Could never in my life own a Commodore, the R32 Gtst was the first car I ever bought and will be the last car I ever own.

I would not even notice giving up 1000rpm to lag as it starts pulling hard from about 2300 with the current standard turbo, and as you said, 4 grand to the limit is where the fun starts. I would rather the car have more than what I will be using just not to really stress any part of the chain of parts, so say if my final power figure is 300hp I want the parts capable of doing 350hp, just so everything isnt stressed or running at its limits.

I'm not chasing punch in the face power when I put my foot down but more of a user friendly power curve. I would love to go the Mines route of builds i.e not excessive power but the tune and the general setup and and parts used make for a very quick responsive ride.

so your saying youve never owned, or will own, anything but your r32??

have a bit of fun with your 32, but you need to experience (and i dont mean a quick drive) all that many other cars have to offer before you can decide if one is right for you.. i love my r32.. and im having fun building it.. but im glad i owned 2 V8 holdens to really appreciate how good skylines are.

Spent alot of time in many other cars, some faster some than handle better but I would still prefer my R32, Had a hold of a 430rwhp 2005 BS XR8 for 2 months but still loved the R32 more. Even though the Xr8 was much faster and a better ride.

But as far as owning cars goes...the R32 is it. I have a Yamaha R6 but thats just silly fast after the build.

Some people have lambos and Zondas as their 'dream' car. Mine is the R32 Skyline.

I'm in the same boat... I've had my 32 for 11 years now, and I can't see myself replacing it.

Thats how I feel man and I've only had my baby for 2 years, I dont see what I would want other than the 32, Timeless style, a impressive heritage behind them and you cant beat the sound of the RB's screaming onto boost.

11 years?!!? sheeesh i reckon you must have pretty much replaced everything in the car by now haha

respect

ive got a r32 rb20 with hks2530. Pushing 210kw atw @ 15psi

Full boost comes in around 3800rpm.

I also have an RB20 running a HKS2530, 210kw @16psi on a very tired engine. Just make sure you upgrade your fuel system and intercooler and you should get similar results.

Yeah the only things I can think of that are still original (from 1991) aside from the chassis, are the gearbox, boot, rear bar, fuel tank, doors, glass, carpet, dash, headlights and foglights.

Any chance of a bit of a write up on what you currently have done to your baby?

(like another import owner needs an excuse to give a detailed list of mods :down: )

I know you weren't talking to me but this might help.

Unopened RB20DET

HKS2530

GTR Injectors

Bosch 040 fuel pump

Z32 AFM

Cooling Pro Intercooler

210rwkw on 16psi, not run on shootout mode so not sure how it compares to other dynos.

Full boost around 3800-4000rpm depending on when foot goes flat to the floor.

Any chance of a bit of a write up on what you currently have done to your baby?

(like another import owner needs an excuse to give a detailed list of mods :down: )

- Rebuilt HKS2530 Series 2 turbo

- ARC SideMount Intercooler

- R32 GTR Fuel Pump

- r32 GTR Cleaned injectors with new seals

- GTR Resistor Ballast

- Batmbl (Bos Importing) Stainless steel split front/dump pipe

- xforce hiflow cat

- Apexi catback

- z32 AFM

- Splitfire Coilpacks

- Nistune Ecu tuned by Status Tuning (208.9kw atw @ 15psi with 11.5afr)

thanks man, is that the daily run tune or the result just for the dyno run?

Also love the Drift Teks in the siggy (at least I think they are drift teks), then again they could be Rota P45R's or something else I cant think of.

What the offset on them? They look very nice like that.

(Sorry for al the questions guys, just trying to get as much info on everything before I start laying down more cash)

they are neither. They are Uras NS-01, drifteks and rota's are some china spec quality. I like to think uras (being a jap company) put more effort in the quality haha

They are 8inch +30 on front and 9inch +30 on rear

Its my daily run tune, quite safe as its low boost and 11.5afr.

Ah another sick looking 5 spoke to put onto my list lol

ATM I'm looking at the ever popular R33 GTR rims, I dont want anything over 17 inch and as far as I know they fit in perfect without any clearance issues, Not sure of the exact offset of them, Ive read a heap of differnt numbers from +22 to +30

Thankts Kwyjibo, seems like a very good result from reading the RB20 Turbo thread. Hows the cooling pro FMIC treating you? and would you happen to know what the duty cycle of the GTR injectors were on that run.

Yeah I can't complain, its quite good to drive. The FMIC has been fine for my purposes, was easy to install as well. We had some knocking issues that we thought were due to heatsoak but have now eliminated that as a problem. I think injector duty hits around 70% at full load/high revs.

I should also note I have an HKS dump pipe and Power FC.

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
