sr20 in r32 is better than rb20 in r32.. lighter, more torque, more power potential

300rwkw with stock internals too easy hahah

maybe if you believe the rubbish posted in NS.com.

I like my 32 with rb25. Im yet to come up against a 33 with similar development and power so can't comment on comparisons as far as acceleration, handling etc

As much as i pains me to say it, i'd suggest the r33 is a better base to start with, particularly looking at current prices. Get an s2, they at least look half reasonable....

lol @ roy hahah i never said anything about response.. i just said more torque which it does, and more power potential which it also does and it is much lighter

i never said anything about response :D

Have a sit in both the r32 and r33 and take for a drive....r33 is a newer car and is around the same money its hard to beat. I wouldnt buy a r33 though just cause i love my rb20 and my little r32.

oh and 4 bangers sound soo sh1t.

As mentioned...for the price you can pick up a R33 S2 for nowadays its hard to go past it...but saying that...the rb20 is still a very very decent engine...but as for the details...i'll just let troy fly the rb20 flag...

i dont see in any why u would pick a r32 over a r33 let alone a XR6T. unless it was purely to save fuel (which honestly would still not be worth the disappointment when u plant ur foot and go nowhere.

its faster

its stronger

more reliable

newer

better lookn (debatable, i love the gtrs but GTST bonnets shit me)

need i say more?

u also mentioned the r33s being more expensive to run. that might be true to some extent but i would feel sorry for u buddy if u bought a real bad shape 32 which needed all the brakes changed, half the engine rebuilt cuz its that old.

id defiently go with something newer and fresher. its not like the r33 is gonna cost u 20k more to run then 32....if u decided to make food rather then buy maccers once a week that would compensate for the difference in running costs for the 33......not even......

and lets not forget your jumping from a XR6T?!?!?!??!!? wats wrong with u? unless you absolutely love the r32 on how it works, do not downgrade so much.

ur going from 4.0L turbo t a 2.0L turbo. you will regret it man.....

XR6Ts can take down R34s easily...let alone a r32.... and yes with some slight suspension even on the track.

sure the 32 is light, but its not THAT light.....dont know why ppl are even mentioning how light it will be for a daily, like it will matter. and for when he does take it to the track, you not gonna be shaving seconds off.......its a daily......and a xr6 has more room, more comfy and will eat any non gtr skyline track or street.

basically wat im saying is....unless u have money issues, really really and i mean REALLY love the 32 or your mad.......dont get it......

XR6T>R34GTT>R33GTST>bike>walking>r32GTST

honestly.....the only downgrade from a XR6T id do is either for a GTR or a Supra.

Andru - if you read his posts properly and NOT jump to conclusions, you'll see WHY he is going from the xr6t to either the 32 or 33.

yep - the daily at the moment is the excel! so think of it as a BIG step up from that.

to be honest (and its purely personal taste) i do like the r32 shape. And the vast majority of driving it will see is in traffic. so the smaller capacity makes sense.

love the xr6 - its just wasted on the wife (hope she never sees this lol )

what kind of fuel usage can i expect from a 25 if i run very low boost daily - then bump it up on the weekends.

You dont have a clue. Next time you are at RE Customs have a close look at Matts R34 and the amoutn of mods it has and explain to me then why my internally std RB20 R32 is quicker around every track in Victoria! Goes for Rays S15 as well, my seemingly no good POS RB20 powered Skyline that is full weight, daily driver is quicker. So explain to me how an R32 with an RB20 is so bad. If it was such a performance handicap i would not be able to get near their times, right? So how is it i am several seconds quicker?

LOL, if you ever get your R34 out on the track keep an eye in your mirrors as i will be out to t-bone you. Proving that A) i was quick enough to catch you and B) that as a daily driver and fun car you dont have to worry about damaging an R32 as the cars and parts are relatively cheap. :D

Hahaha...that should put him in his place...again here i'm with Troy...we are not saying the rb20 is a better engine in a better car...we are just saying that done right it is far better than what people think...

Isn't the rb25 just a bored out rb20? Wouldn't that make the rb20 stronger?

i always thought that it was more like the rb26 was based on the rb20, where as the rb25 had more mechanical differences to both..

but i stand corrected!

having owned both rb20 and rb25, i still prefer the rb20 purely for it's character, and thrashability

while rb25 has plenty of torque and faster stock for stock, i'd prefer it as a daily drive/street car

old post i know, but it will tell you that rb20 isnt exactly as "rubbish" as most people would think

Edited by chiksluvit
A mate of mine had a kakimoto racing on his rb20 and it sounded unbelievable. Definately a better sounding engine than the rb25.

totally agree

sure a lot of other forum members who has actually driven/had an rb20det powered skyline will also agree on this one too

:P

its not a POS.... far from it

i read his 1st initila post...didnt mention anything but buying a 32-33 and using it mainly for a daily with a lil bit of track.

has a xr6t....

didnt read anything else.

what kind of fuel usage can i expect from a 25 if i run very low boost daily - then bump it up on the weekends.

if youve got a excel atm aswell...then thats fair enough.

and you like the r32 shape so like i said above, thats more then enough i guess to go thee 32 root.

on a typically average modded skyline you lookn at around 350-400kms per tank. depends on ur right foot mostly though =]

Totally, because a GTR or Supra are clearly a downgrade from a Falcon, right?

lol sorry......bad choice of words........wat i ment to say was if i ever wanted to get rid of the falcon for something else.....i would go GTR or supra.

roy is it?

thats quite surprising u can go around a track alot faster then Matts car, especially it being internally standard....quite curious do u mind directing me to some more in depth specs of your car? it cant be pushing more then 250rwkw......or is it?

but come on roy.....be honest here.....you really think the rb20 is any better then its successors?

you might be able to beat rays s15 or matts r34....but if i gave u a r33 or a r34.....im sure ull be even better.

maybe ur driving style is just uber compared to matt/ray. (speculation only)

no offence at all roy but no matter wat u say ill pick a rb25 anyday. uve impressed me as far as how far you can push yours.

but its proberly the only 1 out of a million that might be worthy of praise......

have u ever considered droppn a rb25 into your car at all?

old post i know, but it will tell you that rb20 isnt exactly as "rubbish" as most people would think

okai okai......maybe its not as "rubbish" as wat others or myself make it out to be. but its defiently not as good as the 25

hrm i'm just trying to say they're different, not rb20 is better than 25 or vice versa

i've owned both r32 and r33 gtst, and like them both for what they are

rb20/25, i think they're both good in their own way, i wouldnt say which one's better than the other

despite that they're both coded rb, the characters are quite different IMO, generally at the mid to high rpm range is where the rb20 fun starts while rb25 is very torquey throughout the revs

i'd say their running cost is simillar stock for stock, rb20 isn't that fuel effcient compared to rb25 unless you have aftermarket ecu and have it tuned properly.

each to their own, you'll have fun in either one of them, test drive them all, stock rb20/25, tuned rb20/25 and pick your preference.

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
