Modification Help?

[ye.808]

Hi all,

I just bought a 1993 Nissan Skyline R32 Coupe (GTS4 RB20DET) and i was wondering what modifications to do on it as I am still a P plater?

The car is basically Lowered, body kit, new heavy duty clutch and rims. Besides that, its all stock.

Any suggestions on what modifications I can do as for now?

A nice turbo back 3" exhaust, find a quite one too, so it's not too loud on your ears.

How much do the 3" Turbo back exhausts cost? Any links to some good brands or exhausts?

Have a read through the forums, lots of info for modifying your Skyline here.

Good to see a new R32 GTS-4 owner on here, it's an awesome car to drive

As mentioned above, a turbo back exhaust would be a good place to start. Then you can look at a pod filter and go from there... All depends on how much money you have, there's no shortage of parts out there

wow didn't know GTS4's came with a turbo from factory

if that's the case definitely a turbo back exhaust, most systems are cat back only so you would need to source a high flow catalytic convertor and bell mouth dump pipe

then a pod filter with a heat shield or high flow panel filter if you want to keep the stock airbox

also some aftermarket management like a a/f ratio controller or programmable replacement ecu with boost controller

Did anyone notice he is a P-Plater....depending on where he is, I dare say it'd be N/A...

Just do the usual, exhaust, pod, high flow cat

R32's do. Don't know if they made a n/a 32 GTS-4'?

fair enough, I just assumed all GTS4s and the GT4 came n/a, you learn something everyday

[chin0o]

Lol yeah you do too. I just had a read on wiki and I didn't realise 33's and 34's were n/a!

There ya go lol

32 gts4 are 100% turbo. I'm guessing Nissan didn't release the 33gts4 and 34gt4 as a turbo because it would be too close the the performance of the GTR

Brand new, anywhere $600 - $1000+

2nd hand, $500 +

Approx.

Try for sale section...

[ye.808]

Ahh sh*t, that sucks lol!

I only got a $200 budget

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

^^ LOL!

$200 will probably get you a muffler.

Just save up and look for a decent exhaust and look through the For Sale threads on SAU.

You never know what you will find.

Thanks for the help guys.

Well, I got a pod filter installed on the car now (DRIFT brand) is that any good?

Also, can anyone recommend me a good BOV for an RB20DET which is easily bolted on the crossover pipe (replacing the stock BOV).

A good one which makes a single 'pshhh' sound.

Thanks for the help.

DR/FT...

Ok, lets just say, SAU prefer other brands then anything from Autobarn

But if it does the job for you then all good.

To be honest, if you are running stock boost, your stock BOV will be fine.

All those aftermarket BOVs are wank unless you are running a very high level of boost and your stock BOV can't handle the pressure anymore.

+ Now you have an air pod, the pod itself will make some kinda 'Choo' noise after your turbo has spooled and you release the throttle.

Thanks heaps!

Now, time to find a nice 3" turbo back exhaust.

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

^^ +1 and good luck with it.

Pod filter first. to get the wOooSh sound.. Then a turbo-back exhaust.. not catback' unless u want less power. try justjap.com or gktech.com.au

get stainless steel so down the track you wont need to replace it. then get a front mount intercooler & then finally get a boost controller.. should get you close to 200rwkws.

2nd hand turboback exhaust 500$

intercooler $500

boost controller turbotech - $30

Boost gauge $50

pod filter $100
