Im buying a R32 GTR, Engine rebuilt w/oversize pistons, Garrett T28 turbos. HKS adjustable coilovers. Sparco 17X10 rims w/245 tyres. N1 Exhaust. HKS filters. Cross drilled rotors, CDplayer, GReddy Boost Gauge. NISMO 260km Dash. TurboTimer. Includes compliance & RWC.

How will the engine work with those pistons and is it a good upgrade?, How powerfull will my car be in rwkw & 1/4,mile ?

If your really that keen to know, it might change the sound of the engine when its up on high rev's to compared to a stock GTR.

We have an RB25 with forged o/size pistons and aftermarket rods that sounds like the R34 GTR from 2 fast 2 furious. doesnt have that smooth purr of the stock RB25 anymore, this is with standard cams aswel.

;)

Jun

it sounds like the pistons were not machined corectly causing piston slap. my 33gtr has JUN oversized pistons and it sounds completely stock!

What could be giving the different sound ?

Different manifolds

pistons (Arias)

Rods ?

Using stock crank!

Yeh sounds identical to the GTR from 2 Fast 2 Furious. - Listen to that and the to a stock GTST.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Pistons slap isn't good! You'll have to get your block re-sleved, to fit the pistons properly or get a new bottom end. But thats new ring lands, head gasket, seals etc. Pain in the assss!!

Just hope its not that and only somthing minor ;)

:)

Im ready to buy the car, im happy because its all rebuilt. How will my car go on 1/4 mile with all those parts that i listed on my 1st post. My friend says he will kill my car on 400m in his GTS-T on top speed with his mods(600hp turb0,...). and my cousins 180sx killed him on start, because his skyline is too laggy, his 180sx did best 13.9 on calder with cooler, full exhast system and 12psi. so they mixed my brain with their car talk. :bonk: . or they are jealous????

A R32 GTR with T28 turbo's can do 11's.. well as long as everything else is there to support them. Clutch and a FPR. Really need more fuel too. One of our previous GTR's runs constant high 11's with a near stock motor on T28's.

No way a GTS-T or 180sx would come close without a lot of mods..

what size pistons ? are they nissan ? you can get nissan +.5 mm oversize or +1mm but there are aftermarket pistons bigger still , it depends on what they used and how good the work was done .

if you have 87 mm pistons ( +1 mm oversize ) like i have in my car and they are the same compression as stock then you will find the compression will be a little higher than stock ( as long as they used a stock headgasket ) .

i have 87 mm arias pistons in mine that increases the engine capacity from 2568 cc to 2627 cc .

the extra 59 cc + slightly higher compression gives you a bit more power that is noticeable at low rpm ( no boost ) .

i dont know what turbos you have , what boost , computer , tune and a lot of other things must be considered .

i have the garrett n1 turbos in mine , power f/c , 1.2 bar boost ( ebc) and stock cooler , stock injectors ( on the limit ) , stock airbox , stock airflow meters ( on the limit ) .

the car has run 11.7 @ 121 mph 1.8 60 ft but the track was very slippery so i couldnt get a good 60 ft , have a look at my time slip on the registery .

i have an r33 so its a little heavier as well , that may give you an indication of what this car could run if the work is and tune are done well .

i have seen cars with more mods than mine like 2530's , 550 injectors , z32 airflow meters , camgears and he could only do 12.1 @111 mph with 1.7 60 ft .

as i said before it does come down to tune as well , as far as driver , track ... yea but the trap speed should indicate what the car is capable .

with trap speed of 121 mph , i should have a lower et than 11.7 but traction was the poblem as the slow 60 ft indicates .

yes wrxhoon, but we can't compare every car and it's mods as it comes down to so much. Tune/Driver etc.

I have seen a car with 2530's running low 10's on the stock bottom end.. just like I have seen cars with N1 turbo's and a PowerFC running mid 13's. :D

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
