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?

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

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.

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

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
