So live in New York, after banging my head against a keyboard trying to get any info out of the US forums I found you guys and gals. Even as a lurker I found you guys to be incredibly helpful. Also you seen to be much more willing to push the limits more. 

Current car is a 1990 R32 GTR 128 Km 

mod list includes:

  • 94 RB26TT
  • 94 Trans
  • Stock turbos w/steel internals
  • HKS intercooler and  piping
  • HKS BOV
  • HKS intake
  • Aftermaket Cam pullys
  • Manuel Boost Controller
  • N1 Oil Pump
  • N1 Water Pump
  • Exedy single clutch
  • Nismo Downpipe
  • ISR stainless steel test pipe
  • Nismo Catback (I think its for a R33 it has the carbon fiber tip) 

Planned/considered mods:

  • Nistune(already on its way)
  • Make the damn Nismo exhaust loud
  • Cams
  • EBC?
  • Injectors
  • Coil pack
  • Turbos
  • R34 Trans
  • The Moon

Would love some advice on any of the above mods or any things you think i should do first, especially the EBC and coil packs. Currently looking to get 4-450 whp with the current set up with an overall goal for now is to get to somewhere in the range of 550-600 whp maybe 700 if I'm feeling frisky. Only real issue with the car so far is that it keep over boosting to the point that I can go 3/4 throttle without it spiking to 20 psi (feels amazing/scares the hell out of me).  Look forward to hearing what you guys have to say and can't wait to build this machine.

Gidday!

How about some pics of your car?

New or better coils should be high on the list as should some kind of electronic boost control.

Consider a single turbo conversion:

Cams can wait - a good tuner will get the best out of your current set up with the adjustable cam gears.

Six speed gearbox would be nice but probably new turbo set up a better use for your money. Then injectors to suit.

Happy spending - I mean modifying!

Coil packs will probably be the next upgrade along with an ignition harness. Car had issue just after I got where it developed a stutter at low RPM(under 4k) and at less than half throttle. After freaking out that it might be the timing we ended changing out the spark plugs first and discovering that the plug for cylinder two was shot and likely causing a misfire. Issue went away following the plug change but I have a nasty sneaking suspicion that it'll come back and that the real culprit is the coil packs. Other issues include a leak from where the intake manifold meets the throttle bodies due to shoddy  paper gaskets which probably didn't help matters. New gaskets are in route.

As for an EBC any suggestion on brand? I have a MAC EBC in my Spec.B and have had no issues with it. Also if one of you could kindly point me to an install write up that would be amazing. Give that to the best of my knowledge the R32 didnt come with a EBC Im not terrible certain how to wire it up.

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
