ah k, that's not as bad as i was thinking. ya, i've got hks cams, but not too sure about cam gears.

thanks for the reply,

Regards,

Shaun

oh yeah, and another thing, how does it drive on the road? i mean, if you're just driving normal and not wanting to go on boost, is it alright to drive? i'm just wondering how it's going to go as a daily driver... hehe, i'm sure ppl will get a scare once i rev up to 5500 :P

driving daily its very good, wont come on boost untill you want it to, its a good kit as its got a big kick at about 5000 but still drives smoothly untill and over 5000.

sweet, sounds great! i'm looking forward to driving it when it arrives. I appreciate your help,

Shaun

oh yeah, one more thing - how much power has ur 32 got? also, if you've ran it down the quarter, what time did you get? Cheers.

heya all,

i'm getting a R32 GTR with a T78-33D and was just wondering what sort of lag should i expect? Anyone know at what rpm full boost will arrive? Any help would be great,

Regards,

Shaun

An excellent buy too, i saw the car on J-Spec

about 400kw@wheels every day and 450 when i go racing and the car has run 10.8 ( notice how i didnt write i raced the car))

And I think its also a fair comment that there is a fair bit of work to get the car to run a time like this...........

damn, that's hefty as! sweet! now i cannot wait till it lands... hopefully should be here within 3-4 weeks. i'll update you guys when it lands, cheers for the replies.

Morgs - yeah, definately need fair bit of work to be able to run that much power. but, from the mods listed it looks as if it would be able to handle a lot.

This the one I take it :rofl:. Looks like it could be a monster. Would be interesting to know what the owner used it for.. I am inclined to think drag (though the condition is very good apart from the paint). Wonder if there are any mount points for a cage?

LW.

Looks like a very good car for the price. I have seen some in much worse condition sell for not much less. Best of luck with it.

A friend just bought one with similar mods, but larger T88 turbo, that was already landed here.

yep, that's the one. well, apparently the owner did not race it (apparently). He said he accelerated hard every now & again while using it as a daily driver. But, how much of that are you going to believe...

Yeah, i think it looks too much 'sleeper like' for a jap car. I mean, there's 2 little gauges on the left of the steering wheel, boost controller & turbo timer below it... just doesnt look like it was raced. I mean, nearly every heavily mod'd gtr in jap has a roll cage, so it's odd how this one doesn't. BUT, what can you tell by pictures, might've been removed for all we know. But the mechanical inspection said nothing about a cage, so i don't know.

NXTIME - yeah, thanks man. i just hope everything goes sweet with it.

Jolinator - in the list it says 'aftermarket computer', so it's not just running the SAFC

The 'HKS Drag Meet' stickers suggest he probably did accelerate every now and then :rofl: LOL.

LW.

hehe yeah, that's what the mechanical inspector said "owner states that it wasn't use for race... except those stickers on the side tell me differently" thought they're dated a few years ago, i think it looks ok. Most race cars that i've seen through j-spec have cages, monster gauges all down pillar, racing harness, warn driver seat or aftermarket bucket seat, body not in good order, etc. This one looks great (except for the front guard and roof), and the mechanic said "it drove extremely well, and it's tuned excellent". I just hope he is reliable...

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
