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......

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
