Greetings everyone,

I got my R32 GTS-T about a year ago and to be honest haven't achieved much due to time restraints. :D I have alot of the components together to make the mild upgrades such as pod,cold air induction,R33 GTR cooler,exhaust and made up jaycar DFA,TBC and controller but still finding time hard to come by at present. Enough of my sobe story and to the point. I was hoping there was some one in or around brisbane with similar mods that wouldn't mind meeting up at some point to take me for a spin and show me what the potential is?

The reason i ask is, i'm a freshly qualified mechanic so i can perform the mods myself but will take some time when on the flip side, I have a good friend in a perfomance shop that has told me for the amount of effort,time and money involved i'd be better off with an S15 and applying these breathing and cooling mods to achieve a much more lieghtal car.

So what do you guys think? and is anyone willing to show me there car? can be out cruising or what ever!

CHEERS in advance :D

Cheers for the opinions guys

R33S2- I was Planing to sidle up to a few people at the next cruise but for obvious reasons would be reluctant to take me for a spin which would detract from their cuise. Can't blame em, I wouldn't on an organised cruise either. It sounds good also to just get the mods done and reep the rewards but i'm spread very thinly time wise along with a currently interstate relationship (i'm sure a few of you would know what thats like). For me half the fun of it is the build and i'm learning to do the fabrication etc. etc myself. I don't mind it taking time but i'd like to experience what i'm working towards.All that said, point taken

Mud- Thanks for the heads up on people to contact. Thats exactly what i need. Actually tried pred a couple of days ago without result, so i hope the PM went through ok

BASICALLY ALL I'M AFTER IS A ONE TIME SEAT OF MY PANTS EXPERIENCE OF THE BASIC MODS I'M SURE MOST HAVE ACHIEVED. SOIF ANYONE IS WILLING, PLEASE DON'T HESTATE TO REPLY! CHEERS

Read preds site as well as much info off the forum. GREAT FORUM BY THE BY! And NISMO-BOY, your car sounds like an impressive weapon but within my budget i would allow for a greatly depreciating car since i perchased it i can't justify the money or time so i'm only after a reasonable streeter with maybe a turbo upgrade when the standard dies.

BIG CHEERS FOR THE POSTS THOUGH GUYS!

Sweet mate, You sir are a bloody legend and not blowing wind up your arse but your domokun pics are hilarious!

I'm a west side boy around indrooroopilly area so when is good for you?

I want to wait til after the dyno tune on the 21st. At the moment I am ashamed of the idle. But good news is you'll be able to feel it at 250+rwkw instead of 230rwkw.

Remind me again after the 21st and we'll go for a spin.

Most appreciated 3LIT3 32. I'll PM you closer to the date!

Did you also know that their is a nissan cruise to hinze dam on the 29th so it'd be great to see you out to kill some of the boost cruisers! all the details are in QLD events if interested

Still very interested if anyone else is willing as my expected power will be around the 150 to 160rwKw range which is well under 3LIT3 32's! So any other offers with similar mods to what i plan would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Don't be modest.

I'm not...it's a shitter.

Paint chips on the bonnet, center air vent has come out, centre console is coming apart, bootlid has more metallic in it so it looks more silvery than black, squeaks, rattles.

So yeah, it's shitty. apart from the flames...they're cool. Airplanes miss the runway when I'm driving over the gateway bridge coz they are dazzled by the light.

I could turn the boost down, fuel pressure, back the timing off. You could have all the comforts of an almost stock 32....cept the 100db out the exhaust lol

I'm on the goldcoast, could give u a ride with mild mods and the rb25 highflow (goes ok), but to be honest its auto so there goes 20-30% of the power and 90% of the fun.

Beau's one might not be a bad one.. least its manual :P

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
