back before the GTR was born, in the late 60's there was a car called the GT-B, which basically won the Skyline's first race in japan. It was an N/A straight 6, with 4 doors. (Pete in SA has one of these, however Marvin, runs an RB20 from memory :Phttp://www.cardomain.com/ride/547037)

Autech in collaboration with Nissan, made the Autech R32 GTB commemoration edition. True to its ancestor, this car was a 4 door straight 6 N/A. They used the R32 GTS4 chassis as its base, and the RB26 engine, with different compression etc to account for the lack of turbos, however it retained the GTR's individual throttles. The body was massaged at Autech after leaving Nissan's assembly line, before it was painted in Autech poo brown/green :)

Anyways, that's todays history lesson over with kiddies.

It may be a shit spec to some of you guys (yes you guys who say "lolfag auto N/A"), but if you knew the history behind it, its a true collectible.

And technically you could import it, as the engine is actually a valid RB26DETT, and the chassis is a valid GTS4. Just depends on how lenient the compliancer is with the paperwork :down:

the dude who owns r31 house over in japan, put a rb26dett into a r31 then removed the turbo to make it an N/A cause she was scared of the power or somthing like that :)

Close. He built the car for his wife.

    • Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.
    • Set of knee pads for a R34. Will fit every model I think. Comes with everything except the rubber covers for the bolt holes. Still in great condition. You will need to drill holes to mount these or use double sided tape. I can do free shipping and will be shipping from the Netherlands with tracking.
    • Nistune needs something like an entire excel spreadsheet in which you build an abstraction layer that converts everything from real units you can actually measure into all of the various tables. The number of unexpected dependencies hiding in how the Nissan ECUs do math is a pretty impressive optimization trick for 8-bit MCUs but good god is it awful to actually work with in practice.
