omg the extractors are teh bomb... they make a sweet noise when I give it gas, having driven a stock GTS and mine, it makes a big difference. The engine revs a lot smoother too.

I even got the jap manual, the bill for purchase and fitting by a performance shop in japan, and a sticker for it, which was never attached.

I also got an HKS airbox... but I haven't tried any alternative CAI methods so I can't compare it to anything.

I'm gonna do some light mods to the car, what do you guys recommend to get the most out of the N/A?

hi all... im relatively new to the Skyline world, having only just bought one ~6months ago, but like everyone else, am looking for more power... I only have an R32 GTS Type-S (RB20DE), so am not expecting miracles, but being beaten by any commodore is just embarrasing...

Having read all of the previous posts on Exhausts/extractors/CAIs etc, im wondering whether its worth the effort of staying NA. All the same, When i bought the car, she already had a 3" high flow system, of some japanese origin, but i think the headers are only factory (not a manifold though). The air box on the 32 is fed from under the headlight assembly anyway, so would a CAI or Pod filter help at all? You guys sound like you'd know more about this than me, so any help will be great.. Cheers, Phil

well in that case, can you tell me what badges yours has? coz some ...unmentionable... has gone to all the trouble of RIPPING ALL MINE OFF !!! bastard... anyways, it was before i got it, and i have never seen another one (i live in a small town) close enough to work out what im meant to have. All i can see is the outlines on the front arches where the GT badges were.

3" is way to big for a NA 2.0 litre, I've got a 2 1/2" exhaust system on my 2.5 litre and I wouldn't go any bigger. If you're going to keep the car NA, get a hold of some extractors (there's a group buy set up at the moment, to get Cobe's for around the $300 mark), and if you're going to slap on a pod filter, make sure you sheild it so it doesn't suck in the hot air from around the engine.

At the end of the day though, you're pretty limited with what you can get out of the 2.0 litre engine.

i would have to agree that 3" is probably a *Little* bit of overkill for 2 litres... but it's not like its a 2-stroke requiring a tuned back-pressure, is it? i dunno... all the same, i am also aware that theres not much to do with that small capacity, but at my age, there is no way i can insure a forced aspro car of ANY sort, (but lets face it, after owning a Skyline, what else would you have?) so im trying to make the best of what i've got.

The air intake is another matter, because im SURE you can't get too much air. And i fitted a pair of driving lights the other week, and found that behind the side intake of the GTR front bar (again, a waste on a GTS) is a gaping cavity with nothing in it. Would it be worth trying to tap the pod filter into this area, as it would then be drawing fully from the open air in front, which would obviously be the coldest. Anyone else tried this before? suggestions?

hey guys i got the same extractors as the one in the group buy

i found em here in sydney paid a little bit more than the group buy price though

just comparing the old headers to the new ones you could tell that the new ones would perform better but i wasnt expecting much difference from them but boy was i surprised

i have a 2.5 inch cat back exhaust, stock cat and the coby extractors i also have a cold air induction

once the extractors were installed i noticed straight away that the car sounded meaner and more open it also reved smoother and quicker i regaind alot of the low down power i lost when i put the exhaust on

so just lettting u guys know im very happy with em

hopefully u guys will be too

anf

yea i was so close to changing it to a 2.25" but i thought ill wait till the extractors go on then i would decide wat to do but it seems ok now

i tightened the accelerator cable too cause there was a sh*tload of slack

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
