i have a 1993 r32 gts with a rb20det conversion. i bought it this way so i dunno whats been done. power seems sweet up until 5000rpm, where it seems to hit some flat spots in power from there onwards.

hey i just though i would go back a little bit and add something in, in relation to drilling the oil return line into the block a way of getting around this would be to buy an oil cooler and run the o

Well I have all the bits together for mine finally, Have a 25DE fitted to my R31. I have just picked up a good High flowed T3/4 with lines and manifold. Still chasing a 33 DET ecu to get it all running, also just bought a just jap same sided cooler. So far, its cost me $650, so should be 1k total and running. Let you all know how it goes

Does any one know if the ecu wiring plugs for a N/A skyline and a turbo skyline are the same, im just helping out a mate with a N/a skyline with all standard turbo bits (fuel pump, injectors etc) as i have a standard ecu for a r33 gtst s1.

Yeah ECU plugs for the DE and DET are the same

Lucky bugger!!! My 34 never had them, make sure you drill the return in your sump though, this won't have a blank on it.

So the R34 turbo I got off you was really a S1 R33 turbo with unknown km's? Looks like I got ripped!

Err no, you bought the turbo off my current R34 (the silver one) and it had damn low K's

My old R34 (the blue one which was a 25GT+t) had a series 1 R33 turbo with close to 170,000kms on it. That is the turbo that is still on it.

This is my old car, it was stolen in June 2005. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...d=2677710

THIS IS MY BAD AND I APOLOGISE!

I HONESTLY WAS JUST ASKING THE QUESTION AS IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD COME ACROSS THIS THREAD AND AS I WAS NOT AWARE OF THERE BEING TWO CARS, IT WAS UNLCEAR TO ME ESPESIALLY DUE TO THERE BEING SO MUCH CONFUSION BETWEEN THE TURBOS.

DAN WAS VERY FRIENDLY AND HONEST AND I APPRECIATE HOW HE WENT ABOUT THE TRANSACTION. YOU MAY HOWEVER UNDERSTAND HOW I FELT WHEN READING THIS THREAD AS IT CONFUSED ME COMPLETELY.

ONCE AGAIN SORRY MATE AND ALSO FOR THE CAPS!

P.S. The turbo has been running well! I am about to drop an RB25DET into the 32 and will use it on that too espesially now that there is no confusion!

TODD OUT - Feeling like an idiot! :no:

mines all running now

im using RB25DE +T with RB20 everything.

I upgraded to RB25DET (370cc) injectors and its too rich to make any power.

Use a Apex SAFC to lean her off a little.

My conversion cost me just over $1100. Im chuffed.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
