hay guy was looking at getting a forward facing plenuim on my 32 gts-t dose this mod make a big difference to performance?

and will i have to move my battery?

changing plugs will be so easy lol

Questions been asked a million times before. You will gain some top end power, but possibly lose a little bottom end torque. You will have to relocate your battery yes.

The standard intake manifold on the RB20DET can flow over 370kw so really its more looks than added performance but still worth it IMO.

Don't bother with it until your making over 200rwkw.

Depends what sort of forward facing plenum you go with, a GReddy (or copy) item will need the battery removed.

With my setup of standard GTR cooler/piping and my custom plenum, my battery didn't need to move but it's going to be a couple of tight bends to get the pipework to meet up with the Q45 t/b on the front.. will have a better idea once the engine is back in but probably going to have to weld a bend straight to the t/b.

so the engine has to come out? or dose this just make it easyer?

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
