Gday All,

Well the time has finally arrived, I picked up my R32 GTS-t on Tuesday from Sydeny and got to give her a nice old run back to Canberra. Must say im pretty happy with it so far even though shes a bit rough around the edges. I have a few questions for you knowledgable minds and hopefully theres someone out there who can help me.

First one is to do with something i found printed on my ECU. There the words and numbers "Decide 226" printed on it and i have no idea what its meant to mean?!? Anyone got an idea?

Secondly I have a leaking exhasut gasket which im looking at replacing myself. Anyone have any advice in regards to this? i.e. should i even bother, is it gonna save me some cash, is it a bitch of a job etc. I did just pick myself up a copy of he engine workshop manual off ebay for $15 on cd so im hoping that will be of a help. I was informed by Southside Performance Imports in Sydney that i could manage it myself, even though it wil require removing the turbo, sound about right?

Lastly im currently having an issue with starting it, this being that it wont start since yesterday arvo. I turn the ignition and try and start it and it wont even turn over, it just does nothing. However all my electrics are still working including turbo timer, boost controller even the Air Con. Im a bit baffled by this one and im positive it isnt the battery as its brand spanking new last week.

Anyway this is my first post and it a sorta big one so i hope you all made it this far.

Any help on any of these would be great, cheers.

Exhaust gasket I wouldn't worry about doing unless it is a major leak. Quite a few parts need taking off to get to it and unless it really needs to be done it isn't causing any damage. It will get worse over time but mine has been ticking due to a small leak for over 6 months now and it hasn't gotten any worse.

The wording on the ECU could mean anything, I have some really funky stickers on mine too but nfi what it means.

Not sure about the starting issues sorry.

Congrats on getting the beast though. Hopefully it doesn't reach into your wallet every time you look at it like mine does.

Yeh thanks mate, its already hitting the back pocket a bit but i expected that.

About the gasket, its pretty bad. It makes a real loud screaming noise when the turbo comes onto boost. It defintely needs to be fixed as its screwing up the max boost point. At the moment it doesnt reach max boost till about 5000 rpm which sucks. The ECU bit is what i thought just some crazy japanese thing probably. Gotta have a bit more of a look at the starting problem too.

Thanks for your help anyway.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
