Greetings everyone! 

My name's Tom

I've been registered already for a little while but i was still waiting with introducing myself since i was still waiting on my very own BNR32.

But since not too long i can finally drive and enjoy this car to the fullest!

Welcome Tom!

I'm sure you'll get a lot of enjoyment, and a measure of frustration from your GTR.  There's a wealth of knowledge on this forum, and very few questions that haven't been answered.  More than a few views about making a good thing even better too!

Gidday! Great car...do you have any problems with the law regarding the steering wheel being on the wrong side?

Actually the placement of the steering wheel is not much of an issue. All you need to do is convert your headlights for lhd-traffic. Additionally here, i needed to add a rear foglight and those fugly reflectors. (Don't worry they'll be gone soon^^)

But to get started, belgium is rather strict on carmods... that means you need to find a car that's as much as possible in stock form, just for the homologation on belgian roads. If you get lucky you can get through with a lowered car... but no guarantee. 

But i'm really stoked to be able to finally drive it. It took almost 6 months from start to finish.

Thx Dale! 

I'm really glad to finally be able to post on the forum. I've taken quite a lot of looks around on the forum, it's a real treasure trove of knowledge ?

Every day i like the car more and more. Can't wait to get my hands more dirty on it. ?

Thx mate!

Real JDM- cars are indeed quite rare, but there's definately an amount of them rolling on the road or being built.  Depends when & where. Japfest in 'zandvoort' is one of the bigger jdm-meets where they like to pop up  ofcourse ^^

Welcome Tom! 

Car looks great! So cool to hear from owners on the other side of the world! 

 

Thx! Likewise for me it's great to see how much the skyline platform still is loved in australia. Such a community is something you can only wish for over here.

All the knowledge you can find here and ofcourse oem parts are exceptionally hard to come by. ?

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
