Hello every,

Cool site here.

Ive read through lots of stuff here, older stuff and have some questions.

I am going to buy a R32 GTST or a GTR if I have the money.

 

If I get a R32 GTST and dont do the RB25 swap, with the stuff thats out today,{turbos, etc} is there any way to make the GTST with 400-450 hp and be responsive on the street so Civic Type R's and 370's arent blowing by me?

If I get a R32 GTR, is there any way to make a good 500-600 hp and have decent torque for the street?

Yes, there we go 

 

Thank you for the inputs.

I will check these out.

 

I need to buy the car first but want to research now.  

 

RB 20's are liked in the states.   But I keep reading that RB25's are better for the 32.

Just need to upgrade hot side for GTR and ECU upgrade. Simple. Won’t get 500 but will be fun enough.

Not too hard I guess.  Do you mean to upgrade the exhaust?  As long as it will perform well.

If your in 'merica, drop a crate LS in the R32 GTST.

Or at least a RB25.

Personally, the only money I would spend on a RB20 would be to service it.

If you want fast, the RB20 is a poor starting point.

Unless you want original, then, just service it and don't race anything faster than a Toyota Yaris.

If you don't use a crate LS, send one to me, thanks....

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
