Hi all,

Inquiring if any one can help out with a few questions about Nismo edition Skyline's?

I have a 2001 ER34 GTT Nismo Bay side blue that I got a company in Sydney to import over from Japan for me about 4 years ago, now 36000k on the clock. I only drive her about once a week if that due to a busy working lifestyle, but now things have slowed down due to the economy so have I! and so will the money lol. Got mates with all tuning and testing tools for what ever upgrades I want to do, but we would like to know a few things before we start boosting her up or changing any parts. We tested the boost @ 11 Psi and the thing has never been tampered with, no boost controller she is all stock apart from the HPI stainless steel bell-mouth Dump, HPI Stainless dual front pipe, X-Force-3" high flow cat converter, Kakimoto 06&R cat back exhaust system

Questions

Did Nissan produce a factory GTT Nismo?

If so! Dose anyone know spec’s on the turbo/engine?

Do they have steel turbines or ceramic?

Factory Boost Psi?

Engine components/forged pistons?

doubt it

get your vin number up or pm it so someone so they can fast it for you . do you know that you can re arrange the factory pipes to raise the boost or someone could have drilled out the restrictor and it will run 12 psi and look completlly stock

We have had a good look over it and it has not been messed with. arranging the pipes will only give you 1/2 Pis lift, we look into that one at the start.

I actually remember this car when it was first advertised, funnily enough.

Given that it was a very late build (January '02) I suspect that Nissan did with the R34 what they did with many R33s - built some run-out specials using Nismo parts in order to clear out the last of the stock. Following this theory, I suspect you'll find any Nismo parts on the car were cosmetic rather than performance-enhancing.

Cool car though, and very rare just as it is.

Hey buddy, I've got a really late 2001 Model series 2 supposedly "Nismo" Bayside Blue GTT aswell, but from what i know there is no such thing as a 'Nismo GTT'. All series 2 GT-t's do come with steel wheel turbines unlike series 1 er34's which have nylon compressor wheels. There's not much info about Series 2 NEO RB25det's and their steel wheel turbos, but i've driven three stock ones and they all seem to hit just under a bar of boost.

These series 2 GT-T's also have more torque due to the extra boost.

Series 2: 37.0 kg*m (362.85 N*m) / 3200 rpm

Series 1: 35.0 kg*m (343.23 N*m) / 3200 rpm

Sweet thanks for the info, So do we know if they have a steel wheel turbine?

    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf

    • Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).
