r32 gtst - just bought one.

[yz125-99]

Hey guys,

i just bought a r32 gtst, my first car :)

I was just wondering what sorta mods should i get to improve handleing, and whats a good, decent size turbo to get ?

How much kw could i make on the gtst, before id have to get all stronger internals ?

P.S - this isnt my user account (using my mates)

If it's your first car I wouldn't put a bigger turbo on.

Turbz lag has an unfortunate habit of kicking in around a corner when people don't expect them... to anyone let alone first drivers.

I don't want to sound patronising. I've owned a few cars, even a v8 there but never a turbz so I wouldn't even trust myself with a fat turbz.

Personally I will be upgrading the brakes so I can do some track work to learn the car.

I'd also probably look at a whiteline kit for suspension.

One of the first things I'll be doing with my r32.

Oh. and also I'd make myself an account and possibly join the club

As for the other questions someone else will have to answer you I'm not too sure - I'd expect about 200-250kw?

I'd seriously wait for later though.

First cars and skylines = I'm scared.

People who can't control 'boost kicking in' shouldnt be driving fast around corners in the first place.

JIC or Blisten coilovers are good.. so if its too low and you have to raise it to clear a defect you can just do it yourslelf..

Congrats on a skylines for your 1st car..

My first was also a skyline.. R32 GTS4.. it was a great car!

no need to touch the actual calipers on a Type-M R32. They have awesome brakes from the factory. A whiteline kit and some decent pads for your brakes are a good start.

Get used to the power (you will safely if you are sensible) then go from there.

Personally I will be upgrading the brakes so I can do some track work to learn the car.
