Ah, no it's not.

What you have there is probably from an R30 Skyline (or perhaps 280ZX). R32 GTR resistor packs use a grey semi-oval connector plug and don't have a black rubber boot over the plug. OTOH, R30 Skyline resistor packs look exactly like what is shown in your photos, although the number of wires doesn't look right but that might just be the way the photo is taken.

As far as I'm aware R33 GTR resistor pack is identical to R32 type.

In any event, it will do the same job.

it looks like that thingy in the engine bay of my r32, on the n/s strut tower. my gtr resistor pack u can see the actualy white resistors from the side of it.

The body looks like the R32 GTR type, but the connector is wrong.

BTW, I own an R32 GTR and have a couple of R30 resistor packs on the workbench in my garage.........

Cheers for the info everyone...

I have found some pics of an MR30 pack and two GTR packs...

MR30

This looks alot like it but the plug has too many wires

GTR

Looks totally different...

Another GTR but this one has the same black number code as the one I'm looking at buying...Case slightly different

Does anyone know if the numbers on the pack itself can be used to identify which car it may have come from?

Somethings not right with the one you've been offered if it doesn't have 7 wires. For a 6 cyl car there has to be 7 wires:

1 for battery connection (in the case of an R30 resistor pack that's the red wire on the loom connector)

1 wire for the power supply to each injector, 6 in total (those are the yellow wires, but notice each has a different colour stripe).

There were some 4 cyl Nissans that used L-Jetronic injection and also had a resistor pack, but in that case there will be 5 wires.

Hey guys, this is just a confirmation question. Can you use the MR30 ballast resisitor with the GTR injectors and if so does anyone know what resistance these MR30 resistors are??

Thanks guys

I remember vaguely mine was 5.2 or 5.8 ohms. One of the two. :laugh:

Hey cubes what ECU do you run??? if the high impedance of the RB20 injectors is about 12ohm and the MR30 resistor is about 5.5ohm the final impedance would be still around 7 ohm, according to everones feedback is that the GTR injectors impedance should be around 2.5ohms. Is this suitable to run with a Apexi Power FC????

Any help would be great.

Also has anyone got the part number for the GTR ballast resistor???

The GTR resistor pack measures close to what the MR30 resistor pack does.

Form memory it was actually a little less. Low 5's vs high 5's for the MR30.

All ecu's have a little head room. Ignore the 'theoretical' calculation as its wrong.

Look at what the RX7 blokes run. 6ohm resistors, its what we run and almost every single other manufacture does also. I've never measured a Nissan, Honda or Mazda with a resistor pack greater than ~6ohms.

Theoretically according to calcs they should be running ~10ohm resistors but they dont.

EDIT: I've been running a PFC for 2 years.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything

      3 or 4 8-balls in the sump?

      Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues

      Is this saveable r32 gtr seat

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
