Hey guys,

im new to the forum, and owning a R32 GTS aswell :)

Ive been skimming through the forums and seems that people just love helping out others so i thought id see if i can get some too.

Been having a few weird problems with my car, and i need to get them fixed as i have been putting it off for the last month or so. I was wondering if there is a mechanic (s) anyone could reccomend on the northern beaches , manly area. Or if anyone wants to try fix the probs themselves feel free LOL.

Heres a quick run through of the problems im having:

Can barely ever start the car 1st turnover, and i have to give it gas aswell.

Sometimes when just idling, the car will turn off, and i have alot of trouble starting it again.then once i do, it will keep doing the same thing, so the only way i can drive the car while it is like this is to keep the revs above 1 grand else the car will stall again. then next time i get in the car again like the next day its back to normal again.

Usually when the car is stuffing up i can smell fuel too real strong inside the car. every now and then i can smell fuel when its just driving aswell.

Brand new coil packs, and irridium spark plugs have been fitted

"apparenty" when i bought the car it JUST had a brand new fuel pump fitted.

Fuel pressure has been tested, and seems to be ok, but maybe needs to be re tested?.

after the 1st time turning it on in the mornings etc, when i turn it back to acc the car

makes this "woop" then a "groan" noise from the engine bay, then after that it ususally starts.

So thats about it! Any Help would be greatly appreciated, ive been battling this stuff for quite a while now.

Thanks

Jacob

We're all based on the Northern Beaches and our next get together is this weekend (two cars getting FMIC put in). Feel free to contact me for more details, you can come down and have a chat or find out what's going on with your 32 (one of the guys has a 32 down here).

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:

      R34 manual conversion speed signal wire finding, need help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).

      And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
