Hi all to the community, I am new in the JDM scene and i am so exited!
i would like some advice from all and possibly what i can do, will try to add as much as detail in for everyone !

I have recently purchased a r32 gts4 skyline with a rb26 in it. so the previous owner had it for 6 years and always serviced ect it every 5000kms, the engine now has 180 xxx kms on it. back to the question, he had issues with the twins so he removed them and bought a single turbo garret gtw3884 and a manifold and wastegate to suit. he then lost interest and the car sat for 6 months. i have purchased the car like this and went to 2 tuning shops these are my options

Also i have made contact and the previous owner is happy to give me the previous twin turbos (gt2859r-9) - 20 xxx kms old 

1) tune shop 1- chuck n5s 2860s turbos, artec aftermarket manifold, hpi dump pipe + tune (parts 6k) + labour 4k (with tuning)

2) tune shop 2- bring the car in (with the twins again) and they will have a look at it because it might be the load limit and the turbos might be fine. they also said i might have to look into a rebuild as its at 180 000kms.

3) ????

also its got a old school apexi fc commander and i am planning to get a haltec ecu, walbro fuel pump and a few other bits
mods that i also know the car has is 880cc injectors, oem high flow.

thanks everyone for reading this! i hope all is having a lovely day / night

Hi and welcome Eddie.

The big question here is - what are you trying to achieve with the car? Street, drag, track, drift? Big power, usable power?

Keep the single + Sell twins to people who want "retro" stuff = Profit

Aren't -9s discontinued? Probably could get a solid 80-90% of what they went for when new if they have very little use on them.

How much can i expect to push with that and a better ecu if needed

Depends which G30 you buy. How much do you want? The largest is rated to 900 engine HP. You might be happier with something capable of only 660 HP (the smallest G30) and make anything up to that much.

You will want to ditch the injectors, even though they are "large enough", because highflows are AIDS, and there is no reason to cheap out and risk an engine these days. Good injectors are only ~$100 each these days.

is that true? how much can i sell em for they are less than 20 xxx kms old and are GT2859R-9 

@joshuaho96

@The Bogan

I see them discontinued in some sites but not others. Not sure what's up with that. As long as people are still selling new ones it'll depress the price of used ones.

true mate but with 660hp shouldnt the engine be forged to handle that power?

@GTSBoy

If tuned well it won't need to be forged at that power level. E85 makes that power pretty easy these days. 

Upgraded head studs and gasket would be good to do. Strong chances of you lifting the head otherwise.

You do not have to run "rated" power with any turbo. But otherwise, what has been said above by Muzz is also true.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
