Hey guyz

Im in the running to get an R32 GTS-T

Now just curious i know parts arnt always easy to find.. however normal service parts such as oil filter, fuel filter, air filter etc are these parts avaliable???

If so will most spare parts shops stock these??

And for my second question...

If say water pump or timing belt needs replacing where would i find these parts

Thanks

Joe - (the rookie)

The air filter is the same panel as a Commodore.

Oil Filter, I think, is the same as the R31 (Ryco 145A).

Fuel filter is the same as some other Nissan (can't recall which one, but easily obtainable thru Autobarn, etc).

Thermostat is the same as a VL Turbo (even comes in a nice "Nissan" box)

When all else fails, your friendly Nissan dealer can get any part you require, as long as you can quote the VIN at him.

hey,

we're in the same boat... looking at getting r32 gtst and depressed about expensive nissan parts and insurance for young drivers in imports....

here's my almost identical thread on parts: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=36160

i buy the following parts from supercheap auto:

- oil ($30)

- oil filter ($5)

- air filter (k&n sell for $120 there)

- fuel filter ($30)

- spark plugs ($3 each)

as for timing belt - i bought mine for $80 from my local nissan dealer

as for water pump - ditto above

servicing the transmission - i used a kit bought for $30 from repco

the times of 'can't find parts for imports' really have been passed now...

good luck with the purchase!

Waz.

    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later. 
    • Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.
    • Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)  
    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
