Fairly long mod list all of which are support mods and fairly unexciting :P. The car has had a complete GTR conversion from engine to seats. Just got the body repaired (inc new rad support), sprayed up and kitted (although i'm thinking of going to a GTR frontbar, the URAS is way too low for street use) at DT panels in Springvale. Anyways here are some pics for your entertainment :P.

Well those photos were taken in tassy where I have just come back from holidays. Hit up a few mountains down there and it certainly impressed :P. Given that the whole front end is GTR (panels wheels brakes etc..) it handles just like a GTR.

If ya don;t mind me asking? How much did u pay for the front GTR gaurds? and how did they go fitting up? Im wanting to look into getting some for my 4dr but still don't know which way i want to go.

Also how did u go with the rear gaurd flaring? Looks like a good job. I assume u sprayed ya car after you roled/ flared them.

All questions welcome :laugh: don't be shy.

Guards aren't cheap.. over 300 each but there are some a lot cheaper I think for sale atm already primed in vic (just check to see how straight they are first!). They fit up fine but make fitting any sideskirts or gts-t frontbars a nightmare :D plus you need indicators.. so it all adds up pretty quick. My sideskirts are bent right around to fit over the guards and I definately wouldn't recommend doing that.. the only option which I can really see is to get gtr sideskirts and gts-t sideskirts of the same company and cut and paste.. expppeennssive. They do however change the entire road presence of the car and give it a much more aggressive profile and also help get some weight off the front! Definately don't regret getting them :wave:.

The guards were rolled by an NS member called athid, pm me for more details if interested he goes out and rolls many guards a week and is expert with Nissans :). My paint flaked, 90% of R32's paint will flake, so you pretty much should expect that.. although you can probably repaint over for a cheaper alternative. If you are getting a respray.. get the guards done.. cheap and excellent mod :wave:. My guards were rolled the day before it got painted up :). With the amount I have done (which is basically the maximum you can do to a 4 door) I should be able to happily fit GTR offset wheels. Another thing to note is that due to the design of the metal and underlying support on 4 doors (this isn't an issue for 2 doors) It seems almost certain that the metal above the flare will "pop" out and that the rear door seal will move up slightly. A good solid thump (one way is with yellow pages and a big tap :)) will "pop" it back in but again you might need to do some work on the paint if unlucky and the door seal cannot really be fixed (although it didn't have any noticeable effect whatsoever on the door operation on my car).

Engine isn't really modified (at least not to my knowledge) stock R32 1994 engine with stock turbos, Greddy 65mm (I think) intercooler + piping, 044 fuel pump, blitz dual screen BC, 3 inch exhaust, big koyo radiator and that's about it. 2 weeks ago it got 218.7 rwkw on the dyno which is a little less than I had hoped but pretty decent for 1 bar boost. Hoping to get a powerfc and some cam gears fairly soon and make up my mind on a nice set of steel wheeled turbos but for now i'm just enjoying having it back on the road :laugh:.

I agree with what you said about the front bar. I was going to suggest the GTR front bar. Are the rear seats also GTR? Would be curious to see how good they looked :).

Sadly not i've been hoping to get some GTR seats for the rear but alas none have come up at a decent price lately. Apparently they fit with only minor mods but have around an inch extra space between the sides and the material.

Marco, the engine -> gearbox is all straight out of GTR, the tailshaft is 4 door GTS-4 the rest everything else is the same in both GTS-4 and GTR.

Just go through the for sale section. I saw a couple of sets ranging from 100-200. I've heard no mods for the rear seats, only like an inch gap either side too, not that noticable apparently though. Good luck.

I think it needs to be lower :D

What are you rim/tyre specs? Width, offset etc.

Those pics are pretty old, is it still looking like that?

Just GTR rims with the standard tyre :S. Nothing much has changed.. had a year off cars (well actually I bought a silvia and farted about with that instead). Also I don't really want it lower, it is just far too impractical.

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

      Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.

      What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
