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.

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
