R32 GTB-4 look-alike @ Homebush/Silverwater

Hey all,

Today I saw an R32 GTB-4 look-alike as I was turning off Silverwater Rd and heading towards Homebush. The driver looked around late 30's to early 40's, with a beard and maybe glasses. And I'm sure he noticed me checking out his car as I came around the corner. It looked like he had a full car, too. He was heading the other way, about to turn right onto Silverwater Rd coming from Homebush (maybe leaving the AutoSalon)... I was in my green Corolla with an SDU sticker on my windscreen.

The car:

As I mentioned, it looked like a GTB-4 - Gunmetal Grey R32 4-door, GT-R grille and bonnet (and possibly front guards, didn't have time to see properly), what looked like GT-R wheels (but could well have been GTS-t wheels painted in the same colour as the body), GT-R rear spoiler, and in really nice condition.

:eek: :jump: :D

I only noticed it was a 4-door at the last moment, and in disbelief had to do a double-take in my rear-view mirror after I'd gone past.

Is this you? If it is, this is the first time I've seen ANY Skyline look as good as this. Would you be willing to part with this car? As much as Black, Silver and Gunmetal are at the bottom of my list of colours to get, I really think I could be swayed with this particular car... As far as looks go, this is exactly how I intend my (hopefully not-too-far in the future) car to look when it's done - super slick yet very understated.

Cheers,

Nick

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
