Hey guys,

firstly,just new to this forum so i thought i'd say hi to all of you guys, secondly my dad has just purchased a 1988 HR31 GTSX, its got an R32 engine(RB20DET ECCS)

HKS GT2530 turbo, GTR front mount inetrcooler, custom inlet manifold, walbro fuel pump, davies craig thermo fans, kakimoto exhaust system and stacks more in the engine bay, on the outside its panther black and has some Works racing harts, anyway, ill try post some pics of it, oh and it made 240rwkw on 14psi on the dyno so it should run low 12's, by the way i'm 13 and very much into cars so i'd like to share my knowledge and learn some stuff also with you guys.

Sounds like he bought Matt Barne's old car. Awesome looking car.

Excuse me did you say you WERE 13?

IF so firstly why are you buying a car like this when its gonna be 3 years till you drive it?

Secondly who bought it you or your parents, and if your parents did which i'm guessing they would of what parent in their right mind would buy their kid a 240rwkw car as their first?

Danger is the first word that pops to mind.....

BUT on the brighter side welcome to SAU

oh and the car will be made to drift spec soon, so it won't be street legal, ill have to get some el cheapo car, better than nothing

Why oh WHY would you turn something as clean as that into a drifter??? :chop: OMFG!! Its CRUEL DAMMIT!! :confused: :confused: :chairshot

    • It could be in the tune but in both cases it couldn't be completely solved or eliminated by some of the best tuners in victoria so I'm DOUBTFUL that it's in the tune or ECU but stranger things have happened of course. I've pondered that theory too but is there any theories that thinner and smaller ports overall would cause a turbo to spike? I would've thought it would just restrict it in general if it was small enough to make a difference. I wouldn't expect it to make a different at what is essentially sub 300kw at 4000rpm anyway. I think the next step is going to have to be the 6psi spring to rule out the idea that the gate is cracking open far too wide initially. At least that is the cheapest (free) thing to check initially.
    • I'm thinking it is skinny NA Neo port sizing and cams. Somehow.
    • -5’s did it. 8474 did it. Not hot side related. ECU related? 🤨🤪
    • Above you mentioned you only need to sand primer if there's an issue with it but with fillers it says the surface needs to be sanded to X grit beforehand. Does that sorta contradict that point as the primer hasn't been sanded yet? At the same time if I sand the primer, there's a good chance I'll expose the bare metal and I'm just chasing my tail at that point. Or I'll just use a sand sponge instead of sandpaper, it seems to be far finer in terms of abrasiveness as opposed to sandpaper. From what I understand, filler is like primer and needs scratches from the sandpaper to help it adhere to the panel. I realised the way I'm doing things is actually a bit counter productive as there's a chance after I put filler I will need to put epoxy primer again as opposed to putting the filler first and potentially no primer if I don't go to bare metal. Will keep this in my mind for the rest of my repairs.
    • Not without making up a new screamer pipe from scatch I don't think based upon the angles of the current return. Backpressure shouldn't be an issue though as the straight gate isn't affected by backpressure in the same way that a poppet valve is, and on top of that the exhast system is 4" all the way through so there should be minimal pressure if any to begin with.
