A nice list of upgrades it's got there.

The main thing is, what is the condition of the engine, turbo, mechanics and electrics..?

Get it checked out and test drive it. By driving the car you will be able to tell if there is any uncertainties of the car.

Turbo Timers are there so you can let your car sit and idle, saving you from waiting a few minutes.

+ you can set the alarm/lock up and the car will only switch off when the count down is finished.

Cool-down period required to prevent premature turbo wear and failure.

After a period of driving when a turbocharger has been working hard, it is important to let the engine run at idle speed for a period of time, allowing the compressor assembly to cool from the lower gas temperatures in both the exhaust and intake tracts.

At the same time the lubricating oil from the engine is able to circulate properly so the turbine won't burn the lubricating oil that would otherwise be trapped within the charger with the turbine rotating at high speed.

thanks mate,

yeh i thought it drove really well on the test drive, its booked into jap motor sport in adelaide so the mechanic can do a full check and compression test. fingers crossed, could have it by the weekend.

what sort of power would it make with these mods? and what mods should i be looking at next?

im thinking fuel pump and injectors. a new turbo would probably be out of my price range

Good! :wave:

Getting you mechanic to do a full inspection on the car will give you a peace of mind and let you know if it's good of not.

You do have some quality upgrades there, here is a quick run down of what they do...

Nismo GT-R Bodykit, the R32 GTR front bar has air vents to allow air flow to the FMIC and give the car decent look.

East-Bear Bonnet, has a vent to allow the heat out of the engine bay.

Koyo Radiator will keep your water temps at a lower / steadier temp so the car does not get too hot at the same time keep the lower temp more stable for longer spirited / track runs.

GReddy Spec LS Front Mount Intercooler for better air flow and cooling into the inlet plenum. You may experience a slight lag due to the front mount (on stock Boost) but if you are running higher boost, you won't notice it.

Trust Airinx Pod Filter for more air to go into the turbo, but can suck in hot air and you don't want that. Best shield off the pod or put the stock air box back on.

GReddy Oil Catch Can collects blow-by gasses that can create damaging carbon and oil sludge build-up in your intake including your intercooler. For Mid to Highly modified cars, if your car is stock, you won't need it.

Apexi "Pencil Type" Turbo Timer, as explained in my last post.

Swoosh Boost & Oil Temp Gauges - Dual Gauge Holder, aftermarket gauges are more accurate then the stock gauges, lets you keep track of your turbo boost pressures and oil temps.

RS-R* Piping from Dump to Cat

Trust MX Exhaust Cat Back

^^ You got a full/turbo back exhaust system to allow better exhaust flow and you will gain a bit of power there.

KYB Short Stroke Struts, great for handling and as they are Short Stroke, the car will sit lower = lower centre of gravity, better control you have over the car = the faster you can turn corners.

King Springs, these will be harder then the stock ones and will add to the handling as mentioned above.

Endless Carbon Brake Pads, I think you have these pads in,

"The Endless CC-A compound is a Ceramic Carbon Brake Pad that provides superb pedal feel.

Designed to exhibit none of the negative characteristics that ceramic carbon compounds are known to have, such as low friction at lower temperatures, the CC-A compound has excellent cold bite while producing minimal amounts of dust and noise.

The Endless CC-A pads do all this while still being friendly to rotors, perfect for a high performance street pad." - http://www.endlessusa.com/brakepad/cc-a/

Higher quality pads then standard.

A stock R32 GTS-T is about 158kW's at the fly wheel (I think), from memory you lose about 25% through out the drivetrain + every dyno will have a different reading.

To be honest I can't say how many kW's the car will have, but at the moment the exhaust will be the one giving most of the power upgrade. (15-20 Kw's) maybe...

If the car is running stock boost, then the air pod and FMIC will give it a few more kW's but nothing huge.

I can easily say this car has probably seen a few track days / drift events.

So your doing the right thing by getting it checked out and get your mechanic to check the turbo as well.

Cool!

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
