Rb26 Basics

[BrandonBoston]

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.

I was just looking for a basis to start on, i'm not looking to run a 9.66 quater mile just get a little more out of it. ill give the dyno thread a read see if i can find any thing thank you for your help

[Ben C34]

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!

well basically i have a fully stock r32 and i want to smack the shit out of a 2JZ down the street, and ive got 5 grand to do it, what would you recomend?

[Ben C34]

keep 5g in bank for when engine goes bang

[Hadouken]

Just search man. Don't be lazy

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?'

[Hadouken]

He said he doesn't want to run 9.66 1/4.

[Sovereign337]

I'd definitely be changing all fluids and ascertaining your car's reliability before doing anything

[ido09s]

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

Full service, upgrade the pads, get an oil cooler and take it to track days. Don't worry about the Toyota engine down the street.

Once you start tracking your car, you'll know where to spend your money.

Rebuilds, mostly.
