i am selling the wrx and most likely will be thinking of getting a skyline. i like to do some research in the prior months to getting a new car though.

what i want basically.

good paint preferred with a kit.

racing looks, no bling.

low km or replaced engine.

i would like a gtr but from what ive read the insurance for under 25's is around $2500 plus????

so i have no problems with a modified gtst.

i prefer the 32's but would consider a 33 if it was perfect.

will spend around 17k but most likely no more.

inform me, can i get a good 32 with a rb26 imnplanted for a decent price of under 15k?

if not what kind of power could i expect out of the gtst 32 engine?

is importing the way to go? especially if you have a family friend owning a import company?

i only ask because i recently drove a friends 34 4 door with a power fc on 12psi i believe and to be honest i was not impressed with the power, in relation to my wrx ( fairly stock, injectors, tbexhaust, custom airbox, 16psi).

thanks in advance! feel free to point me to some cars for sale on various forums etc aslo...

the rb20det in the 32gts-t really lacks torque. and off the line compared to ur wrx its gona feel hell slow.

a 32 with an rb25 is the way to go, but if u havnt done it urself u never know if the previous owner has done a shitty instal job. plus more things will prolly go wrong with the car since its got a complety diff engine in it! so more $$$ fixin lil' shit things

a lightly modified 32gts-t is fun to drive and will still feel fast...but like i said, compared to a wrx off the line...ur gona be disapointed. ive found my 32 to be quiker top end than a wrx tho...

if i was u, id buy a lightly modded 32 for 11-12k...then add some good power mods to put u in ur seat...:blush:

Put simply, NO. That is not a common conversion and if someone has done it there would have been a lot of cash spent, they are expensive engines if in good condition!

An r32 gts-t can still be modded to get good power. 160rwkw is relatively easy with ecu, exhaust and some boost.

If thats not enough then the next step up without spending a whole lot would be bolting on an r33 turbo (get it highflowed) boost it and get a front mount to go with it, and maybe GTR injectors or aftermarket ones, and an aftermarket fuel pump. You would have some decent performance out of that

for a lightly modded skyline what would i expect for 12k. tbe, bigger turbo? maybe piggyback ecu? i have been looking around on the net but from reading wrx forums for the past 2 years i have learnt alot and could tell you anything but i need to get in the know with the nissans.

what in terms of overall performance and handling would be the better of the two. like i said i like the look of 32's better but in the end i want a total driving package not just looks.

thanks!

i pikd up my 32 for $12.700 a year ago...it had a remapped ecu, bleed valve, boost guage, nismo exhaust from cat bak and apexi suspension. imaculate paint and interior, 108,000ks...type M kit and GTR front bar.

EDIT: as for suspension...i have adjustable apexi shoks and springs, adjustable caster rods and a gtr strut brace, and it has great handling. chuk in a set of Tein coilovers/sturt brace and ull be all good :blush:

      Alcon TA6 Calipers on R33 GTST - Flexing

      By Sydneykid · Posted

      Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary

      Replica built of first Gibson R32 chassis

      If you have the original log book and it didn't have a chassis number quoted, then no money required.  I have "rechassied" a number of race cars, no problem as long as you have the original log book.   Cheers Gary

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Well the good news is that it won't run any worse with an atmo bov than it does with no bov, I've owned a few Nissans over the years (r32, s15 and now r33), the stalling issue caused by a bov or no bov while still having an afm is easy enough to live with, most people get used to driving them and just feathering the throttle when you come to a stop to avoid it stalling. Changing to a proper ecu with a map sensor is ideal but in the short term I'd just slap in the bov if you really want the whoosh sound. I looked into the pass through type maf like the R35 one above but decided against it as the amount of oil and crap flowing through the hot side would mean you'd have to clean it often to keep it working.
