**warning, warning, newbie newbie**

Just worked up the courage for my 1st post/thread, have been a

silent observer on SDU since oct 2001 and here on

skylinesaustralia from the beginning. I met MyGtst earlier

this year on my way home from my old job and caught up

with Diabolik1 and 88silouette last Sunday on the R31 club cruise.

I had a ball with all who went and look forward to meeting as many people as I can who also share the same passion for these remarkable automobiles as I do. I have owned a black R32 GTS-t since January with a few mods that won't be lonely for long! I don't know why I haven't posted untill now but this is definitely the first of many and I look forward to meeting as many of you and your cars as possible.

see you all soon

Rhys

unfortunately my girlfriend was born on the 3rd of

November and as the saying goes man, "Hell hath no fury...."

but I will be there in spirit. Hey I should be free from now until the 3rd

if there are any other crooze's that may happen. My brother has a kickass

R31 coupe that is about 1/2 to 1 carlength quicker than me (bastard) and I'll let him know.

Hi everybody,

I am also a new member, have also been reading the boards for a while but only registered today. I am Skylarks little bro by the way. I own a 1987 skyline import with minor mods. It would be good to get to know some fellow skyline enthusiasts. :uh-huh:

hey mygtst, it took me a while to get up the nerve, dunno why? Bad news dude, all those hoses and fittings you wanted me to get for you, no can do mate, I am no longer working at the truck joint sorry.:) But my new career will prove far more lucrative for the little R32.

Hope we'll catch up soon

Rhys.

    • 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!
