Hey,

I’m Ben and I’m 18 and live in Brisbane. I’m extremely into skylines and im looking into buying my own r32 gts-t in the next 2 weeks and joining you guys in the sau community.

I will be buying a stock r32 so id like to get a body kit (amongst other things) for it, what type of kit should I get the Price isn’t an issue. If u know any websites, which has a variety of kits, I can look at please reply with the URL or the name of one that you like for me to look up.

Thanks in advance

Oh ok cool.

Will you be going performance or just making it look good.

Putting a bodykit on it straight away will look pretty strange on a stock r32.

Maybe go for some wheels first and then a bkit then concider lowering it. Theres a certain order of things you need to do sometimes.

If the engines stock what do u need a short shift kit for :dry:

You should do the engine up a little bit before shit like that.

Full exhaust system: Larger diametre dump pipe, Headers, New cat, And a full cat back with a new muffler ;)

Pod filter and maybe cold air intake,

Boost controller and crank the boost up on the stock turbo to about 10 - 12 PSI

and a new BOV.

Thats just what id do if i had a gts-t but im not allowed one :wave:

Ask people on here about what the best brands and prices are and where/where not to go.

Also things like gear knobs and steering wheels arent to great unless you plan on turning your car into a boyracer, But its your car so go hard out :wave:

Your exaust system controlls your car emissions.. If you know how an engine works then you will know what the exhaust is used for.

Pod filter or air any sort of intake filters are your source of air induction, Again if you know how an engine works you will know why you need air intake.

Boost controllers set the amount of pressurised air being put into the engine from the turbo.

A compressor bypass valve (CPV) also known as a compressor relief valve is a vacuum-actuated valve designed to release pressure in the intake system of a turbocharged car when the throttle is lifted or closed. This air pressure is re-circulated back into the non pressurized end of the intake (before the turbo) but after the mass airflow sensor.

A blowoff valve, (BOV, sometimes hooter valve) does basically the same thing, but releases the air to the atmosphere. This creates a very distinctive sound desired by many who own turbocharged sports cars. Some blowoff valves are marketed with trumpet shaped exits that amplify the "psshh" sound. For some owners this is the only reason to fit a BOV.

Hope this clears up some things

i bought a stock r33 and built it up myself. trust me it isnt cheap and it never ends. if you can your way better off buying one in good condition but already with a kit youd like. Talk to steve69s@f**khotmail.com he's got a sweet r32 hes looking to part with but hasnt advertised yet.

dont get a kit without rims, it'll look totally stupid, and u'll get no "respect" wat so ever, which is what i think ull be wanting.

get kit and rims and suspension at the one time if possible. kit wise id go a do luck kit, with prolly some do luck rims if ur after look. then ull need it re-sprayed.

then exhaust, caus itll look ghey with a kit, rims, suspension with the stock exhaust.

then pod filter. boost controller & aftermarket computer. then some slotted rotors, good pads & decent fluid.

thats how i went with my R33, which ill tell u i had BEFORE i got my licence, and now im 19 and have an R32 gtr thats almost finished being built :ermm:

oh, and dont go driving like u stole it, caus u being inexperienced WILL crash

Why does everyone think a pod filter is better than the standard intake?? There have been countless tests of these filters and the winner was always the standard intake with an aftermarket panel filter!!

And the BOV is going to draw too much attention so if you can afford it, get the Stealth from GFB as it can be hand-switched between loud or full plumb-back settings. If you get an exhaust, do it right the first time and get good quality dumps from the turbo, an aftermarket cat that won't restrict the flow and a good solid cat-back exhaust that is legal!! First thing they look for is the BOV followed by the exhaust!!

Depending on what you want first here is a list of the common things to change to get it up to a beastie in the order I did them (sort of anyway).

Air Filter

Exhaust

Shocks and springs and pineapples

Strut braces

BOV

ECU (computer)

Boost Controler

Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC)

Fuel pump

Fuel pressure Regulator

Spark plugs Timing belt and water pump

Went back to standard BOV

Brake booster stop

turbo

Coming soon (or later)

disc rotors

injectors

HD sway bars

You may want to make it look good first, that is up to your own taste, I'm quite happy with the look, but the bonnet with the wheels was a great improvement and I dont have plans for anything else, whatever you do DO NOT use fibreglass for a front bar or side skirts, it just doesnt last.

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
