Hey guys,

Attached are some pics of an R32 GTR still in Japan, just wondering if you guys can tell me about the goodies its got......particularly in the engine bay (those 2 long pipes...etc) also that metal piece in front of the FMIC connected to a hook like thing, and also the gadgets inside, rims etc

Cheers,

Ali

The bracket and the hook are not actually connected (imo). The hook is for towing the car from a racetrack and the bracket is for mounting the licence plate off to the side.

The Apexi kit looks like an RSM, the PFC controller is in front of the clock and the Carrozzeria amp is the same as Pioneer. It looks kinda funny having a roll-cage and an amp in the car - identity crisis! :P

Also looks like an aftermarket radiator.

And I agree with Mick, that colour looks brilliant!

Drift warrior or racer, but hopefully mods have been done properly. I'd say ABS, etc have been removed to reduce weight. Engine runs at least (it's running in the last 2 photos). Looks to have a radiator cap on the power steering reservior (???). No fan shroud, which from memory is an unroadworthy item in Vic (?? - well it used to be, but might have changed). No rear seat so you'll have to register it as a 2-seater if you want to keep the cage. Wonder what that box is in front of the battery.....oil coooler.

Anyway, good luck with it, looks clean :P

Std intercooler, std brake calipers. Looks to have a Power Fc Boost Controller, or could possibly have an AVC-R tucked away somewhere, but most likely a Pfc Bosot COntroller Kit.

Has Splitfire coils, adjustable brake bias, aftermarket radiator...llooks liek it will be something to enjoy at the track:)

Interesting....mines definately different - it's black with wires for the fluid level sensor (I thought they all had that.....every stock Jap spec one I've seen has).

hmm now that you mention it... that sounds familiar... wires coming out of it... haha I'm not sure now! :P

the box in front of the battery is the catch tank, not an oil cooler.

like the boy said it has:

splitfires

hard pipe kit

oil catch tank

no abs

a/m radiator

PowerFC + boost control kit

cage

lot's of gauges and an Apexi RSM

it has a cusco master cylinder stopper

also Troy, I'm pretty sure that what you think is a brake bias adjuster is just one of the old Tomei manual boost control valves. dunno why it's still there, they probably just left it there when they installed the apexi gear.

the metal thing on the front bumper is actually two things. 1 is a number plate mount the other is an aftermarket tow hook (has one on the back too).

It's a boy racers car. no dobut. providing it has been well maintained (which it may not have been) it could be quite a nice car.

Could quite be a genuine Nismo edition. May just be a copy but there isn't ABS and there soesn't appear to be anything aitcon related in the engine. The fact it has just the single lip spoiler can always be imitated and rear wing removed though.

i doubt its a NISMO one cos it still has the rear windscreen wiper (altho wiper part looks to be removed) and still has the a/c lines.

would seem funny to remove the ABS to save weight when you install a dirty big amp! haha dont some come without ABS?

and i am pretty sure they are standard afms.

Thanks for the feedback guys!! I def. like the colour...makes my Gun Metal Grey one like rather bland....

Well i'm definantly getting it, as I recently got an import approval for 89 Nissan Skyline and 90 Mitsubishi GTO...........so can still import under the old rule, import approval is granted on these conditions:

Section 20(1)(B) of the Motor Vehcile Standards Act, on the basis that the vehicle:

-was manufactured before 1 January 1989; or

-was manufactured before 1 January 1991; and

-that you made a financial commitment and purchased the vehicle prior to 7 February 2005;

-and the application to import was made before 1 January 2006: and

- that the vehicle was 15 or more years old at the time of the application to import was made......

Yay!!! :P

also Troy, I'm pretty sure that what you think is a brake bias adjuster is just one of the old Tomei manual boost control valves. dunno why it's still there, they probably just left it there when they installed the apexi gear.

.

LOL..could be, i thought it read Tilton, could be Tomei:) Have a look at he side engine bay pic and look at the master cylinder. See where the compression fitting normally goes into the cast base, if you look above it...

There appears to be a line running back towards the drivers rear view? I dont think that std...anyone else comment?

    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
