hey all,  

Im thinking of selling my s15 and finally buying my dream car (r32 gtr). . . Few mates have told me companies import them from japan for you?? If so could anyone point me towards a website/phone number?  

cheers

Dude.... SEARCH! There is even a whole sub-forum dedicated to importation

don't listen to them! one owns a GTST and has a faggy looking avatar that is actually his self potrait :tool:, the other one owns an MR-2 what more needs to be said about him? :uhh:

Like Lwells said, look at the import forum. call www.prestigemotorsport.com.au or www.j-spec.com.au

to be honest you may have missed the boat on a cheap R32 GTR (due to new legislation) but you can still get one.

GTRs are tha shiznit. do it...

edit:silver and tosh, no offence intended, just protecting the GTR name! :uh-huh:

its ok i get the jealousy thing all the time

that's ok, at least it's a skyline. hell most places you go people will think it's a GTR anyway! it could be worse... you could own an MR-2.

if we are talking about a top shelf 89 GTR vs a top shelf S15 then yes I would.

well if its a top shelf 89 gtr then the year 89 would be irrelivant and i would choose the GTR too

but if we're talking about 2 stockers i would go for the s15 just for the peace of mind

How many "top shelf" '89 GTRs have you seen? :D :D

Going on a blanket rule, and judging by the condition of AVERAGE '89 GTRs and AVERAGE S15s, I'd take an S15 in a heartbeat.

That said, there are some very nice '89 GTRs, but they're much much much rarer than very nice S15s :)

Well obviously a car that's had 15 years of "average" treatment is not going to be as fresh as a car with only 1-4 years of equivalent treatment.

My 89 R32 GT-R is almost stock, but its in very good condition. S15 is sweet, but I wouldn't want to swap :D

Bingo.

That's exactly why unless it was an EXCEPTIONAL '89 GTR, I'd take the S15 over it without hesitation.

I can only talk about my experience. My friend has a very nice near stock S15 with low kays. I have an 89 GTR. No way in the world would I swap him. yes the S15 is newer. yes it's a more modern car with a much sleeker look. but it's not a GTR...

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @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.
