Hey all

I'm putting together a r32 gtst at thr moment. I considered putting a 25 in it but everyone does that.

So at this stage I'm thinking I'll stick to the humble 20. Unless I can think of something to do that's a bit more funky I think ill just rebuild it.

I've seen this kit

https://www.spoolimports.com/engine-rebuild-kits/spool/nissan-rb20det-rebuild-kit-with-spool-h-beam-conrods-and-cp-forged-pistons?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIp62mmpfO_AIViZlmAh20PQrcEAQYAyABEgJLwPD_BwE

Is that decent value? 

Happy to hear any other ideas

pending budget and what you intend to do with it have you considered a rb52/30, vq35/37 or LS conversion?
The VQ or LS may cost a little bit more initially to setup and get going but long term and parts availability good option. Parts everywhere and most repco has it on the shelf.

Ive done a LS conversion in my 33 for track.

To be honest i want to go abit more standard and make it a nice weekend car. Put it on historic rego etc.

I was considering the 2.4 ltr Rb20 with the 26 crank. But for the money isnt really worth the effort

Seeing stock/lightly modified skylines these days is cool. 

The old reliable and proven rb25 hiflow, injectors and tune combo 220-230kw is good for the Sunday cruise car.

Especially if you already have a quick LS powered boat.

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
