i have the r32 gtst manual (25447kb) do you still need it?

That would be grouse mate, I would love to get my hands on it as I'm just goin through all service and mild improvements every weekend bit by bit and it does help when you know where is what. Do I still need Acrobat 7.0 do get it of ya? ;)

:blink: Thank you , Thank you, Thank you

Links you are legend, Thank you and all other guys who contributed to crankroom manuals being available for download.

I nominate LINKS to be imortal member of SAU!!! ;) Cheers

Hi All,

I've recently bought my skyline! I just love it - a black, R33 GTS25T and lowered. Have got to say that is one good manual site...just wished I'd seen it before I bought mine about a week ago :ph34r:

Anyways it's probably been asked before, but since my car didn't have an insturction manual, there were two questions I had: Thx in advance

1) I was wondering if it was normal for the HICAS light to come on and the go off a second or so after starting up the car. It never comes on while driving.

2) My oil pressure light stays on for about 2 seconds and then goes off which is when the needle on the oil pressure gauge starts to move when I start up the car..this is normal right? As far as I know, the oil pressure levels vs. RPM are ok as far as I can tell...am I being paranoid?

They are nice cars!

Cheers fellas!

Most cars run through a self diagnostic when they start up.. it's when they don't light up you get worried :(..

nah it's normal.. hicas & abs & oil will all come on.. than go off.. oil should go up to about 6 until it's warmed up.. than head down to about 2 - 4 operating pressure..

glad you enjoy the manuals..

Phew, thats reassuring! Since when I checked it out, my mate who was with me at the time was getting more excited than the dealer! Took it for a short drive and before I realised it he's encouraging me to leave a deposit :D

Anyway, I'm pretty broke atm but eventually I want to put a cat back exhaust system in and a direct cold air intake. I heard that's supposed to put power up into the 200+ kW @ the flywheel alone! I want the car to still sound the way it does now though..kinda like a low growl...subtle but nice.

After that, tint the windows, put a nice pair of seats in like Duncan's and a proper head unit...and a new bonnet with a subtlely stylish but functional scoop to lower under bonnet temp.

Really want to change the oil and oil filter along with the spark plug and fuel filter myself but that might take a bit of developing my knowledge first!

Well, thats the excited ramblings of a new owner for now.

Cheers,

AF

all of those are pretty easy to do yourself, have fun!

thanks for the uploads Links, been looking for a while...

No worries Joh - AF man.. don't look @ the fly - count @ the rear wheels :P..

As for spark plugs and so forth - depends on what year the car is... everyone recommends oil + filter + spark plug change- depending on where you get it from if it's just been compliance oil + filter should have been done..

Good luck with it..

Thanks guys for the tips! But guess what? I was late for work one day and I swung my car into a tight park between another guy's car and the steel support beams...guess which one I hit??

It was the post - on my left rear panel just after the door :D Now I've got this mad scratch about 30cm lond and 15cm wide that looks like a giant car was sharpening its claws on the side of my car...it was barely one week old at the time :):D

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
