GTS-ts are cool ummkay, look at Bradley Sheriff, got put in the naughty corner for going sub 2m09s and then had his lap time removed.

All the Ford/Holden (inserts nice words) would have had a sook big time if they didn't.

I was so close to getting this back on Nov. ticked all the boxes and was the rare metallic green. Second guessed myself thinking I should get a GT-R instead. Instant regrets

  • 2 months later...

thanks lads, good peer support in convincing me to not buy a GTR.

 

just picked up an R32 GTS4 for twice what I paid for the same car 14 years ago.

close to 100k in parts spent/installed/to be installed on a shit box R33 GTS-t :D 

I entertained the idea of leaving the Nissan world last night to my wife, she said  something along the lines of (including the profanity: "no fking way, you're going to sell it and one day bring home another shit box. I prefer if you keep this shit box"

It starts getting truly crazy if you put an $$ hourly rate on the time you've spent working on the car. 

If my shitbox vanished into a blackhole, the saddest part for me would be all the time lost that I had poured into the car.

And add in all the times I shouted mates dinner, drinks, Jap BBQ, bottles of whisky, slabs of beer, etc. then add in my time tuning, wiring, hiring dynos, it becomes seriously stupid.

Hence a stock M3 F80 just makes more sense now. Slap on some R compound and out of the box it will do faster lap times than the shit box could ever do.

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
