Weird RB26 mods..

[dairyboy]

Just picked my car up today from the wharf (R33 GTR) and I've noticed they are pink (I mean the plastic bit..) compared that with my old GTi-R (suppose they are using the same injectors?) this seems a bit strange. Perhaps it's been upped to Nismo 550cc pink injectors? Also the fuel rail says "GTR/SP" or something strange/doesn't make sense..is it safe to assume it's been modded?

I've noticed the fuel regulator been tweaked as well as part of the fuel line connection been changed to braided lines.

Another weird thing I've noticed is that the pods are inter-connected ie from the AFM to the pod is a pipe but that pipe has been modified to connect both of the pod and AFM together BUT it is still running the stock turbo's (or it seems..) I can't understand why would anyone wanna join them up?

Now to the turbo - my car suppose to have done close to 75k km BUT the turbo looks as if it's new..it doesn't have the HKS GT power tag on the back of it (I was dreaming it's a new HKS turbo...d'oh!) but it's got Garrett on it. How can I verify which version are they? What colour is the actuator? I've noticed these are in a bronze/gold-ish colour and appeared to be fairly new.

Finally, the car doesn't really idle well...what problem am I facing? It's running Z32 AFM to my understanding and a stock ECU too.

Thanks people..

Hi dairyboy, I'd start at the ecu, Z32 afm's and a standard ecu don't go together very well, very tricky to program. Have you checked the ecu to make sure it is in fact standard?

Most actuators are cad plated, that's the bronze/gold finish.

Not all HKS turbos have HKS cast into them.

As for fuel pressure regs and rails, a picture would make it easier.

I strongly suggest a visit to your local Skyline familiar workshop and have the car checked out, a quick run on the dyno will tell you if there are any major issues that need to be addressed. I have recently rebuilt a GTR engine after the new owner drove it far and fast before having it checked out.

Hope that helps

Thanks for that SydneyKid, the car won't be driven for a _long time_ to come just to get things sorted out..

Pics coming soon. What on earth are those turbos? Looks so damn new for its age..
