it would struggle to make power due to lower compression you would also need exhaust manifolds and non turbo ECU

are you already on your P's, and whats the rule going to say if you have said car registered in your name before the rule comes in

hey guys,

i was just wondering if it would be posible to take a turbo skyline (R32 or R33) and take the turbo off while on my ps because of the new p plate laws coming for south australia and put it back on after im off my ps ?? or would there be engine mods needed or wateva? Thanks.

ummm no.!

you will lose way to much power different compression ratios between turbo/non turbo models.

get a different car put the line in the shed until ur off ya P plates or just buy a non turbo car if ur that worried.

regards

Allan.M

if the law does come in, then selling a non turbo skyline down the track will be easier than selling one now without those laws :D

hahah Allan

non turbo R34 are very cheap from japan

EDIt

if your choice is only 32 or 33 get the 33 with a RB25de as the 20 would have even less guts again

R33 = RB25

R32 = RB20

GTS = DE

GTSt = DET

R33 GTS4 = RB25DE

You missed a few out

R32 - RB25DE Seen a few of these getting around

And the very rare R32 - RB26DE but I doubt you'd ever find one.

a little more info :D

didnt know you could get a CA18 in a R32, and looks like all the 25's were double cams only a couple 20 single cams

The R32 range:

GXi - The bare basic model R32 1.8 litre, rwd, non-turbo, no extras.

GTE - 2 litre family model, four door, non turbo, single overhead cam.

GTS - 2 ltr, in-line 6. DOHC, EFI, 2 & 4 drs, RWD, standard sports model.

GTS25 - 2.5ltr, in-line 6. DOHC, EFI, 2 & 4 drs, RWD, non-turbo, sports model.

GTSt - 2 ltr, in-line 6 cyl, DOHC, EFI, 2 & 4 drs, RWD, turbo charged sports car.

GTS4 - 2 ltr, in-line 6 cyl, DOHC, EFI, 2 & 4 drs, 4WD, turbo - some feature GTR specs (eg ATTESSA 4WD)

GTR - 2.6ltr, in-line 6 cyl DOHC, EFI, 2 dr, twin turbo, 4WS, 4WD, ABS, HICAS...

Basic R32 Specification Chart:

Model Engine Type Description Power Output CC Drive Doors GXi CA18i 1.8litre 4cyl 91PS/5200rpm 1809 RWD 4 door

GTE RB20E 2ltr, 6 cyl, single cam 97kw@5600rpm 172Nm@4400rpm 1998 RWD 4 door

GTS RB20DE 2ltr, 6 cyl, double overhead cam 116kw@6400rpm 184Nm@5200rpm 1998 RWD 2 & 4 dr

GTS25 RB25DE 2.5ltr, 6 cyl, DOHC 142kw@6400rpm 231Nm@4800rpm 2498 RWD 2 & 4 dr

GTSt RB20DET 2ltr, 6cyl, dohc, turbo 160kw@6400rpm 263Nm@3200rpm 1998 RWD 2 & 4 dr

GTS4 RB20DET 2ltr, 6cyl, dohc, turbo 160kw@6400rpm 263Nm@3200rpm 1998 4WD 2 & 4 dr

GTR RB26DETT 2.6ltr, 6cyl, twin turbo 208kw@6800rpm 368Nm@4400rpm 2568 4WD 2 dr

Decifering the Engine name:

RB - series of engine 20 / 25 / 26 - capacity (20~1998cc / 25~2497cc / 26~2597cc) D - Double Overhead Cam (or DOHC) E - EFI (Electronic fuel injection) T /TT - Turbo / twin turbo

Engine Type:

The R32 generally featured the RB series of engine in all instances except for in the case of the R32 GXi which feature the CA18i engine. This was a four cylinder, 1.8 litre normally aspirated engine.

Special models:

During and after general production, a handful of special models were released in small numbers. These rare cars generally featured a small variation from the normal, and seemed to be more like test models than anything. The Autech R32 is an example of this. The Autech R32 was tuned by Autech and was basically a four door R32 GTR, without the turbos, as it housed an RB26DE in its engine bay and an automatic gearbox. You can deduce from the name that the engine was a 2.6 litre DOHC EFI in-line six normally aspirated variant. Very good for pulling trailers since they have tonnes of torque.

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
