Rez's R32 GTS-t Type M... presentable version!


Recommended Posts

Dave, stock GTS-t Type M power is 215ps (160kw), so the pod and muffler prolly add 5kw or so... it's anyones guess. My top end isn't too shabby though, so I might get you there.

So, on paper, that's at least 20PS up on me...I might pull away for the first 50m's or so, the extra 500 cc's helping me out, but once your turbo spools up you'll be sailing past me :D

of course, if I run without the tailpipe baffle in, my top end power is up...but the bottom end torque all but disappears...still, I could win by deafening everyone! :D

:D

How's about a tow rope between the Evo and the GT-V...would that be cheating? :D :D ;)

Nah...I'll be OK. There's no straight roads around here, all mountains passes and twisties, so while you guys have the quicker cars, I've got the home-field advantage :D :D :D

Hey mate! Love those mirrors. Always wanted some but I am a sucker for my folding power mirrors! :rant:

And those wheels are hardcore. Anyone who knows Regamasters will know that these are perhaps the lightest wheels on the market out there and it's just a bonus that they happen to look cool too.

Justin, if I still had the factory airbox like you do, I would have converted it to enclose the pod.

The one I have now is a WRC airbox, but look through the books I passed to you...I'm sure you should be able to find some airboxes in there.

Are we competing...I maybe leading but your car is still lighter, more so when your carbon bonnet goes on...yikes!

I don't actually think you can convert the factor air box to enclose the pod easily...or can you?

Perhaps you could accomodate a smaller pod, but I was suggesting returning it back to a panel filter with a CAI. I would if I could but I went with a WRC straight induction box. Pods IMO don't make that much of a difference.

Alot of the Super Taikyu Evos are running with the factory airbox and making 410ps/50kgm from the factory setup (std internals, turbo, cams, manifold, surge tank, I/C, etc) with only an aftermarket computer, larger fuelpump, front pipe and exhaust. Course they are super light...completely stripped interior.

Thanks... errr... Justin! :)

When we were at Autobacs, Evo_Lee gave my Regamasters the "one arm test" and gave them the thumbs up.... they *must* be light...;)

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
