Im very far behind on starting this build thread, but better late than never. While stationed in western Tokyo (2013-2015) I was able to fulfill a childhood dream of owning a Nissan Skyline GTR. Made the purchase of the car as a reward to myself after making promotion. This is how it sat when purchased in October 2013. What It Came With: Engine: Greddy FMIC Greddy Radiator HKS hard pipe intercooler set MINES ECU Straight pipe from turbo back Suspension: Tein Adjustable Type-TS CruiseMaster Coilovers Nismo Arms and Rods Omori Factory Re-inforced Chasis Nismo Front/Rear Stabilizers 17x9 and 255 40 17 all around Interior: Nismo 230/km dash Greddy Turbo Timer Greddy Oil Pressure and Boost Guage Exterior: Nismo Body Kit (front bumper with vents, N1 bonnet lip and trunk lip) JUN front lip LED Tail Lights The car was in running condition when i got it but it needed some work to get it drive properly. - The clutch was bad. The seller knew it was twin discs, but not sure of the brand in it. - One of the stock turbos in it were bad. The seller had two R33 GTR stock turbos that came with the car. - The LED taillights were of Pinkish color now and only two were working. After saving up and having the car sit for a month or so, I was ready to start buying parts to get this car on the road. I went to UpGarage near the base to find a replacement clutch. Something simple and used, just to see what kinda clutch is in it and to get it operational. I grabbed a HKS Twin isc clutch and was on the lift the following weekend. After dropping the transmission, we noticed it was an OS Giken Twin Disc (TS2CD). After finding this gem, I decided it would be better to buy a rebuild kit for the clutch and put the Giken back in. RHDjapan was able to get me the rebuild kit in less than a week. Once the rebuild kit came in, work was getting more and more hectic, I was not going to be able to do the work myself. Since the turbos needed to be swap too, i found this to be the perfect time to get both the clutch and turbos done. You also get a nice glimpse of the replacement wheels I put on it. Advan RGII - 17x9 +30. The offset wasn't ideal but it gave the car a better look IMO and I could NOT pass up the deal that was offered. I finally got the car back and it was able to boost and shift as it was supposed to. Still wouldn't pass the inspection due to the LED taillights not being fully functional, CV Boot on the front passenger, and the brakes pads and rotors were shot. I got on YAJ and ordered a set of stock taillights and shopped for the R33 GTR Brembos. Was able to source a front set for an amazing price with rotors and pads included. Back to the shop it went. I got it to pass inspections and was completely satisfied with driving it every now and then. I didn't drive the car for weeks at a time due to work and not wanting to break it before getting it back to the States. Nothing to write home about happened upgrade wise with the car until it was time to get it ready for the trip across the Pacific. Here's me at Yokohoma Bay dropping the car off. April 2015. I was stationed in New Mexico next and the car was being delivered to Dallas, TX. The car made it and was ready for pick up in June 2015 After getting it registered stateside I was ready to start adding small things here and there. First thing I got was a Boss hub kit and NRG quick release for the steering wheel. I had a used Nardi wheel that I got while in Japan begging to be installed. Also i bought the Viper 2-Way Security System {5706V} (Remote Start System) and installed it so the motor would be warmed up by the time I came out to drive it. Started doing more research on the MINE'S ECU in the car and knew it would be smart to buy an aftermarket ECU and get it tuned for USA pump gas. So i got on YAJ and found a used PowerFC L-Jetro w/ hand controller at a decent rate. Looked around for boost controllers and the GReddy Profec OLED was what caught my eye, so i grabbed one from RHDJapan. Searched and searched for someone who was able to tune this ECU and have a dyno. Finally found someone in El Paso, texas about an hour away from where I was stationed in New Mexico. Once the parts came in from Japan I scheduled a date and I hit the road to Texas. We were able to get it tuned, but was not able to get an actual HP number due to the Boost Controller not operating correctly. Noticed very quickly the difference in response as well as actual fuel economy improved. The New Mexico dessert heat is quite different from the heat in Tokyo so i thought an oil cooler and Oil filter relocation kit was needed. I sourced one via a FB group and had it installed by some random shop in Alamogordo, NM. It was a dumb move on my part. This is where the trouble for the car began. They installed the oil cooler and relocator, but they didnt use the steel braided lines I brought it to them with. They used thick Motorcycle hoses that had no flex. The car developed an oil leak at the cooler (they used -8An instead of the -10AN) and it never was the same since. Around this time, I had decided to leave the military so i was not in a position to shell out funds for parts. So i would drive the car whenever the urge came, but I was also having to add a quart of oil here and there since I couldn't pay to get it fixed at that moment.

