What mod's first for R32

I need some advice . I have a 32 that I love almost like a pet. I've heard that 32's go the fastest. But my car is very slow off the mark. There is a big gain in power as boost kicks in.

So what do I need to do to have similar initial power to an R33. And where do you start. I thought of getting a big 31/2 inch exhaust the other day (for stuff to do) but then wasn't sure wether that is now or later. At the moment the car is stock. I know a electronic boost control (and intercooler ) gives better boost, but what about before boost kicks in?

With the exhaust, will I find that too drony? I want to be able to hear my exhaust when I drive. Don't want to get a three inch to be safe then be unhappy with it.

r32 gtst is the slowest gtst but r32 gtr is the fastest gtr

the first things to do are exhaust in air filter

with an exhaust get a 3"front/dump pipe, high flow cat and a good cat back exhaust

these are the first things most people do to cars

R32 GTSt is a great car but not the best.Also applys for the R32 GT-R>

for you id get a catback exhaust 3" or something just as good,FMIC,boost controller and smack it to 11psi.

its prob the best and cheapest power gain. check out www.modyourcar.com - maybe has a .au , they are the cheapest around i suppose for FMIC.

If you put on a 3" cat-back and POD, the boost will natural spike to about 12PSI (speaking from experience)... but because it's only a 2L engine it's gonna feel slow off boost any way man... (unfortunately)... Go a full 3" turbo-back exhaust with a nice muffler (not a cannon) and it will sound nice and won't drone....

I think you can get cams and gears to change the ratio's and make it feel a lil better down low and spool up a tiny bit quiker?... not sure though, just going off what i've heard there....

Your right boost might spike and also you are also right again , if you get some GTR cams in there it will go abit harder!

Hi, I have a r32 gts-t also that feels ok for my needs although I want to make it faster.

I have a 3" front pipe, 3" high flow cat, 3 1/2" cat back exaust, blitz front mount ic, bleed valve set to 13 psi, bosch 044 fuel pump, exedy single plate clutch, chipped and re-mapped standard ecu.

I have timed it wit a g-tec 0-100 and got 5.2 secs although I have never run it down a quarter. It has 158.8 rw kws at the moment.

In the future I want to upgrade the turbo to a hks 2535 and 550cc injectors and hopefully break into the 200 rw kw mark.

Hope that helps

:)

take it easy

to get down low response cams and cam gears would do the trick... most RB's are pretty laggy anyway so instead of taking off slow rev to 3grand and drop the clutch. works wonders :)

lol... does do wonders doesn't it.... I did that before i got the new tyres, was an AWESOME launch and the bloke behind me said i laid rubber all though 1st and second and recons it looked unreal....

I don't find the RB26 laggy... although, i don't think i've driven anything more powerfull... so maybe you have a good point there...

Thanks for confirming my statements too guys, I was worried i was wrong and'd get flamed.... lol

Well what I have done ($183.90 worth of mods... got cheap/free stuff but) the car already had an exaust, no dump pipe but, a bigger fuel pump, and a nice big filter. So, so far all that I have done, bleed valve set to about 12psi 13-14psi on a cold nite (going to be checked again soon with winter) bit of 3 1/2inch pipe for cold air. Oil catch can, and a mallpasi rising rate fuel reg. We first did the boost, that made a bit of a diff, but being summer at the time didnt notice it too much, then cold air, that made a nice difference. And then last nite the mallpasi, that really did the job, it feels really nice. And my car is heaver than an R32 GTST, and I still just walk on a number of them (far from all of them but :( ) Hope that helps.

I still have the stock cooler also.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By sinn3r · Posted

      perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
