Hey everyone what's up.

Well first let me say HI all the way from Ontario, Canada. I'm glad the weather is nice for you guys becasue we have a foot of snow on the ground and it's going down to -15C tonight with the windchill. :D

Anyway I belong to local Skyline board in my area and so far I have'nt been able to get any concrete answers to some questions I have and I'm hoping that maybe here I'll get the answers I need.

I'm going to be purchasing a 1990 R32 GTS-t in the new year :D . It's bone stock which is a great base to start my project with as I'm almost assured it was'nt abused by some drifting kid in Japan. Here are a couple of pic's of the actual car. These were taken in Japan but the car is here in Canada now in my buddies shop just waiting for me.

I just wanted a few questions answer and hopefully I'll get them here.

1. GTR hood and grill on a GTS-t? - Does the hood fit right on or do I have to use the GTR hood release latch in place of the GTS-t one? With the grill does it bolt right on or does it require drilling a couple of new holes in the rad support area?

2. Now according to RB20det.com cutting ECU wire #53 removes the speed limiter but then your stuck in HICAS DIAGNOSTIC mode.

Is this true and what is this diagnostic mode? I "had" HICAS on my 240 and to remove it I just pulled the fuse from the panel inside the car under the steering colum. Sure my light stays on but who cares b/c the system locks up straight according to Nissan.

Also I cut the speedometer wire coming from my gauge cluster to the ecu and that removed my speed limiter but then a rev limiter kicks in at 5000 rpm's in 5th gear. Does the same thing happen when you do it to a Skyline or no?

3, Currently I'm using a stainless steel oil feed line from my sending unit to my turbo. Now I needed to get the proper fittings to use it of course and since I've heard the R32 gauge can sometimes crap out, I want to be safe and install an aftermarket oil pressure gauge (electrical NOT mechanical) with sending unit.

What size fittings would I need and how much line would I need?

4, If I wanted to use an SAFC 2 with GTR 444cc injector's (with resistor pack), what is the correction for them? See on my 240 the kade injector's are 270's and the SR20det injector's are 370's. So the correction (untill you hit the dyno) is -27% in both HI and LOW throttle maps. I suck at math so is anyone here doing this and if so, what's the correction for the GTR injector's? Just untill I hit the dyno for a proper tune. Also has anyone here used, or know of anyone, who used RX-7 FC 550cc injector's? What would be the correction for these? They are top feed, low impedance.

5, Does anyone have a link for the R32 RB20det engine/wiring manual? I found a link online but when I downloaded it, my computer would'nt open it b/c the file was corrupted. I have Adobe so it's fine if it's in a PDF format. I want to buy the actual manual but it was $150.00 plus shipping from ebay. I also found a couple of other links but they were zipped .bin files and my computer can't read those.

I appreciate this and as you see I have done some research and, to a degree, know what I'm talking about drawing from my experience with my 240. Just need a little more to put me over the top.

Take care everyone.

Cheers B)

you have to use the GTR hood release latch to fit gtr bonnet

if you want to run gtr injectors and get rid of speed limiter, consider getting your ECU remapped, because that is best way to remove speed limiter (or full aftermarket ecu)

Series 4 rx7 injectors work, but a few people have had problems tuning, because the amount of fuel they inject isn't that accurate. GTR injectors should be fine.

search on net for manual, there are a few people on ebay selling full manuals on cd.

Don't chop the speed signal wire. It messes with the steering weight, can cause issues with stalling and the hicas doesn't work. It doesn't automatically lock either, it actually flops around (for lack of a better term) when loaded up when cornering unless you shim it up.

The oil pressure gauge uses a pretty common tapered thread. You can get a tee piece from a hydraulic supplier and tap into the stock pressure sensor location. It is quite likely that it is the same size thread as your old KA seeing as rb and sr's have the same size thread but different factory sensors. Best to remove the sensor and take it with you (it's not a hard job).

The correction is 1- (270/440) or (270/550). Series 5 rx7 injectors are the ones you want, they dont need a dropping resistor. Idle will be crap unless you get some decent aftermarket management. safc will probably run either of your choices ok, except for the idle of the 550s.

Hey thanks a lot guys.

Your answers are more indepth and really help clear things up.

I'm going to remap my ecu and just get a HICAS lock up bar.

As for the GTR hood and grill, that's great I'll just have my buddy make sure to snag the latch too.

Just one thing though BHDave, I don't get what you mean about the corrections for the SAFC? :cheers: How would I figure out what to imput on the HI/LO maps as in, what number would I use?

Now sorry but I had one more question.

How have you guys fixed the spark problem when running higher boost? I've been told to shorten the gap to 0.8 on the plugs so they don't crap out on me.

Let me say thanks again as I have really appreciated your help with this stuff.

Oh and I appoligise for posting this in the wrong section and thanks to the Admin or Mod for moving it in to this section instead of deleting.

      Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.

      No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
