hey i just bought a r32 skyline gts-4 and im just curious what are the best yet not too pricey mods i should do to it???

i was also curious what parts i can swap straight over from a gtr like brakes or ??? trying to save a bit of cash haha..

also i was wondering if i was to upgrade the turbo which would be the best turbo i could get for a good price?? dont mind second hand ones either??

Finish exhaust if u havent? i.e dump/front - $300+-

Then CAI (pod etc) - pretty cheap depending what brand or custom made

Electronic Boost controller or manual bleeder - from $50 to $800(e-01) etc

Piggy back ecu - either emanage or safc? chipped ecu even from $200 to $500, controls timing ignition and fuel maps for larger gains

They are the above 3 reasonable cheap mods which will get you largest gains then you step into another sorta stage:

Larger Turbo

FMIC

Injectors

Standalone ECU - motec autronic power fc

fuel pump, afm etc etc etc

Suspension work

list goes on...

Best thing is to use the search function mate...threads everywhere!

Best most popular turbo depending on how much u wanna spend...

Well u can either highflow...or just buy a HKS 2530 2535 2540 or similar, straight bolt on so u dont have to change wastegates etc...not sure on outputs but ur looking around the $1500 to $2000 for 2nd hand or high flowing

Once again their are tonnes of threads in Forced Induction Forums covering best turbos for every type of budget and power output required

isnt the gts-4 a non turbo all wheel drive ???

anyways what blade said is spot on if $$$'s are limited nice flowing exhaust (full exhaust), pod filter possibly try advancing the timing if you are careful it can reap some small rewards and yea depends on what you want to spend mods are only limited by your budget.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞

      I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
