iv drivn a new SS ute.. they are boring and was slower than my old 250rwhp R32 however it felt like the SS was restricted by technology, just felt underpowered

You're going by feeling here...which is not the best judge of how quick a car is...the 32 might "feel" quicker as the rush of torque comes whereas a V8 might feel more linear...and hence feel not as quick...but it can be deceiving....

that is true, the SS felt exactly the same accross the board, I guess like up a hill it had more effortless power but it just didnt feel like it gained speed all that fast and wasnt a fun car, hey im a boost fan :blink: . but in comparison the XR6 turbo ute I drove felt like shit to drive, was heavy and handled pretty average against the SS, the power was less but felt like iy put you in your seat more than the SS.

I dont really go by quarter mile times, track times to be mean more as it shows how well the car is ballanced. I know of a AE82 Corolla with a 4agze in it which nails a few corvettes and is very competative with the new v8s but as well all know power to weight is the factor. weighs like 900kg an has 150hp to the floor

oh cmon HR31's are nice cars, I class HR's real skylines but not ADM ones.. just like 86 sprinter aint a real trueno/levin and comodores definatly arnt chevs.. i laugh so hard at chev badges on holdens

Edited by BANGN
Yeah good point, those 2 door r31's are nice and you can really see the r32 bloodline in it.

The chev badges on holdens are just repressed homosexuality.

I've never understood why they do this, a mate at work has a chev badge on his Adventra and i call him exactly that. :)

Does this mean VL owners should put a Nissan badge on, or maybe i should put a Buick one on my VN ??? :)

^^^ people are stupid, simply answer i guess.

why do people strap bombs to their chests and blow up innocent people, why do people have sex with dead animals, why do pakistanis open fire in mumbai killing people, why is r31nismoid such a wanker. All these questions dont have answers which make sense to the majority of people with half a brain.

Oh man! Hahaha.

Is it true that older R32s weight 60kg less than the newer ones?

Side impact protection bars weigh 60kg? Because thats the only difference, unless this is a trick from nissan how they say things are slower / heavier than what they really are?

Year May 1989 to 1991

Weight 1280kg

November 1992 to 1993:

Weight 1340kg

yeh but dont they have aluminium blocks? id rather a rb as its pretty bloody hard to crack a cast iron block

seriously.. the whole alloy block v iron block is useless in this topic.

LS1 engines seem to weork really well with the TT kits.

making over 450rwkw with waves of torque that you could NEVER see from an RB of any kind.

I was saying that if the LS1 was fitted to an R32.

even in NA form with the usual NA upgrades of cams, extractors tuning etc, these motors spin up over 300rwkw.

1290kg 89 model R32 with RB20 making what 200rwkw with usual mods?

or

1240kg 89 model R32 with LS1 making over 300rwkw.

so more power, more torque, less weight and better distributed weight.

and you would prefer to keep the RB20 because it has an iron block?

lol..

depends how you get off the line, my mates line has 220rwkw and a r8 couldn't reel us in.. things get off the line damn quick though, it'd chew the gtst off the line, wouldnt be able to catch one b4 speed limiter.. in the gtr i don't catch 5 litres before around 100 and 6's can usually get up to 80 before i hit 80 if i take off with only like 2k revs up.. need to dump it to get it moving which sucks.. especially when ur trying to change lanes and the person your trying to get in front of has their foot flat while i'm lagging my way to 4k

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
