Get yourself a front mount kit from just jap they seem to work fine, a good dump pipe if you dont allready have one, chuck the rubbish k&n filter in the bin keep the airbox just put in a BMC or APEXI panel filter a good boost controller preferably Electronic and closed loop (AVCR or HKS EVC) sell the interceptor and get full management of some form (cough power fc cough) the ecu is the key to so many doors, if i had my time again i would buy that first before anything else if your a newbie spend some time and research before you buy you will also learn heaps along the way.:) hope im a help of some form

thanks ,that should point me in the right direction,got a blitz dual sbc,should be ok?

You can end up spending alot more than you would buying a real GTR as something worth keeping in mind.

If you want something fairly mild then;

* Exhaust is a good place to start (turbo back).

* Aftermarket ecu, sort timing and fuel out prefferably or S-AFC.

* Clutch and Flywheel upgrade will be needed once power is up , a lightweight flywheel while your at it.

* You will need fuel pump and injectors once you step into an upgraded turbo

Lots of things you can do really but, depends on what you would like the car to be.

If you want lots of power in the long term, just save for a built RB26 it more or less drops straight in with very few bits to get. The GTS4 gearbox is the same strength wise too, it's not the poxy RB20 box out of gtst's.

For the record the K&N panel filters are fine and re-usable, sorry 13thracer I've used exactly the same panel filter on a high powered GTR (among other cars) with more power than the lowly RB20 is ever going to produce. People only have issues with them when they don't read instructions and over oil them.

Have a good read of some of the links here:

Specifically this one:

Goes over the basic items for you.

Cheers

thanks for the great info.happy about the gearbox,definate bonus.and that i didnt waste my 90 bucks on the k&n :rofl: i`m thinking the power fc seems like the way to go.exhaust is 3inch from turbo back,has hks voltage stabiliser,...ps.will the apexi pfc work with my blitz dual solinoid b/c ?

as you may or may not know the gts4 is a bit heavy..i think as heavy as a gtr but it has the power of a gtst. Therefore making it a bit lighter would help to

here is a thread about making a r32 gts4 lighter i started a while ago

R32 GTS4 Lighter

hope it helps :P

weight reduction is good :D:):D:) dont quote me but from memory the oldschool drag racers used to say loosing 400 pounds is equal to adding 100 HP and the best thing about weight reduction less impact on your driveline and most of it is free.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
