hey there, was just thinking about putting a chip on my r32 GTS-T RB20DET, but dont really know too much about them, so justw anted to know if u have any personal experience with any particular ones, cost, benefits, disadvantages, fuel economy, anything useful to know.

found one on ebay seems reasonably but like i said have no idea what im looking for.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Nissan-Skyline-R32-GTS-t-RB20DET-Performance-Drift-Chip-/200673553677?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2eb9136d0d

Personally, my r32 gts-t is running around 12psi boost, has a hi-flow cat and cat back exhaust...not much mods, so will a chip make a difference at all? should i go for this easy mod?

Cheers.

Probably get about an extra 100-150 FTWkw, and if you add racing stripes looking at another 50kw add speed holes and looking at reduced drag.

So all up. Get the chip, paint stripes and punch holes in car. Untouchable yo!!!!! worship.gif

gee thanks for the useful info...as i said i dont know much about them so not necessary to be like that "yo"

Dude. It's a computer chip. On eBay. What could possibly go wrong?

didnt mean just the performance chips on ebay, wanted to know all the info about them, are they worth getting from well known brands, what are they? price differnces etc,

Are performance chips in general a good idea or a load of bull?

what u plan on doing in the future will impact on the choice u make,

if u just keep the car how it is then just get a nistune, will provide a decent level of tunning to some good results, clean up how the car drives

or if u plan on going further with bigger turbos, injectors n the like choices will go from the simple but reliable power fc costing usually round $1000+ tunning right thruogh to haltec, motec etc which will cost u a shit load more

but as said above if u simply went into the forced induction section and used the search function all the answers u could ever want will show up.

This type of question have been covered many times before, thats y people get the shits when it is continually asked

Look at it this way, if it cost $35 to increase the HP so easily, why didn't Nissan do it? Just getting your car tuned properly on a dyno after making any sort engine mod is going to cost several $100 or more.

Modding a car correctly is EXPENSIVE! If you find anything that you want, that doesn't make you think "hmmmmm........do I need to eat this month?", then it is probably a cheap piece of crap that will kill your car eventually. When it comes to modding your car, "you get what you pay for" is correct in about 99% of situations.

Ok cool, thanks for the info guys, yeah I don't plan to modify this car all too much, went thru all the major modyifing with another car n kinda over it, just want something nice to cruise around in that looks neat. So I'll look into the nistune option, again thanks.

ill sell the midas touch since i got it, and it will add 30-31.1 million hp :) no support mods needed matter a fact no engine needed either! :P

...stay away from that sorta crap...people spend $1000 to get 10kw, so just think about it......

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
