Hey guys i've got a R32, its pretty well stock at the moment, looking to spend some money on it to get it to a pretty quick street car, its a daily driver so its got to be drivable.

The car currently has:

Greddy turbo timer

Autogage monster tacho with shift light

Autometer cobalt series boost gauge

Exedy heavy duty clutch

I've collected a list of items and their prices that i would like to buy for the car, them me what you think of the brands their prices and any different options that may be better and/or cheaper.

Microtech LT12S $1,495.00

Microtech 4-line hand controller $195.00

Turbosmart Blow-off Valve Type-3 Supersonic $399.00

Turbosmart Street-Gate - 38mm Wastegate $550.00

He has a GTS4, so just use the RB25... no gearbox.

Although you'd be VERY hard pressed to get an RB25 + box for 2k in any sort of decent condition.

The boxes alone are $1300-$1500... a running RB25 wont sell for $500, closer to 1-1.5k IMO with loom etc etc.

Im also the vote for using a hi-flow or something that bolts onto the stock manifold.

Ext gates/old design garret turbos are not what you need to be playing around with when there is stuff that does the same job, and better

if you find a rb25 + gb for 2k it must have like 300xxx k's on it :D. The gearboxes alone are ~1500min!

i would go with what mafia has said.

you would looking around 1750 for a gcg highflow

i wouldn't bother going for an engine swap for 250rwkw

engine swap you would also have to factor in the install cost (and a realistically priced engine)which adds up

I agree with your computer. I don't agree with your simple idea's.

Why do you think that your huge power will be supported by standard injectors and fuel pump? Is it because you didn't think about this at all?

Why not start off with a full exhaust including dump pipe. A cheaper manifold, if you must change at all. A hi-flow turbo. A cheaper intercooler. Then the ECU. Then tune it up, see how the injectors go, see how the fuel pump goes. Be prepared to change them. Why do you need a hand controller? Are you a tuning guru? If its because your tuner doesn't have a controller for microtech, I'd say they'd be more comfortable with a different computer, go with that computer. If your tuner is unknown to you at this point, I wouldn't be thinking about a computer until you do know who will tune the car.

Its all well and good to get the good stuff, but you seem to have missed alot of basics.

School holidays are almost over anyway...

If I've insulted you unfairly, then sorry, my real advice is:

go through the dyno results for your engine and see what others have done and see if you would be happy with those sort of setup's.

No not insulted mate, thanks for the tips.

I was just surfing the net looking at bits and pieces thats how the list came about, injectors is something i didnt think about. Make sense though

Let me ask you two simple questions...

what sort of power are you aiming for?

and how much do you have to spend?

Mate i dont have a set power figure in mind, just want it to be faster that what it is now

$10,000 is what i thinking about spending, what do you think of this budget and what would you spend it on?

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
