i also want to make at least 225rwkw car will be used for street only just for my fun so reliability must be kept also so far ive got the list to do as 3inch zorst, 13bt rotor injectors, fmic (gtr maybe) bosch pump, what turbo to use and what computor say gredy emanage do or have to got to apex pfc??

Hey mate - there is only one way you are going to be able to import your own R32 and that is through one of the brokers who haev already bought cars and they are 'in stock'. DOTARS have effictivly stopped the 15yr old rule.

I would suggest that you look locally at the R32's and the R33's that are available. Try www.carsales.com, I was looking there yesterday and there is 9 pages of cars :headspin: Follow these rules

1. get a manual, don't look for a cheap auto to convert ($$$)

2. Stick to your purchasing budget (most of the good manual R33's seemed to average about $17k+)

3. get an apexi PFC - they can be had for $1000 now!!!

4. get new injectors that suit your car, someone on the forums got reconditioned and hiflowed units fromthe states for ~$500. you might get new Sard units for $650 ~600cc

5. get a 3 or 3.5 inch exhaust from the turbo back (you can get these S/H from your friends on the forums). Note - most systems are from the cat back

6. get a decent cat (not a generic hi-flow), I use an Andretti magnaflow 3in (from the US).

7. get a HKS 2540, or GT-RS turbo (you might be lucky enough to find one S/H from here)

8. bosch 044 pump (again - seek the forums)

9. hybrid front mount intercooler (cheaper than the GTR unit) yawn - forums...

10. enjoy your easy 250rwkw on low boost....

If you are a smarty shopper, you may be able to pick up a modded example, but be VERY careful that it is modded right - get someone from a shop that knows skylines to check it out. The $150 - $200 you spend could save you a lot of time, worry and money.

if you need to know anything else, PM me as I rarely get in this section.

Cheers

mate...200rwkw is plenty on the streets....if it's for street use only I'd recommend a higher average power rather than a high power at one rpm point (I remember SydneyKid saying something like that). 225rwkw on a RB20 is laggy...

IF you're gonna do a conversion make sure you get some more cubes. RB25 or RB30...

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
