So I picked this up from a 62year old lady a few months ago. She brought it in from Japan in 1999, and it was her weekend car. It has just clicked over 200,000km, it was her pride and joy. I have had the paint corrected and ceramic coated over the whole car. I purchased some second hand Bilsteins and had them rebuilt by Bilstein in Sydney. I have purchased a AP Engineeing Power FC with the boost control kit and the FC datalogit module.

Planned mods are as follows..

JJR stainless 3” turbo back with HF cat

Hypertune High Flow G2 or G3 BB OP6

Blitz return flow front mount Intercooler

550cc injectors from GCG

Walbro fuel pump upgrade

Z32 AFM

Apexi power intake

Splitfire coil pack

Looking for anything above 250kws on 98.

Cheers Angelo

Don't put an OP6 based highflow on an RB20.  It will be laggy and you won't like it.  There are smarter options.  Even just the 21U based highflow would be smarter.  But right now, budget considerations notwithstanding, I wouldn't choose a highflow.  I'd put an EFR7163 on it.

Don't buy 550cc injectors, unless they are Bosch EV14 based.  If they are just old style injectors they will be shitty compared to even 1000cc EV14s.

You will need a clutch (because it will not live long).  You will need a diff (because it will single peg everywhere).  You will probably end up needing a gearbox.

Sorry it was the 21U that Tao mentioned, and not to go the OP6...

The EFR7163 would not drop straight in would it?

I am trying to make all of my mods reversible, so I can go back to stock if need be..

The GTS-T has LSD from factory.

The 550cc injectors are from DeatschWerk, I thought they were all OK??

That's a pretty cool story in regards to the previous owner history. At least you know that it'd been very well looked after as it looks in the photos. Pretty keen to see some interior and under the hood shots even though I'd assume it's all factory standard.

Try and stay away from the JJR range. Their R32 exhaust in particular had fitment issues and requires custom fab to sit correctly.

Thanks for the heads up on this!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
