How can it because i want to get a r32 without a turbo because of the insurance and all, but what mods can i get to improve the horsepower, acceleration ect without a turbo.

This is gonna be my first car cos i am 17 now and 18 next year, but i just want some tips on how to improve the peformance of a r32 gts-t skyline without a turbo.

just changing the exhaust system to a larger unit.. opening up the air inlet with a pod or better panel filter should give you a good start.. then you can consider ecu remap or S-AFC.. then extractors. after that mb different cams, and porting the head a little (if you want to go that far into it). Could change the diff if its a manual to auto diff to give u a bit more acceleration off the line.

you have to remember though that the more mods (even if n/a) the more insurance will slug you, especially if you are a p-plater. maybe just keeping it stock for a while might be easiest (even if its just for a year)

Save your money - dont throw your cash away on trying to extract power out of the RB20DE or RB25DE.

Add some simple breathing mods, exhaust, headers & pod filter etc, but leave it at that

With the money you would spend on making the gts faster you could have bought a gtst.

I have thought about getting rid of the rb30e and dropping an rb25de into an r31 but it really isnt worth it. I think the most it would it making at the wheels with some mods would be 110rwkw. I doubt it would have the same torque output even with the same mods.

The rb20de would be even worse, torque is going to be pretty sad. When you have an N/A engine displacement makes quite a difference and is an advantage.

The rb30 with the same mods would have a similar output (90 - 100rwkw) but it would have more torque.

Its been posted up on the forums a few times that the difference between N/A and turbo skylines isnt that much.

If you are serious about modding the rb20de go with what blitz said. Its simply not worth going any further apart from turbo charging it.

I think you'd get from 0-100km/h in around 8.2 - 9.0 secs.

I say, save you money up for a gtst. You will be thankful you did and the turbo makes a world of difference.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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
