well we've finally sorted out that the father in laws gtr is No.5 of the original 100 delivered to australia.

I've read that there is a yellow restrictor tab in the control lines that can be removed for more power. He hasn't done this himself and it was delivered new to him. He's not sure whether nissan oz may have done it. Can anyone point out where this tab is supposed to be if it's still in place please?

Cheers

Michael

I guess there is one way to tell. If it does 0-100 in 4.7 seconds and a 12.8 quarter then the tab has been removed.

Love a picture. Anyone from nissan australia?

I have an aussie GTR and the restrictor doesnt seem to be in place. It runs 12psi. Now I dont really know if the Aus versions were delivered with or without the restrictor.

Here is an engine bay of an AUS Delivered R32 GTR.

The owner is on SAU and a thread was made as the owner is selling it... From memory...

The amount of effort the owner has done to store and keep the car in a ridiculously Mint... And I mean Mint condition, is excellent!

You could eat sushi off the rocker cover LOL! :laugh:

The Yellow Boost Restrictor Tab is where I have circled in Red. (There should be a Yellow marking on the hose but over time it's worn off).

Supposedly you unplug the hose and squeeze out the restrictor and plug the hose back from where you pulled it from, in result having a safe factory boost increase...

(BTW I have NOT done it myself). I can still feel my Restrictor in place.

Thanks so much.

tab was in. was.

father in law is a mucho happy man. he said it felt like he'd been driving with the choke on. the car is much smoother and more responsive now.

He'll be wanting new turbo's or something next.

Then again, that might not be for a decade going by his current trend.

Thanks so much.

No worries!

So how much is the car boosting now?

Stock boost is +0.7 Bar... What is it now?

I'll find out about boost. Exhaust was replaced 12 months ago. His mate owns a muffler shop and imported an r32. He wanted to copy the father in laws system in return for a free 3" system. Turns out the 2 vehicles were very different underneath.

New turbo's. Can't see it. Car still gets serviced by the same nissan dealer that sold it to him and is bog stock except for new exhaust. The other car is a 2005 A6 3.0L tdi twin turbo - more the daily drive. 165kw and 450nm which I'm trying to talk them into chipping - 200kw and 550nm with better fuel economy.

He's a big lad and after trading the HK gts for a gtho III for a walkinshaw he grabbed the skyline. couldn't fit in a ferrari and he'd done his research and wanted the gtr. At 68 and after driving it for near 20 years he still loves it.

Should have kept quiet and may have been an even match in the forester. not now.

Thanks again.

Dont let him modify the Aussie GTR, they will be worth a fortune in the future.

True that, I think ppl will appreciate it more as it being unmodified, maybe with the exception of putting on a nice high flow street exhaust would still be fine.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
