Gh05t's 32 Gtr Daily Cleanup

[GH05T]

Ok, pulling the dash out tomorrow to replace all the bulbs for LEDs now that they have arrived.

is there anything i nee to know, anything which is likely to break or clips in odd places?

for the main cluster:
im assuming its simply unscrew the surrounds and remove,
unscrew the dash and remove and unplug one main plug

then replace bulbs, i know their positive/negative and not to put it back together before testing... done that before

the ac i have done before on a gts so again im assuming the same.

tripple guage i dont know yet but cant be harder than a 34 gtt tripple?


ignore questions as search found it.

Ok where is this ... vaccume hose? Supposed to go? Just pokin out randomly by my batter all of a sudden.

Dissappears under the plenum With the other hose which goes to the stock boost solanoid.

[r32-25t]

Next to the intercooler pipe there is nipple sticking out, it goes on there

[GH05T]

no free nipples...

heard that before




my guess is something has been removed or made redundant with the new intercooler hoses?

it dosnt have any vacuum or pressure and im starting to think it goes nowhere and hasnt since i have owner her.
either that or its a re circulation system for emissions and does stuff all generally?

Sump breather

[GH05T]

the orange hose?

[Sinista32]

Looks like a good candidate.

No chance of tracing it to the source ?

I'll take a pic of mine today. Got exactly the same thing. (Not connected)

I was curious and asked ESP about it and I was told it went to the sump

Hence my comment above

Edit: I have a Nismo plenum and it appeared after it was put on

tried in the shed, my not tiny asian hands traced it simply to, dissapearing under the plenum, following the other vac lines from the boost solanoid but havnt traced it further. made no difference when running or revving and as said has no pressure or vac. and i just cant find anything else open ended to connect to within reach.

asked the Pavlou guys who recently did the heater hoses and they saw it too, they weren't sure what it connected to (not really looking as they were doing other things) but came to the same conclusion that it was doing no good or bad and left it alone which means it hasnt been connected for probably a year at least.

[Sinista32]

same - no adverse effects on mine

[GH05T]

hmmm, well im just gonna ziptie it out of the way for now. dont want it finding the radiator fan or anything fun like that.
will do some more searching later.


also



yay stock steering wheel

shit thing is... which is very odd, i still have the HICAS light coming on at exactly 10km into a trip. do i need to reset something or is it another fault somewhere else?

[okooko]

same thing with the hose for me, nice n mint with the steering wheel, cleaner than mine by far haha

[Sinista32]

same, Mines blocked off.

I just hide it but make sure it's facing up and up high.

[GH05T]

cos im bored

Does It run to a nipple next to the intercooler pipe? Line for the bovs.

Breather for the front sump goes to an upside down u shape bracket bolted to the underside of the inlet manifold. Usually a thin vac hose.

Not 100% sure if thats the hose you mean.

just a thought about the hicas light. does it keep blowing a fuse? check the fusebox inside the car, top row 7th along. its a 10a one. maybe try cleaning up the earth? theres the hicas module under the factory boost solenoid. the earth for it is close by.

i had mine come on randomly recently (light on and hard steering) and i blew a couple fuses trying to figure out whats wrong. cleaned up the earth and contact point, new fuse. all good now.

[GH05T]

k_d

there is another pipe taking that up


will investigate the sump side when i get it in the air, cant see shit from under the bonnet.


on the hicas light, i will check the fuse, its annoying that it follows the exact 10km and fail symptom with the new steering wheel, is the stock boss not doing something maby?
my thoughts are going back to just pulling the bitch out and getting the martini locks.

in reading the hicas removal threads i do like the idea that you can plumb the unused system properly so that the hicas light still functions for low fluid or pump failing errors.

[WantGTR]

use the posted diagram to help you where find where it goes.

grab that rogue vacuum hose follow its path until you get to the end of it. it doesnt lead to the abyss you just havent figured it out yet.

how does the car behave? like a boost leak?unlimited boost?

has the factory boost solenoid been removed? do you have an aftermarket ebc? could be the line does not connect to anything?

[GH05T]

stock boost controller is there and plumbed in, dosnt act like any boost leak and hits stock boost only.
i will get on it when i have a chance. probably when i get the plenum off to do the throttle linkages.

[Chris32]

Reckon I saw you Saturday night at the BSM cruise, looked mint mate

[GH05T]

yeah i went, was an epic meet, i'm guessing 2-3000 cars.

32 ran well, had a chance to really rev it out and go for a decent drive which was nice.

On the run i pulled up at a set of lights next to a white 32gtr to which i strongly suggested he give me his grey dished panasports.... he declined

met him after and turns out he is Josh , owner of Forge Performance who i might go and see for a few things along the way which we discussed, nice bloke, not sure if i have seen him on here.

on that topic, we were discussing the car and some of its oddities/ rarities which include

no rear wiper

all the n1 bits (bonnet lip, sideskirts, rear spoiler (albeit missing) vents ect)

nismo 260 dash

we have been looking into its VIN which is still a bit perplexing, especially the last 3 digits which seem to be early 89 model only.
currently checking it out in the fast thread to see what it spits out, but it seems all the parts on the car are genuine and not just stuck on after which is nice to know.

will report back if it brings up anything of real interest.
