TC computers that it expects to see, and you need Nistune to stop it chucking all its toys over the side of the crib.
    • hey guys, so ive done a complete +t conversion using mostly stock parts on my rb20de neo r34.  Im wanting to know if a boost pressure sensor is needed? Seems like the engine cuts out when i try to do a pull and I have a feeling its because a boost pressure sensor is missing. I'm using a stock r34 rb25det neo ecu.
