  1. Hey guys i have an r32 gtr and got the money to start getting my build ready etc. although im having trouble finding a decent intercooler core. Im running a gtx35 and got advice to get something like 100mm thick a.r.c intercooler. I had a look on the net etc and only found things really expensive or real cheapo's. For instance greenline jap has cores there for the gtr like ARC for 1800 etc.. or cooling pro for like 400 but i dont want to go something cheap. Where can i get a decent cooler thats not $2000? I found pwr for like 900 but there only 83mm.
  2. how come this thread died, i want answers! Does any of these people experience their battery drained when the car is off? I have to keep taking my battery off so i can come back and start it AND ITS REALLY ANOYING!
  3. yeah in goes right into the steering column. Should be a white mechanism. What ever looks like the whole part ill buy. If its not to much trouble to take a picture?
  4. Have u got the whole blinker switch? My contactors dont work inside it causing 1 of my high beams not to work for rego. Would be great if u had that!
  5. any chance of getting some better quality and more photos of the greddy 1 plz!
  6. Hey mate do u have the blinker switch. I have been told that the contacter in mine doesnt work properly so my high beams wont work when i push the leaver forward but works when i flick them back as if your flashing some one. so yeah the whole blinker switch would be great!
  7. still for sale guys, very good very cheap ecu, come on guys!
  8. This unit i bought off here from another trusted member, for $500, my plans have change for the car and dont need it anymore. I didnt even use it. So ill be asking for the same price. works with either r32 or r33. Looks in good condition. $500 is the final price. Doesnt come with hand controller BTW. You can buy the new LED hand controller off many websites and shops that work with any apexi version for around 350-400 i think for those who dont no. I attached photos. If you cant see them, ill send them to you another way if needed. Cheers.
  9. Just a quick question, doing my r32 gtr single turbo built soon with a gtx35. My mechanic advises me to put a decent head gasket to be safe, in doing this he suggest to take the engine out to install most items he can also change the head gasket, and i thought while hes got that off why not throw in some nice cam shafts to support a decent sized single turbo. Its not a track car or anything so im not real worried about low end torque, more in the way to support the turbo in mid/high range. Any suggestions on brand and degree's to point me in the right direction. I was looking at the tomei poncam type B's that come with cam gears aswell. Just drop in ones. Also i was looking at intake manifolds, unnecessary? the stock one looks pretty good to me although it would be easy to change doing all this. Thanks p.s (has to sound wicked, idling in someones window at a set of lights too!)
  10. Hey guys just wondering if anyone has bought off nengun.com before, especially a few grand worth of items. It looks very legitament although I'm a bit reluctant spending a few grand over the internet. Whats the service like and parts you get are true brand items? Any dealings with this mob would be use full. cheers all
  11. Yeah same, i love jap brands. I had a look at ARC intercoolers and they sound like a good suggestion, as i just measured my intercooler core and its about 60mm thick. So i think ill definantly be looking into 100mm thick arc cooler, pricey but worth it! Thanks again for the advice.
  12. yeah true, i contacted gcg and they said there getting them very soon, all the bigger sized turbos are twin scroll so its gunna be interesting to see if they get those expensive manifolds too for like $2200 from full race. Wonder how much just the turbo kid is going to cost.. another question on intercoolers, im pretty sure my intercooler is stock although it does had nismo sprayed on the front of it. for big single turbo obviously you would need large intercooler yer? What brand/size/type would i get? cause i noticed u can get so called drag ones that a massive "bar and plate, 3.15" outlets, 600x300x120 or is that over the top and 600x300x100 do fine? Would i get bar and plate or tube and fin? suggested brands too Oh and umm what size outlets do you generally look for. Same size on the outlet of the turbo or bigger? Cheers!
