Hello all,

Ive been lurking around for awhiles now as i havent had much to say, but my r32 gts4-t arrived in my driveway yesterday morning after a small wait (oct build, so only a couple months) and ive now got some questions about it.. :)

1. a few of the electricals dont work (rear window wiper, blinkers, sunroof), ive checked the fuses in the engine bay, and the ones in the cabin just under the drivers dash and they all seem fine - are there any other places of fuses?

2. im doing some complience work to save on cash and am in need of ADR standard seat belts. Ive read the DIY Complience thread and his engineer just yanked the jap ones to pass them? has anyone used a set from another car (perhaps aus standard r33?) for this problem?

3. Child restraints - Ive picked some up ($5 from wreckers for three) and looking for a place to put them. i didnt find any holes 'behind the speakers' as the DIY thread suggested :D - has anyone had to make their own holes for this or am i just blind?

4. Spolier Control, i have these two buttons, one with spoiler up and the other with just 'down' on it. i read that these will move the front spoiler about, but mine doesnt. i heard a buzz while my mate pushed it and i listened, but that was all. - just how much is it meant to move at what speed? slowly??

Any suggestions are appreciated :D

Shaun.

The spoiler sits just behind the lower part of your front bar.....however they often seize up from not being used (I had one that only one side went down)......my suggestion is to remove it.....they do nothing and they are DAMN heavy!!!

As far as compliance is concerned.......I would suggest speaking directy to your engineer as he/she will be able to ACCURATELY inform you of the ruling and guidlines to follow. DO NOT rely on the info in the DIY thread alone as different states require different things (eg: some states you are able to retain the Jap belts others you can't)

Good luck, hope you have alot of fun in your new car.

well he is in QLD, I'm in QLD.. you're in QLD.

You'll have to look into that electrical problem, as the wipers, indicators, etc are roadworthy items and will need to be fixed anyhow.

child restraints.. just drill them just behind the speaker holes.. They have to be in the center of the seating positions. You will need to rivet them in as well as I believe the standard bolt is not enough for strength.

In QLD I believe changing the seat belts in mandatory as one compliancer I spoke to said this is necessary (whether this was to pretend it was hard work to compliance the car i don't know - suspect) .. I am installing ADR ones anyhow.

Anyhow, I am on getting mine on the road and registered by the end of this month. As I find out various info, I'll post it in the DIY compliance thread.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.

      Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...

      No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.

      You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever

      Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
