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.

    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
