Modifying a R32


Recommended Posts

Guest sirmx6

Can anyone advise on what mods you would do to a R32 Gts-t and what you would expect them to do for the car.

Also, any facts or figures would be appreciated (power, acceleration etc)

Reason being is that i test drove one and they feel very very sluggish and not very quick.

Do they have ABS and 4WS ?? May be a little on the heavy side.

They feel pretty slow stock. Stock for stock my GTiR is alot faster than my old R32.

kabab ran 14.2 with a stock turbo, 13psi and an exhaust on his R32 gtst as a benchmark.

Stock turbo is pretty restrictive, throw on a decent size huffer, say GT2530, pump, reg, cooler, should see 200-220rwkw on tune.

Have a look in the engine bay - some models were equipt with ABS, others not. They did come with 4WS (HICAS), but the best move would be to buy a removal kit... :)

a stock r32 gts-t should pull a 14.5-14.7 preety easily.

fit a 3 inch zorst off the turbo, hi-flow air filter, FMIC, 14 psi, chiptoque chip or Apexi power fc, and your looking at approx 180kw@wheels, mayb more not sure, but at this power you will need a bigger clutch.

this should be good for a low 13 with street tyres

correct me if im wrong :)

Nah GT2530 is too restrictive Morgs you give it too much credit. The GT2835R however is like that cereal, just right.

Yeah it's off of a 300ZX, alchemist is correct in reccomending this. If you search the General and Performance forums you will find a fair amount of information on this, as well as RB20DET/R32 GTS-t power upgrades and stuff =)

Yeah its from the 300 yeah it bolts straight up and no worries with anything. Standard computer is fine with it. The turbo is good for 1 bar (14.7psi) but dont go any higher or u will end up losing your exhaust wheel. Your next step will be to cool the air with a decent cooler.

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
