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

Mark

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.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
