Hey guys,

I've just recently had a R32 GT skyline (RB20det). And I have been taking up drifting. Ive found that that stock turbo aint enough go. So I've been trying to look for a decent turbo with enough go. Im looking for a turbo bigger then the origanal one, but not too crazy. I'm looking at the price range of about $2500 tops. Not looking for a FULLY HETIC SUPER FAST turbo. Just something to nice and bit bigger then origanal. Would also like to know where to get it from. I live in QLD/Brisbane.

Cheers, Nick.

have you thought about other associated expenses?

fuel system, intercooler, exhaust, engine management?

much besides, here is a massive topic

all about turbo upgrades on rb20s. you can learn a lot about the power figures, and other mods you might require.

First of all Nick congrats!

Anyone can turn the wheel and stab the throttle. Doing controlled opposite lock 360's around a cone is harder than people think.

And you really seem to get the hang of it in the end.

:D And for god sake DO NOT go out and do it on the street, some people think just because they have done one skid pan day they think they are D1 drivers.

Keep it up!

Thanks man.

Yeah, I'm only 15, so i wont be doing it on the streets. Hense being on the track, its supposed to stop me from doing it on the streets. Which is what it will do. Thanks for the support.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
