and its not as tough as all the others

Hey hang on, the first car on the list here is a non-turb GTS!

There seems to be a lot more Targa cars around here than I first thought. There's only a hand full here in NZ. Mind you, none of you have any gravel pics yet. The last gravel sprint I was at had two Skylines competing...and more in the build!

well I can't find the gravel pics of my GTR - yet, but there's one in my avatar. They're only from an autocross though. Here's a couple from a tarmac rally last year. Photos thanks to www.suddenlysideways.com

My previous car - a Datsun 1200 coupe with 146rwbhp L18 built to Improved Production rules. having some fun at Morgan Park:

I swapped the GTR a couple of weeks ago for a mates 3J log booked Datsun 1200 coupe (plus some cash). Very similar to the 1200 coupe I built myself before the GTR came along, only with twice the horsepower thanks to the CA18DET... no pics of that yet

ok, I will throw up my nugget.

R32 GTR. run in club sprints and state sprints. had a few good results.

a few specs:

running ohlins (nismo) all alloy shocks with remote canisters and seperate bump and rebound adjustment

all adjustable arms (except LCAs)

big swaybars

cusco 8 point cage

~270rwkw

heaps of other gear. cobra evolution seat, lots of defi gauges, 34 GTR brembos a few sets of rims (33 GTR and enkei NT03 atm). lots of time and money spent on suspension work and set-up, and stuff like big oil cooler etc. way to much to add up.

Ah haa! That's what I want to see, using all the road and then some! Good to see you guys aren't scared to use the GTR for what it was built for, too many posers over here :rolleyes:

    • ..m'kay.... I see on my phone you're having difficulties interpreting the artfully hand drawn R31 wiring diagrams... you wouldn't credit it, but they're actually more accurate than those colour diagrams in gregory's and the like... ...for your purposes though, the wiring colour legend is on sheet 1.... ....the fuel pump connector is top right on sheet 2.... ...pin1 (black) goes to chassis ground -- pin5 (light green/red trace)... The best way to navigate those drawings, is to open them up in whatever image manipulation/paint program you like, and use the straight line/ruler  tool (with a highlight colour) to trace along the wire lines...not hard, no rocket science involved... Fun facts: The OEM diagrams are drawn to top trim level spec ~ so for example, you're looking at Silo spec wiring, but the base S3 Executive trim is also covered by the same drawing (base models just don't have all the add-on luxury bits) One of the more sublime bits of errata, is this bit... The wire splice between pins7,14 doesn't exist (red) -- the bridge on the cluster PCB between the same pins (green) does exist...but it's not 'there' physically...it's actually more towards the center of the PCB, exactly at the spot where they tend to crack...and if it does, only half the dash lights work... can drive you nuts chasing it ; don't ; just solder in the missing splice... These are 'intentional' soldered and taped splices inside the loom(s) ~ there's also unintentional splices like this, due to manufacturing process when a spool of one particular coloured wire runs out, and they splice in/on a new spool. Those splices above are in the loom, LHS, underneath the front guard panel (remove to get at loom)... if water's gotten into the looms, you can expect corrosion at these splices ... keep this stuff in mind, if in the future you get any weird electrical faults... 👍  
    • that looks identical to the WGNC34 Stagea one I was poking around the other day. Is the other end of that not the ECU plug? If so checking continuity at both ends will tell you which ECU wire it is.  I can start by telling you ECU pin 31 is the top of the large pins on the right in your second pic
    • Bit late....but the one on my stagea has additional holes too, it is for clearance of the bolt heads which hold the radiator latch upright to the radiator support (ie, they are not to locate the panel)
    • My gut feeling was also blowby, it is absolutely crazy when you see how much engines actually breathe when they run a lot of boost or are heavily modified. If you can ever see a motor on a dyno it's pretty crazy, full on steam train action. I thought I was going crazy when filling a 500ml catch can in one 20 minute track session, or maybe two. It's been awhile. But then I saw how much _worse_ it is with harder running engines and I was pretty shocked. In any case I would definitely use more than 1L in 1000miles with that kind of load going through it :p It going nowhere.... is... unusual
