Hi Guys,

I have a r32 gts-t that has 158.8 rw kw's at the moment and Im happy although Ive got that urge for more power.

I was planning to buy a hks 2530 or 2535, some series 4-5 rx7 injectors, hks cams and few other lil bit for my current rb20.

A mate of mine lent me a hpi mag that has a r32 gts-t with a gtr engine transplant. The engine was basically stock with a huge cooler and re-mapped ecu and at 14psi he had 230 rw kw's. An rb25 gearbox would be needed too.

I think that the gtr engine option sounds mad, and having round 230 rw kw's is far from pushing that engine and the rb25 gearbox will hold up also.

What do you guys recomend?

Also if you know briefly what it will cost, please give me some idea.

Thanks

Mark

a RB26DETT will set you back about $6.5K for a good condition one.

add another $1.1K for the RB25 gearbox

plus labour if you don't plan to do it yourself.

I'd personally get some cams and injectors as they are some relatively "cheap" mods that have a big impact. (Make sure your fuel is up to scratch).

thanks for the advice guys, I have come to the conclussion that the rb26 will be a waste of $$$ for my needs. I will also have to change my cooler and exhaust to suit.

I could get a rb25 with gearbox and fit a hks 2540, injectors and power fc, without having to change my cooler and exhaust.

do you guys think a rb25 r32 is worth it?

i like the idea of the stronger gearbox too :(

take it easy

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