  13. yeah true, ive been looking at that efr series and it looks really good. I think i might try them if they come out soon. I couldnt find any information on when they come out in australia. I found one website that selling them in usa called full race. So i dont no why we dont have them yet but ah well hope fully soon. Cheers for the advice baron
  14. Yeah mate sounds like a really good suggestion. Im definantly gunna try get that radiator/oil kit instead. I was also wondering what u would think about the GTX3571r, not many people have tried the gtx series, i was going to get the t04z turbo kit from gcg before i found out about the new range (gtx). What would u choose for a decent sized single turbo? Thanks heaps for the help btw beer baron
  15. yeah thats true, i think i might settle with the gtx3571r as its big enough for my needs. My only comparism was my brothers gts-t and he had a gt34 something apparently it was a specially made drag one he was one of the lucky ones and got one. That really worked well. So for a rb26 i rekon the 35 will suite my needs. It would definantly beable to handle like 20-25 pounds yeah? Aight ill cross the fuel rail off my list. Thanks heaps Yeah so i was right heading towards the 700-800cc mark for injectors. Any of those pumps sounds good to me. Just one pump? i noticed alot of people use 2? Thanks for the tuner advice. Ill have a look at them. Although i dont think HITMAN is very good, when my mate got his pfc tuned apparently he only tuned it from the handcontroller? Cause when he took it to another tuner he said the tune on this was shit running rich and could make another 20-30kw safetly and better daily driver. So i dont no ill have a look tho thanks heaps. Yeah i just spoke to the guy who orderd my pwr radiator and he said hes gunna get the money back and go through someone else cause we have been waiting for months... I mentioned to him the pwr also make a built in oil cooler kit that u told me earlier and he said hell have look into it for me and re order it through someone else. Thanks heaps for that sounds heaps good idea
  16. Yeah u are right it is a stupid list, although i mainly did it to get responses like yours. Telling me exactly whats not worth getting or should get later down the track but not so much needed atm. I also did it for information i didnt no like the hoses. Everyone has jumped out and straight away said dont get these hoses get genuine etc. which was exactly what i needed. I can spend hours sorting through peoples information or get straight cut answers that answer to my needs. Well is does have a very good twin plate clutch in it already which i did forget to mention. I just assumed the brake setup was rather decent stock because it was built to win races right? so why wouldnt they use a decent setup? The suspension seems fine atm but i will look at the later on or if i have spare cash to buy at the same time. Gear box, feels good nick when im driving it so i just assumed it would be ok for a while longer. You are right about assuming its been babied cause in those 77 thousand k's could been reved out every time. Although these cars were pretty much built to do that so in stock form it cant of hurt it that bad cause they been tweaked down so hard, and the chances of it even been thrashed every its been driven seems highly unlikely and i noticed in most cases the ones that have been thrashed or ran really hot i noticed paint of the intake manifold and other such things. which in my case looks in good nick thats all, or just respayed but everyone ive showed, says its a very nice, clean gtr especially the engine, even my mechanic has said the engine looks very good. So is the stock fuel rail fine? when do u upgrade the fuel rail then like only 1000+hp or something? I just thought while doing the fuel system i would get a whole new setup. I have been thinking about the turbo setup too. seemed way to big, I am now leaning towards the gtx35 or maybe even twin gtx30's which would be interesting. So what injecters would i be looking at like 1000cc? Thanks heaps for your help
  17. Ah really well if it adds a port for fuel pressure guage and good for tuning etc, ill most likely get one, As i do want to put all the major guages in, as i do like to keep an eye on everything and how things are running. Yeah 350kw is probably the max ill go before doing the internals to keep it safe. even that seems high to some people. Although the gtr is in good nic and only 77 thousand k's and kept stock seems like it has been well looked after and will beable to handle it. So ill probably get any of the drop in pumps u suggested. Ah ok thanks heaps i didnt even realise i need the 2 pods and afm setup for a single turbo. But i no what u mean cause ive seen that on most big single upgrades for the gtr's. Yeah moodles said the same thing about the silicon hoses, ill definantly get either genuine hoses or samco as u suggested. Aight that might be a good idea to save that stuff for stage 2 as hell be taking the engine out anyways. Yeah im not to sure i asked a mate to order in the pwr radiator for me, i didnt no that u could get oil cooler built in so i doubt he got that one. Probably just the standard one it cost about 950 cant remember as it was a while ago and were still waiting for it. Is their a big waiting list or something? lol. should really give him a call... but yeah ill definantly get a decent oil cooler kit likes a blitz one specially made for gtr. I heard the universal kits arnt that good. Oil pressure problems or something i dont no. Well i live in sydney so yeah im sure theres lots of decent tuners out there that do the power fc, but any suggestions? for 1200 id want the best haha cheers mate thanks for the good idea's and suggestions id definantly do some more research and probably go with ure ideas. p.s i ran my idea's off to a mate about the gtx series turbos and he suggestions heading towards the 35. Although he did have an idea of maybe even running twin gtx30's, even tho i wanted the big single, that doesnt sound half bad? what u guys think?