Hi All, Keen to discuss water injection set ups as an alternative to E85 on mildly modded GTRs. I have an R32 GTR with basic bolt ons, -5 turbos making 360kw on pump 98 fuel. The car has been at this power level for 6+ years now and is due for a touch up tune. After chatting with the team at Unigroup they suggested thinking about adding a water injection kit which will deliver good gains. Internally thee engine is still standard so i don't think i necessarily want to push more power through it but it is quite tempting. Love to hear everyone's thoughts on this technology in a street car? pro's and con's cheers

Is there any benefit in switching from caltex eflex to United e85. I understand the e85 has a higher ethanol content than eflex. Will there be much of a gain after a return on United e85. The reason on changing is more an availability issue.

Hello, I am thinking of upgrading my fuel system to E85 and wonder what sort of power I will get with my -5 garrets? I have to upgrade my injectors anyway to push these turbos further on 98 but will I get much more power going to e85? Thanks

Hello and here comes stupid question ? I have been thinking To buy e85 flexfuel kit but Will it work on stock stageas Only mods now is fmic and removed center muffler. Later I will make new downpipe

Hi Ive recently had a starting issue. tried changing the plugs and testing for spark. Tested the CAS by spinning it. Checked for fuel after the rail. got the car started by spraying start aid to the intake. It started straight away. but when throttle is applied it seem to die or drop revs till it dies. ive recently started using united e85 so im thinking maybe dirty injectors. But when the car started it ran for 10mins without a problem. but dies when revs applied. The first time this issue occured the car died in the middle of the road, lost all power but the revs were still present. As soon i applied more throttle it died. Thereafter never managed to start it till now. any help is appreciated as im trying to to waste money on something that isnt broke. R3GTT, VIPEC PLUGIN

