the other car i drive is a ford au fairmont auto. this car feels pretty damn quick when you floor it. would i get the same sort of rush from a completely stock r32 gtst or is it out of the falcons league (being a 2002 model car)?

also, does the stock bov in the gtst give off a nice loud pshhhht?

thanks

Hey man,

If your looking for a clean R32 GTS-T ready for you to do mods, why dont you buy mine? Im selling it for $7,600, ive dropped the price down heaps because the drivers side window is not working (cabling is caught) and also I am getting a work car and at the momment im better off with one car financially.

I have a new RB20DET engine in mine and its pretty good, good enough to beat a VS stock. I reckon if you added a intercooler and tweaked with the boost it'll be a killer engine (for a budget mod). The car is pretty stock so its up to you if you want to make it a high end performer, but I can say now its pretty quick! The stock turbo is excellent, boost smooth and sounds good when you drive (spool + exhaust + bov = nice) :ermm:

Exterior is pretty clean too. New tyres. Registered.

Let me know if your keen.

- If your ford fairmont auto gives you a "rush" then when you get an r32 gts-t you are in for a treat. I drive my parents 3.5lt v6 magna (150kw) and it is resonably responsive but the power from my car leaves it for dead.

- My 32 gts-t when completely stock (except for a very shit and cheap cat back which I am sure was not helping performance at all - its long gone now) did 0-100km/h in 6.57 seconds with a G-tech metre. Show me a VS commodore v6 that close to that.... they are shit slow, so are the supercharged variants and even the 5.0litre V8 would be on par with a 32 but quite possibly slower (especially auto)

- An r32 gts-t weighs 1320kg..... a VS commodore is over 1500kg.... your mates sound well informed!!

- A cat back exhaust does shit all other than change the sound of your car. An exhaust is only as good as its thinest piece. If you pump water through a series of pipes the water can only get through as fast as the thinest pipe will allow...same goes for exhast gas out the back of your car! The quicker you get used gases out of the engine the quicker you can bring in new air and petrol! That is why a turbo back 3" the whole way is required and will give a noticeable power increase as it did in my car.

- That "pshhhht" sound will always be there because the turbo has a blow off valve but in a dead stock car it is relatively quiet. Put a pod filter ($50 - $100) on and you will hear it much louder and with the exhaust its better again.

- This site has lots of info so the more you look around it and read various posts the more you will learn. If you are budgeting $10k for your r32 that is fine but it will not be perfect, i.e - paint might be f*ked, or engine has had it, etc etc so in my opinion such a car is not "clean", but as you go you can fix it up the way you want it and it will become better.

BEST OF LUCK

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
