how do you like your 32 compared to your old 180?

my 180 came on strong, but runs out of puff on top end, the skyline has no balls what so ever on low revs but when it picks up it picks up, handling wise i think the 180 was alot better, but then again i did have suspension bits, where as the skyline its just lowered, but id choose the rb zort note over the sr rawr ne day. Over all i think i broke even, not upgrading, not downgrading.

ps thanks for the positive comments.

hey shaun, nice ride.

i also had a 180sx (now have a r33). when i had my 180 it was reasonably stock (just exhaust, lowered and a bit more boost) and i found it a little bit sluggish down low, especially when i hopped into my missus SSS pulsar (natro sr). it would pull better out of slow corners but run out of puff up top.

the r33 i have now pulls nicely from about 2500-3000rpm. never driven a r32, but would like to some time. just have to wait for someone in town to buy 1 that is in ok condition (there are 2 in town but neither would pull the skin off a rice pudding).

    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
    • lights are on just the one click.  
    • Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.
    • When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
