Hey guys, recently brought an R32 GTS-4 which has a few stage one mods and want to know where abouts to go from here.

Currently has:

R33 Turbo

3 inch turbo back exhaust

FMIC

Bosch 040 fuel pump

Running 10psi

Standard airbox

I was thinking of getting it nistuned next, however should i upgrade injectors or will the stock ones be ok?

Car is daily driven, must be a reliable tune/setup, hoping to get around 180-190rwkws. But more the better provided it's somewhat reliable :)

Cheers.

Your stock injectors will be fine for that power level.

Nistune would be the best thing to do next.

Seeing as you have the 4WD model a good clutch should be on the cards too.

Sorry forgot to mention, has exedy heavy duty clutch and aftermarket suspension.

should have had a tune before the turbo swap... so most certainly you need to sort that out.

why? before the turbo swap it was a stocker with an exhaust and a cooler.

nistune would make a nice upgrade. you might find youself maxxing the standard injectors but every car is different

We will see how we go. Yeah I brought the car with the mods already done, so hoping to get the most of whats already there for the time being.

Will go with the nistune and take it from there. Thanks.

All cars benefit from a good tune regardless of stock turbo or not.

Didnt see the part about him recently purchasing, either way ECU is next

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.

      I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
