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.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
