Hi everybody! :action-smiley-069: I am not here in the forums very often, and I have a hard time finding the answer to my question, but might I ask it here?

What engine parts are specific and designated ONLY to an RHD R32?

I am currently listing parts for an R32 GT-R project, and I just want to know if the parts I listed are compatible with an LHD R32.

Some of you might be shocked to why I have to say "LHD"; but to clear things up, my country doesn't allow RHD cars to be driven on public roads. Philippines is strict with LHD cars only.

Please help me, I am so deep in the list already, I even chose parts off plenty other options. And I want to know if it's still worth listing down parts. The parts I'm asking about include anything in the engine; maybe manifolds, downpipes, exhausts, radiators, anything!

Please help me take note of them. I am looking over parts from JDM aftermarket manufacturers including TOMEI, HKS, and many others.

I hope for meaty replies :yes: Thanks in advance! :rolleyes:

P.S I attached the list I've ever so worked hard on, hopefully you can tell me which parts are only for RHD :rofl2:

They never build a LHD r32 so there won't be any parts "made to fit LHD", but most Japanese parts should still fit.

your main concern is going to be the exhaust dump pipe and front pipe will probably have to custom made

Sooo the only concerns are the exhaust dump pipe and front pipe in the engine bay? Nothing else? :woot: Nothing to do with the HICAS getting disabled or anything? Nothing else to replace or alter?

As has been posted, there was no LHD R32 so everything will have to be sourced or invented.

A massive undertaking which could look great or not……...

To give you some idea, here's a 32.

And a 33.

There's also a UK company specialising in 33 conversions, end product is excellent.

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
