Ive recently bought a R32 off my mate, for now it has all tha performance stuff i want done e.g front mount. But i have another 2k i can spend on the car, what do you guys recommend to do with the money, i was thinking about a bodykit but then i would be driving around with it unpainted then i was thinking of mags, but tires and mags dont think i have enough, so if it was you what would you spend the money on thanks.

Whats actually been done to the car performance wise? im sure theres some more go fast goodies you could for her :) but if you have everything already i would get the mags first

you don't want to go around with a nice looking car with a hot body kit with ugly wheels :|

well if i was in your situation..

so new car, and 2K to spend

firstly, i would do a full service - oil, oil filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, clean the coils, clean the AFM, clean the AAC valve (do a search for more info on this)

then i would take it to a mechanic and give it a power run on the dyno to check AFRs and check the health of the engine

now, its already got some go-fast bits, so i might check if its a full exhaust or a cat-back, and if its only cat-back then i would finish off the exhaust

now on an r32gtst you can run up to 14psi fairly safely so i would adjust up to 12-14psi and seee how it runs

with the rest of the money i would get the windows tinted, and look for a nice second-hand set of 18" rims with tyres already on them

hope that helps

Warren.

Maintainence is the key. You need a healthy motor for the go fast stuff to work. No point in spendin all your hard earned on go fast bits if the car doesnt go. This is what i would do

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
