Mine is an R32 2 Door with Cusco Zero 1 Suspension, 3.5" turbo back exhaust with 4" canon, Stock type M body with GTR front bar, GTR bonnet and GTR front Grill.

Edited by --{TRYDIS}--

the cusco zero 1 arnt ment for sydney roads lol i like them heaps ive got alot more handling capabilities but each pot hole u go over, each lil bump feels like hell which aint too good for em aswell. overall i rate them highly but sydney roads are shit house.

I've got bilsteins (sk group buy type thing) and they are the best for the money by far. I've also got big arse sway bars, 2 way diff, and supergrippy tyres. So it turns rather good.

But yeah, whatever you do DONT GET PILLOW BALL STRUT TOPS!!! They are horrible bastard things.

i have a similar setup to dangerous daveo. Jic coilovers rebuilt with bilstein insertsand eibach springs. 6 k front 4 k rear. i like it ..works well on the street and track. also s13 adjustable swaybars and strut braces. also turns rather good ! hehe (tires are my weak point at the moment.)

I also have SK group buy stuff with his Bilsteins, whiteline springs, pineapples and sway bars. Also Cusco Adj rear camber arms, cusco adj caster rods, cusco tension bar, and a Nismo front strut brace with brake cylinder stopper.

For the Exhaust I have a CES split front/dump pipe (hpc coated), magnaflow 3" metal cat and kakimoto 3" cat back.

The only body mod I have is a Nismo grill. It all seems to work pretty well. I can't speak highly enough of the suspension setup for road and track.

4dr R32 GTS-t

Suspension:

Bilstein B6 shocks, converted to coilovers with 7/5 kg/mm Eibach springs, all organised by SK.

Whiteline 27/24mm swaybars, random jap adjustable front upper arms, Tein castor rods, Whiteline rear camber bushes, alloy subframe bushes, Apexi front strut brace.

Exhaust:

HKS superdrager 3" catback, 3" front/dump pipe.

Body:

Genuine GTR front bar and factory option sideskirts.

i heard lots of people told me top pillow ball mount is good. they r 4 camber adjustable. Can u tell me wats wrong with em thanks.

Will the r32 2 door exhaust with on 4 door ? i also heard GTR front bar wont fit 2 4 door.

Thanks

People say pillowball mounts are good because all the Japanese stuff comes with em. When new, they will provide a bee's dick of an improvement in handling, once worn (doesn't take long to wear) they will be knocking like crazy and be worse than bushes.

Camber tops that have adjustment will do nothing on double wishbone suspension cars, the upper and lower control arms are what control the camber.

My exhaust is off a GTR, so yes a 2dr exhuast will fit, I think they're a tiny bit shorter though, not enough to worry about, mine fits fine.

Well I've got the GTR front bar on my car, so I'm gonna say it fits :)

Nah, it doesn't line up perfectly with the guards, so it bulges a bit at the front, and you need a GTR reo or to cut yours up.

If you want to do it all properly, you'd need GTR guards and GTR indicators. Might need headlights aswell, but I'm not too sure

Basically what salad said. It seriously drives me insane the knocking Im putting up with now, and I just had the bearings pressed 2months ago. Its not worth it.

i look in some pics tat r32 doesnt have top pillow mount rite ? Im thinking 2 get HSD HR coilovers do they have top pillow mount on them ? is the pillow can be rebuild ?

Thanks

in japan... and for drift...

we usually run the standard coilover...

CST, KST, Blade, HKS.... they all use the same coilvers they just slap there name brands on them...

for the Cefiro (S13 same) just shell out about $750 on average for a set fully adjustable blah blah... change the springrates (F:10k R:8k) and your good to go...

and for exhaust... Its Dart Izumi all the way... BUT since my exhaust is half SR half Cefiro its 80mm all the way back with a DI Twin tip... and a Apex EVC flap sandwiched after the J-pipe. so basically loud flame spitting kaos...

Not sure what you mean by the first question

Yes, HSD HRs come with pillowball/spherical bearing tops

Not sure about rebuilding, but if it can be done it wont be cheap...

So is HSD HR good 4 street, circuit and drift ? which model is better then ?

HSD HR is OK for street, seems to work well for drift, not sure about circuit. But you can get much much better than HSD, they are a cheap coilover aimed at a price bracket, so they will skimp on things to meet this bracket. Same with all cheap coilovers/shocks.

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
