My R32 Skyline Build-up


Recommended Posts

Thought I’d make a contribution to this thread since I mainly whore the Classifieds threads.

My name is Dave and I'm from Sydney. I have previously owned half a dozen corolla's whilst on my P's, and then went to the darkside and owned an FC RX7 which was reasonably “sex spec” to say the least. I sold it due to costs of running it daily were hurting my wallet. Now the Nissan bug has bitten me...

During May this year, after I sold my RX7 I bought this R32 of a mate of mine for a price I couldn’t refuse, it was reasonably stock and I had no real intentions at first to mod..

But then I had a few setbacks so took it off the road..

A little over a month ago I bought another R32 from Wagga Wagga to strip down, I sold the rolling shell to a mate of mine and kept everything else.

And amongst some of the bolt-on goodies I removed off the maroon R32, I decided since my blue R32 is currently off the road awaiting for exterior work to commence why not kill two birds with one stone and put all the bolt on goodies from the maroon car into the blue car.

My plans for the R32 are to put all the bolt-on mods (consisting of the Garrett GT3540 Turbo, front mount, exhaust, microtech ecu…. The list goes on..) from the maroon skyline onto the blue one and then once the car is drive-able again have the car resprayed (still un-decided on what color to have done) and then possibly sell the white 18’s to fund a different set of wheels.

When the time comes to go ahead with the respray I'm going to leave the engine bay as it is and then have it resprayed later on in the future when I have acquired more knowledge of going down the path of doing the RB26/30 conversion.

    • Weird the Gktech one doesn't have the 3 holes and is only a 5min install if you have the standard front bar.
    • Honestly, as someone on the standard PS4 controller, should be relatively easy to get gold. Remember you have more grip than you think.
    • Fitted some Advan AD09s to try next. Likely slower than the CR-S but should work in the wet and last longer.   Off for alignment and the new plates worked a treat! I was finally able to hit both my drift and grip alignment targets with the same setup! Grip Front: Toe total -2mm(1mm out each side) Caster +7° Camber -3.8° Ackerman +15° Rear: Total toe +3mm (1.5mm in each side) Camber -1.5° —————————————- Drift as above but drop the front sway bar and change the below. Front: Toe total -10mm(5mm out each side) Ackerman +5°  
    • @Duncan can you put the Link in, and measure all the power input voltages with a multimeter. Specifically looking for one that is low.   Then put the other ECU in that it runs on, and measure those voltages again with a multimeter?   If all of your voltages read normal on both ECUs, but the link is still reading low internally, your issue IS the LINK. If the voltages drop low on the multimeter while the Link is plugged in, but not other ECU, then the issue COULD be wiring in the car, or it COULD be the ECU. To rule out wiring, work out how with an ECU removed, you can trigger all the necessary relays, and then measure resistance from the pin that is reading low at the ECU, to the batteries positive power.   I have a sneaking suspicion your issue is the link, it's not reading the voltage properly, possibly a dry joint, or a Cap dieing, and because voltage is low, it's likely attempting to compensate on fuelling and the engine won't run.
    • Hi there, Does anyone here have the carbonetics slam panel installed on their R34 GTT? Or used to have one and got some pics of how it sat? https://carbonetics.net/products/1999-2002-nissan-skyline-r34-gtt-cooling-slam-panel?srsltid=AfmBOoo6Uz0nuxGI3qC0sn56KJI6PMgh0OvV-pbegsPDHTtTxz4IMljc I’m just trying to get an idea of how they sit once installed but these guys have no pics.  biggest question I’m trying to figure out is what the hell the 3 holes at the front of the panel are 😂 and where they bolt    Thanks in advance
