i just bought my 1st ever skyline and its a R32 GTR, ive always wanted one since i was on the L's and after all this wait ive got one!! and im in love!!

its a stocker so there isnt enuff power in her YET but i'll change that soon

will be pulling the twin turbo's of and bolting on a single turbo conversion, cams, cam gears, fuel system support, and ECU blah blah blah u guys know the drill

i would like to retain the standard bottom end for as long as i can because im on a budget right now, ill just force as much air down its mouth as i can and see how much power she puts out b4 she pops

any ways thats enuff talk

here a photo of her

i went from GTR to 180sx type x.. to me it was a speed downgrade but upgrade in most other departments..

yeah be a lil more active in the QLD section ull get along with noel and shane

but upgrade in most other departments..<----- explain????

i love my 180 more then the GTR because of the fact its got more work done to it and ive had it for longer

Nice gun metal.

Why don't you keep the twin turbo set up instead?

which turbo u going? :thumbsup:

a single turbo conversion is a cheaper option for me to make power its also neater

right now im aiming for response so im gonna go with the GT3540

Yeh congrats on the GTR brother, very neat :D

I'm keen on a 32 GTR, bought a 33 gts-t but for a little more could've had one of those :thumbsup:

I reckon that'll be my next car, unless i can afford a 33 GTR!

Have fun with it, and don't forget to embarrass the V8s :spank:

gtr===>180 type x

cheaper parts, cheaper insurance, cheaper/better economy, lighter, driftable, hatch boot is good too.. and its newer than my old gtr.. which was a silver genuine 100kms grade4 with more n1 parts than a n1 :thumbsup: twas fully optioned.. nismo dash bilsteins n1 turbos bracing 80mm nismo afms. kakimoto ecu nismo turbo back

but apart from that the gtr was far better to drive prefer the responsive steering and the grip.. esspecially when it rained a while back..

would like to thank every one for there reply's feels very welcoming

*sniff sniff*.. I smell rb26 failure and expensive rebuild comming up.. :(

you obviously know sr20's and silvia's,... you might want to do a bit of research on oil control on these things.

all the best.

car looks great.

i know all about the oil problems that the RB26 engine has

my tuner has made his own billet oil pumps which he has used in a 450kw R32 GTR so i know it works but for now i'm gonna keep the bottom end standard untill i start having problems

like i said B4 im gonna force as much air down its mouth and make as much power as i can untill she pops i would like it to hold together for as long as she can because i realli dont wanna be doing internal work just yet (maybe not ever)

if u want response stay with twin turbo's get a pair of n1's

single turbo =more lag

more lag = less response

yeah i know i can keep it more responsive with a twin turbo setup but its going to cost me more

ii was thinking about going GT2530's but then i went for a drive in my mates R33 GTR and it was a full worked motor with twin 2530's and i wasnt very happy with how it came on boost so i was thinking about twin GT2510's because i'll be happy with 300kw but huge response then after working out all the cost a single GT3540 will be a cheaper option out of it, i know it might not be as good but it works out cheaper

Awesome buy there! I cant wait till ive got one in my driveway, maybe at the end of the year. Wow what a garage the 180 & GTR... ahhhh what to drive today.....he he ive seen you on N.S lovin the 180sx!! Have fun..
the 180 is pretty krazy i'll try and keeep the GTR abit more "normal" Edited by STR8E180

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