Gidday again from New Zealand! I thought I would start a build thread, since lets be honest, a gunmetal grey R32 sedan with an RB26DETT is pretty bad ass, and everybody will want to see some of that! Lets start from the beginning shall we! I was rolling around in a B18CR swap DC1 Integra. That was a lot of fun, got me into a bit of trouble, and unfortunately one fateful night in July 2013 I managed to get sandwiched on the commute home I started looking for another car on Trade Me (Ebay equivalent for NZ), and found a nice 1992 Nissan Skyline R32 GTS-4 sedan in gunmetal grey, with an RB26DETT swap. As soon as I saw it I wanted it! Coincidentally It was actually owned by someone I knew, just 5 minutes drive away! Small world! He originally had it for ~$20K+, but when I saw it, it was priced at $18K. Knowing what I know now, I shouldn't have paid that much, but at the time I just wanted it so badly I got a family loan and got it! Notable mods: · RB26DETT with GTR differentials front and rear · Garrett GT2859R-9 turbos · 740?cc injectors and Walboro 255lph intank pump · Link G4 ECU · Crank collar extension and N1 oil pump · 18 psi on high boost was 330awkw I drove it around for a couple of days and it was incredible! So much more power than I had ever experienced before, let alone driven! (330wkw vs 120wkw for an Integra?) That said, I was taking it slow, and respecting the car, as the last thing I wanted was to get ticketed, or even worse crash it! Unfortunately, little did I know that around the third or fourth time I had ever driven the car would be the last for a while! The fateful night It was about 7-8PM at night, and I was planning on going to the pub for a drink with a couple of mates. I picked a few of them up and took a short detour to do a quick pull on the motorway. I flicked the high boost switch, rolled slowly around the roundabout, and booted it once I was pointing straight. Unfortunately when I changed from 2nd to 3rd I either missed the gate or lost traction and then hit the rev limiter (probably the former ). Instantly the oil pressure gauge dropped to 0, and the idiot light lit up! I noticed it pretty much immediately, pulled over straight away, turned off the car, and bypassed the turbo timer to kill it. At the time, I had absolutely no idea what had happened, as my knowledge of Skylines and Nissans in generally was pretty limited! I called up the seller and he came and towed me home. I was understandably gutted, so I promptly went to the pub to drown my sorrows! Research, lots of research In the following days and weeks I did more research than I think I have ever done in my life! I learnt a lot of things about the RB26DETT, and Skylines in general. I came to the conclusion that I had destroyed the N1 oil pump gears, which in my mind is a weak piece of crap, even weaker than stock. It may not have broken on everyone's cars, but there are a lot of failures for such a critical part, and in my mind it is a timebomb waiting to blow up! I originally thought I would repair the car myself, perhaps hire some storage and do it there. Eventually I came to my senses and decided to get it repaired by the best RB engine builder in the universe, RIPS. I bought a Tomei Oil pump and saved up a down payment for RIPS. On the road to rebuild I contacted Rob and arranged to drop the car off to him on October 20-21 2013. The car was in the back of a long garage and it was an absolute nightmare to get on to the trailer, because the garage is at an angle to the driveway! Eventually I managed to get in on, and drove the car up to Rotorua to meet Robbie Ward! He had a mint R33 GTR in the garage that looked like it was nearly ready to start, and some kind of stripped out american car with a V8 block lying on the ground next to it. I was in awe of how many parts he had lying around, and I knew I had bought my car to the right place! Getting the car in the garage wasn't too bad, but lets just say Rob was less than impressed with my reversing skills when I went to leave Rob had plans to go to America, so work wouldn't start for a while, but it was a huge relief that progress would soon be made! The strip down Rob and co got the motor out and started the strip down. The N1 oil pump gear was definitely broken, but that was just the start of the problems · Injector clips were missing · Pitting in cylinder head · Pitting in pistons · Deep scores in most cylinders · Bent valves · Broken valve stem guides · Crank pulley bolt loose (may have contributed to killing oil pump but I still don't trust the N1 oil pump) · Woodruff key slots rounded off Basically the shortblock was toast, the head needed a full overhaul, and the turbines might have been damaged by the broken valve stem guides. Obviously all this other damage was not caused by the oil pump failing, and had been there for a while. Being a private sale I didn't have a leg to stand on for any of this, but this was a second blow and I was very mad at the time! You can see why it was worth nowhere near $18K. Maybe if the engine was in mint condition it might have been, but in this state no way! Unfortunately I can't find any photos of the damage at the moment, but if I do I'll try and remember to post them up. Picking up the pieces So there was a lot of work to do to get this engine back in a state Rob and I would be happy with, and this was the tipping point that below the project out of scope! - That always happens right? Anyway, I acquired a good condition second hand R33 shortblock for $1000 and Rob could bore out my block for another customer, so he took that for $500. So in reality it wasn't really that much of a set back, and in fact it was probably a blessing in disguise, as now I had the opportunity from a ground up rebuild! They say a picture speaks a thousand words, so I'll let these speak for themselves! The head was completely rebuilt with all new seals, good condition second hand valves, new valve guides (k-lined on the exhaust), and the pitting was welded up and cleaned up. The head was decked to ensure it's true. The crank was checked and polished up, the standard R33 rods and pistons were balanced and installed with new piston rings, ACL bearings and ARP rod bolts. The main bolts were reused as is. The block was also decked. I figured I'd gone this far, so why stop! New Tomei adjustable cam gears, water pump and pulleys New Tomei head gasket RIPS enlarged capacity and baffled oil sump That was all topped off with a Ross Metal Jacket Race damper, with underdriven P/S and no A/C, which I don't have a picture of. The fuel system was also in need of a refresh, so I got Rob to put together something simple that would just do the job: Surge tank Not one, but two 700HP Bosch 044 fuel pumps Standard fuel rail modified to be twin entry Alcohol compatible return line Ethanol sensor (this is why there are two 044s ) ID1000 injectors modified to fit in the standard fuel rail (10.5mm) Ready to go back in Just before the heart was ready to be reinserted, Rob fired through a few more pics And the engine back in it's home: I think this is a sweet looking picture. It shows the black power coated fuel rail and the cool blue injectors. It also shows the FPR we decided to go with, a Turbosmart FPR1200 Needed to be huge to return the fuel from two 044s! Rob also made up a nice catch tank for the setup. I will need to paint that washer bottle some time when I get it back He also had a crack at making a divided twin turbo pipe (his first time! ) And some nice AFM delete pipes, nom nom It's nearly ready to be fired up, so I will hopefully be updating this thread soon! There are also so many things I have planned to do in the future, so I will post that up shortly! Thanks for stopping by Contents <Reserved for links to other posts in this thread>

