Thought I would share the progress of my 32 GTST I purchased March last year

this is what it looked like on day 1 of ownership. Stock as a rock apart from a FMIC

First week I had the car I went to town on it on ordering some new things to make it reliable

all hose clamps for water, fluid and fuel hoses

all water hoses

all pwr steering fluid hoses

all fuel hoses

rocker cover seals

040 fuel pump

removal of hicus crap

putting a full brg set through the gearbox

cleaned everything up

found a cactus brg on the mainshaft in my gearbox which is a common cause for skyline rollover noise

So once that was all done I purchased some 32R rims

then replaced a the front end bushes and installed some new K sport coilovers

which lowered it somewhat

engine bay is now all clean as well as the air con system at the front of the car

next bit was to put in a new 3" mandrel bend system

and then a nistune done by sean at allstar garage

new bigger battery and clamps

IMG_7239.jpg

new pads (ebc redstuff) which I have not fitted yet

dba 4000 slotted rear rotors

IMG_7357.jpg

and I have these on order (324mm gtr front upgrade on 4000 dba rotors)

skylinestage1brakekit.jpg

also not mentioned yet is I put in a rear 32R sway bar and RB20 diff from an auto for the shorter ratio

see if I can work this out

Rims & Tyres -$1100

Brakes - $1500

Fuel Pump - $240

ksport Coilovers and nolathane bushes $1900

nistune - $950

Gearbox rebuilt $500

Gearboots $30 odd

bee*R $300

Mandrel steel Exhaust $450

Seals, Hoses, clamps ect.. about $400 from memory

Turbo $300

Dump pipe $200

GTR rear Sway bar $20 (CHEAP CHEAP)

Rear auto diff $150

Strut brace for the rear $80

Tint $60 and seals $50 (mate of mine does windscreens & tint ect)

Dry ice sound deadner removal was about $150.. Dry ice isnt cheap!

Thats as much as I can think of, All the new stuff is below trade price too.. glad I didnt pay retail for any of it

duno if I wana add all that up LOL, would be almost 9K i rekn

im building a 25 for it next year, still pretty keen to spend more money.

Edited by BANGN

f**king gorgeous .... wish mine would look like this ... ( the Bee*R rev limiter) what do u use it for? ive seen them applied (ignition cut) with all the backfire which is awesome but .. what are they used for? launching?

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