  18. Ah really i always thought the fuel pressure reg was a must have in upgrading. Which injecters how can u tell what fill work the best. i would of thought for the 35 or 42 800cc would be fine, would i really need 1000cc or something similar? Ill have a look at some of those jap pumps although its weird how everyone uses the bosch, walbro or sard. Im pretty sure there just dropin aswell. I didnt realise n1 pumps were not as good as i thought. Ill definantly take your word for it and spend the extra money on getting a tomei pump or nitto. cheers. Ill definantly take all ure oil control ideas in consideration most likely ill do it as u said they will need to take the bottom off. So ill probably do what u said cause the from what i heard the rb26 has oil heating problems or is that just with track use. Ill definantly replace with genuine hoses as i didnt no about the pinholes Yeah ill have a look at doing map sensor but i dont no where i got this from but i thought they werent as accurate or harder to tune or something i dont no so i was trying to avoid it but probably the right way to go. Im pretty sure the new controllers are universal for all apexi pfc versions exept for some random cars version which doesnt really matter to us skyline users
  19. Hey guys,I own a 90 r32 GTR 77000kms its getting to that time where ive been doing some research and ruff ideas of what i wanted to do with the car in two stages, really because of budget. First stage is a budget of around 20 grand to do a big single turbo up grade with supporting mods and doing a couple of extra things to make the car running nice eg. new hoses etc. Stage two will be done much later down the track as i need to get money for it will be either a decent stroker kit or a built rb30 bottom. Which is hard because alot of people support both sides. But thats another story and a long way away. First i wanted to get some ideas and a list of what my budget would offer best. My list atm is All parts i used a JJA web site for a quick refference for pricing although id probably shop around and cut alot $$ off these items. Injecters - sard 800cc = $1000 Fuel reg - sard fuel pressure reg = $289 Fuel rail - sard fuel rail 11mm = $460 Fuel pump - sard 280L/H = $600 * not sure about that alot of people use bosh fuel pumps and alot cheaper i just thought i had every thing else sard so why not keep it a sard fuel system lol.. Spark plugs - Iridium sparks ruff = $150 coil parks - Split fire = $650 coil pack loom - genuine = $180 *i saw this as an extra as i thought bran new wiring loom would be good but unneccesary. Probably wont get that. Oil pump - N1 oil pump = $579 catch can - D1 spec = $90 *not sure about this item any suggestions, is it nessesary? Oil cooler kit - brand name built for r32 gtr ruff estimate = $1250? Silicon engine hose kit = $300 *extra, new hoses would worth doing right? cam gears - HKS; IN + EX = $550 Boost controller - E-boost 2 = $800 * probably over kill for a ebc. Just my bro had one and i really liked it. Apexi FC ECU - Just need hand controller, as i bought a second hand ECU without hc Hope it works! so new hc works with all apexi versions = $450? AFM - bonsh Z32 + tomei plug = $370 Now turbo im unsure off, I really leaning towards the new series of GTX. Although they dont have a big range yet so they have a big jump from the 3571R to the 4294R, Im leaning towards the 42 as i did want a big single and when i get stage 2 done i think it would be good. Open to suggestions. From gcg i used a t04z turbo kid but used 42 turbo instead. Turbo kit - from gcg t04z kit is $4265-2227(t04z) = 2038 + 2910(cost of GTX 4294R)= $4948 Exhaust - unsure my guess between $1000-2000. say $1500? Radiator - already paid for PWR waiting to be made. Tuning - $700-1000? Labour - Id say anywear between $3000-4000? Anything ive missed would be helpfull like gaskets and adapters etc what ever else i need that would be important or would be worth upgrading while doing some of these installations. The car already has N1 water pump. Every thing else is mostly stock. As i said before all this was just from one website without shopping around so i could probably shave heaps of this and the turbo differences alone was $900 between the 35 and 42. I heard gcg charge much higher for the stuff i dont no if this is true tho. I will be doing a picture maybe even video diary of the car cause i no how use full some of these builds and to see the out come, with dyno tunes and peformance gains. Cheers guys sorry for grammer and spelling, sloppy typer with computor jargan. appreciate the help and ideas etc!
  20. Hey guys im currently buying a power fc, and had a look where the ecu goes in my r32 gtr and i found it was an impul high powerd racing ecu or something already in it. Still the power fc would be good for later down the track for tuning etc, but i read that the impul does a few things for eg, change ignition timing, air/fuel ratio, boost limiter, gets rid of rev and speed cut, not too sure about them tho. So my question is would it still be better putting the power fc in? does the power fc do these things aswell? Should i keep the impul in until i get a few mods done then i can tune the power fc? What should i do? Just your advice and knowledge on this would be great guys thanks.
  21. Ah k shame, i really had hopes it was a nismo version lol. had the bonnet lip, the dash, stickers etc. And the car was pretty much stock. All it has is a cat back exhaust, pods and rwd switch lol. ah well thanks alot mate. shhh "ill just pretend its a nismo anyway" shh hahha
