Hi guys,

A few people have asked me for some info i have on 32 GTRs. I have a japanese GTR book at home which has a lot of specific info on 32 GTRs. Like which chassis numbers correspond to which model. Which colours were available over which model, and of course the spec level. Unfortunately the text is in japanese, but it is still quite usefull.

Here's the first one:

Vspec II

Scanning the pages is not so good for the book, but i did get N1, Vspec, and nismo too, i'll post them up a bit later on if anyone wants to see them.

this should be very helpfull to anyone trying to determine the pedigree of a GTR. I'm not keen to do many more scans as it's not good for the book, but i'll post up the standard GTR pages tomorrow. It has both the early models, and late models listed seperately.

and cowie, it's probably just aftermarket tweeters. some of the cars they used as examples had a few little add-ons. like the volk rims, etc etc. but all the info is there :D

from what i've been able to learn about the nismo models is there were pretty much like a dealer special we have here. they had no abs, no rear wiper, had the full body kit (bonnet lip, side skirts, rear boot lip), nismo spot lights. but they had standard brakes, standard clutch, standard sus (i think). I'm not positive on whether or not they had different turbos, but if they did i would say they would be pretty close to standard, just with steel wheels. also as with most of these 'special' models you could ask for options when you bought it so you could see nismo gtrs with rear wiper etc, possibly even with ABS which confuses things a little. the best way is to just go off the chassis number.

With my scratchy Japanese...

Differences between the Nismo and standard...

Intercooler setup??

Intake setup with vents in front bar

No cross-drilled brake rotors

No ABS or Air con

No rear wiper

Side skirts are different

No audio

Nismo sticker!

Lip on end of bonnet just near grille

Lip under the rear wing

Limited run of 500 units, build dates 22 Feb 90 - 11 March 90, BNR32-100001-1000560, all gun metal grey.

Hope this helps!

sorry i've been to busy to get the new scans up. I'm not sure which one i got these articles out of. I have a few at home. one is the history of nismo 50th aniversary book, another is just called 32 GTR i think. actually i think they came out of the second one as the nismo book is mostly about race cars, racing history etc.

      Compressor flow comparison table

      By Lithium · Posted

      A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By Joni Boi · Posted

      I know right. It baffled me. There's no way when the engine is off, key is in ignition, (coils are dissconnected aswell), also my sound system was dissconnected (I don't run any audio capacitors), battery reads 12.2v and with the 10amp fuse blown I was measuring 24 to 30v. The reading would move a bit from 30v to 24v which was weird. I took a pic of the multi meter reading 🤣: (This is a brand new single channel digital oscilloscope that also has a multi meter mode).   Before when the fuse was blown, I had one lead on the 12v supply (green/white wires) of that brown relay and the other lead on the negative battery terminal. When I turned the key on ignition (engine off), it would read 30v. Then when I removed that relay from it's plug and tried putting ignition on again, it would read 12v, but I think it's because it can't turn on the ecu now that I removed it. I asked Chatgpt and this is what it had to say:   Not sure if those theories would be possible but, any auto sparkies here? welcome to confirm. 🤷‍♂️  No idea, but if it happens again, atleast I know what type of issue it is, unlike last few months where I didn't know what was causing all my issues and I was just taking stabs in the dark to figure out what type of problem it was. If it does happen again I'm going to investigate futher and trace back the source even more and inspect more circuits. I drove it to work this morning and the car drove and boosted fine. Yeah I was thinking the same, so I've imported my back up saved map (which is the map that I saved when it got done tuning) back onto my haltech with the base fuel pressure set to 43.5psi.

      Yeh nice, if your in melbourne could you recommend any exhaust shops in the east that do a good job?
