Hey there, just joined the forum and also just got me a 91 r32 GTR, I'm kinda familiar with the car, didn't see or talk of many growing up.

But I'll just get strait to the point, I've got this great car and i want to throw some money in it. So far its stock I've got a basic understanding of modding a car but i figured because there's so many people doing it on here maybe you could point me in the right direction. Any help is appreciated thanks.

Consider yourself pointed in the direction of the rb26 dyno results thread stickied in this forum.

Or by pointed in the right direction do you mean have exactly what to do to your car spelled out to you based on not specifying a budget or goal?

Sorry if that comes across harsh,but seriously all the info is on this site,and your question can't be answered as theres not enough info.

No worries dude.

There is obviously heaps of advice to be heard, but without having a goal and budget in mind it's all a waste of time

I would start with a full change of all fluids,plugs, timing belt,tensioner,cam seals, etc to make sure you are starting with a solid base.

One you start modifying it you are opening up a bigger money pit!

Something tells me this is either a troll or someone who bought a car before doing any research AT ALL!!!!

You have a stock R32 GTR that you are wanting to smack 2JZ's with and run a 9.66....... do yourself a favour and sell it as i can see the next thread being 'i got done street racing' or 'my engine blew up, what do i do now?'

lol, i just re read it and read it properly, sorry dude :(

As has already been said, the first thing i always told people to do was a fluid change, water pump and all timing belt bits (belt, bearings, bolt etc.

Good oil is always going to help and i have ALWAYS used Motul 300V 20W60. Have used it in so many cars with minimal wear on even race engines.

A decent catch can will help prevent any blow by going back into the intake which helps in many ways

Last but not least pray to the car gods that the oil pump doesnt fail

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
