Hey everyone, got my new ride about 3 weeks ago and finally got around to posting some pics up! Its an 89 R32 GTR wich I bought of a good mate of mine, with 117,xxx km's on the clock, it had a new paint job about a year ago resprayed in the factory colour midnight blue, for a car of its age its in unreal condition, with not much wear and tearmarks of other cars i've seen this old.

These things are addictive! I can see myself wasting thousands on this car, but damn is it fun!!

Mods include;

Blitz Pod kit with stainless mesh pods

HKS Suspension

HKS SSQ Bov

HKS Turbo timer

N1 3" Exhaust

Exceedy Extra heavy duty clutch/flywheel

M's Factory T-Bac III EBC

Omori Boost gauge

Z-Sports 320kmp/h Dash

Work VS 3 piece 17x9.5 Rims

Nismo high pressure radiator/oil caps & gear knob

Clear Blinkers (apparently very very rare)

Larger injectors I ' think ' (yellow tops on them)

Here are some pics on my dodgy digi cam! :)

I saw this doing boost skids up a small street, kinda near the bowling ally.. :D Sounds tough. Good buy Matt. I was going to turn around, but got a ghey red light.

Haha yeah probly me, you put your foot down and it just spins and chirps away like its no big deal, this car is damn fun to drive! What car do you have at the moment?

Mud; I dont know about the track yet, it neeps an ecu and more suspension / braking upgrades before I take it to the track, though I will hopefully be taking down the 1/4 mile in a couple of weeks.

WazR32GTSt; I didt realise GTR's in this colour where rare, cool! :D

you will need more than that before you take it out to track..... all oil cooler and oil sump if you wish to prolong the life of the rb26.

nice colour though :rofl:

I never understood why some of the nicest colours on skylines are also some of the rarest?? Like red in R33s you would think would be a very common colour choice when people were buying them new, but they;re rare as anything. Also midnight blue and purple pearl - very very rare but everyone likes the colours...makes no sense - if I was buying a new GT-R I wouldn't just take whatever the dealer had in stock I'd say "no, I want one in purple pearl and if it takes a month for you to get one then it takes a month...."

Thanks for all the kind words guys! Cyhper i saw your old 33 on thursday night, what a rig!!!! That car gave me wood, niz33 was on his way back from getting it or something and called into 180sx_dogg's place to show us, i wouldn't have sold that car!

I'm thinking of swapping the work rims for a set of r34 GT-R rims, thoughts anyone? yes or no?

R34 Rims would look nice on it. Plus they look good polished or grey or white so you can change the color when u get bored with them :cheers:

Yeah i am glad matt bought it though rather then someone i don't know. I will be replacing it with something different eventually.... won't be as much of a straight line car though.

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