So i'm going to be converting my car to e85 soon because theres a pump near my house and why not. Been looking at items for the fuel system which i'll need and have a couple of questions, will i need an fpr? if so any suggestions? Im looking at getting 700-800cc injectors, preferably on the cheaper side without needing an aftermarket fuel rail any suggestions? i've found these http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/121546852066?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIThowever it says they are to suit a top feed rail, is it possible to run a top feed with the standard intake plenum? sorry if they're noob questions, thanks!

E85 on BNR34 with standard fuel lines... Hi all, I was recently told that the fuel lines on BNR34's are actually smaller then BNR32 & BCNR33's... and I know that the ideal setup when running E85 is replacing the standard lines with full braided or Teflon lines, but I wont have the $$$ or time to get that them in time for WTAC in less then a weeks time. So my question is this, Is anyone running their R34 GT-R on E85 with the standard fuel feed lines??? As im only aiming for around 330-350 kW's at the rears would I still need to upgrade lines? Cheers, Glen

which injectors for E85 Hey all. Will be retuning on E85 and wanting to replace injectors before I hit the dyno. Are there any decent top feed 1500 - 1700cc injectors suitable for E85, any recommendations? cheers

AI SP1200 Surge Tank and Holley Dominator Pump Hi Guys, I have for sale my AI SP1200 Surge Tank and Holley Dominator Pump. Was running this setup in my car for the last year or so during which time it's done maybe 3000km's total so not much at all. Was providing plenty of fuel for the 470awkw setup I had at the time whilst being next to silent (couldn't hear it inside the car). As the Holley Dominator is technically 2 pumps you can run them in a staged setup which is how I had it which keeps fuel temps down when you don't need a lot of fuel. All working perfectly when removed and comes mounted on a nice little plate ready to be installed. The only reason I have removed it is this system will cap out at around 650awkw or so and I need something a little larger for my new setup. Price is 1000 ONO. Item is located in Rouse Hill, NSW and pickup is preferred over post. Any questions contact me here on SMS/Call 0403858714. Thanks, Brett

R34 GTR fuel delivery issue Hi Guys, Got a bit of an issue with the fuel delivery on my car and was wondering if you can help me out... Just a quick background on the car: - Brand new 1000cc xspurt injectors with resistor pack removed - Brand new walbro 460lph e85 fuel pump with relay - Apexi powerfc - 2860-5 turbos - titanium turbo back exhaust - ARC intake (stock afms) - manual boost controller - set to 18psi I got my car tuned today only to find out the car was only able to make 290awkw on e85 @18psi safely. I was aiming for 350-380awkw however my tuner said the car struggled to go above 290 due to the car leaning out. Apparently he had to trick the ecu into thinking the injectors were only 550cc in order to get the car running right, where as when they were set to 1000 it would just run lean. He was reluctant to up the boost for obvious reasons. Im taking the car back to one of the boys who used to work at racepace to do a check on Monday (he was the one who installed all the parts for me), however this is something ill definitely be losing sleep over during the weekend. Just wondering what everyones opinion on the issue would be? Only thing i could think of was that the injectors dont like the ecu or the fuel filter in the engine bay is dirt.
