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

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
