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:

K&N pod filter

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

Garrett TO4E Turbo 600hp $1,430.00

Five R Racing - RB25/20DET Stainless Turbo Manifold $879.00

Greddy SPEC-M Intercooler Kit - Nissan Skyline R32 GTS-T (RB20DET) $880.00

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?

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
