Hey all,

I've kinda got to the point now where i've got to decide whether to keep modding my 32 gts-t or consider it finished. I think the car's potential was always limited (due to it's age and my budget).

When i got it the car had:

Apexi pod filter

Custom mild steel cat-back with Xforce cannon.

Unknown aftermarket shocks (pink in colour.. were on the car when imported apparently)

GTR Wing

GTR front bumper (missing lower lip)

Now the car also has:

Custom box and cold air intake

Greddy FMIC

Turbotech boost controller (set to 15psi)

R33 GTR Fuel pump

RB25 turbo

JustJap split dump pipe

Xforce HiFlow Cat

Greddy PE2 Catback (replaced droning Xforce)

Locked HICAS

18" DTM Wheels with Federal 595's

GTR Front lip (painted black to match car)

Midnight express tinting

MOMO Race steering wheel

nismo shift knob

6 speaker mp3 stereo

I've also ground and bogged a small amount of rust, and removed the aftermarket radio antenna the previous owner cut into the car :blink:

I've had the car almost a year now and i'm pretty happy how it's developed. Question is, what (if anything) do i still need to do to it?

I'm considering strut braces and maybe some slotted rotors... but not sure it's needed. It might be time to just start saving for a new beast. What do you all think?

dont waste time with a 25, if you want save for an R34 Gtt, or a 32 GTR, depends on your budget.

But it sounds like your happy with the car as is, im sure youd be happy to further mod it, but if your not craving it might aswell stop and save for bigger and better :P

No point in building a 30 unless you are already up for a rebuild. They are however, a LOT of fun in a 32gtst.

If you like the car and plan on keeping it, give it a much needed power upgrade, dropping a 25 in there is the smartest move :thumbsup:

drop the boost down to 12-13 psi, 15 is just blowing hot air?

at least get a safc2 then u will have a decent power upgrade

after that its pretty much done for stage 1

next step is turbo upgrade along with supporting mods or engine swaps

can sell it and for the price of a engine swap u can pick up a r33 (best bang for buck cars imo)

stronger box, phatter engine, modern interior

32 GTR or 34 GT-T pending budget is also very nice!

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
