Hey Girls

I need your opinions

As most of your are aware I am now carless with some money saved and after 7 months of being skylineless (oh how it hurts) I am ready to step back into the wet warm slippery (ohhh god i need a girlfriend) depths of skyline heaven

So what are your recomendations

I have currently these options avail to me

Get another R33 (too many around)

Get myself a cheap R32 Gts4-Turbo (as i cannot afford the full zilla)

for about 12K

J-spec (not P) will be importing it when they become avail in august to import

does anyone have any experience on how a r32 handles compared to a r33? i know the interior is shit but all the pictures i see are usually bad quality

thanks guys your advice, is appreciated

P.s GTR zilla saw you the other day at maccas, sorry for stalking you

don't get a GTS4 R32, its a really bad car handling wise, its not as maneuverable as the GTSt and its not as powerful as the GTSt. It has better grip but without proper GTR style ATESSA it'll work against you. You'd be better off settling for a GTSt.

One of the guys from j-spec bought a R32 1989 4 door for 1 Yen... hehe that's around 1.2c :D importing it here turned out to be prettycostly compared to that tho ;p

I'd also be of the opinion that without serious work, the GTS4 will be underpowered compared to a stockish gts-t.

find an r32 s-t with rb25det transplant.....or worse.....

If I was looking to buy another nissan at around that price I'd be thinking something mega cool.... while the 89 rules still exist. Leopard/cima/laurel/iron mask/ceffy.

Mate for 15G's dont waste your time on a r32 or a r33.....

If I was you I would look at getting a VL Calais Turbo with a RB26 Trasplant - theres a few going around. They look awesome, have the luxo interior and the power of a rb26.......

Can be had for 10-15g's....

    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
