im considering buying a stock R32 GTST and i was wondering as i know the cars history it hasnt been flogged alot what is the biggest power gain for the least ammount of money you can get from this car? it already has slight suspension work and GTR bodykit with rims so it look sweet but it is a little slow because the whole engine is standardwhat do you guys/girls suggest? i have about 5 grand to play with im thinking of big turbo and second hand intercooler can the stock internals handle a TD06 ? thats what i have in mind any other suggestions?

5 grand, hey? car's completely stock?

well the response you get will vary but here's what i think based on what i have done myself, and what i have read:

1. get a dyno run, check AFRs, check condition of engine $110

2. full service: oil, trans fluid, diff fluid, plugs $400?

3. cat-back exhaust: 3" mandrel bent. custom made. $600

4. front/dump pipe: off BATMBL for $250

5. high-flow 4" magic cat $500

6. bleed valve: wind boost to 12psi $50

7. FMIC: $400

8. FMIC piping: $300

9. dyno run again to check the AFRs and make sure its safe $110

10. turbo: HKS GT2530 and exhaust manifold $2000?

11. tune ECU $600

BUT you're 17 so i would factor in some life insurance if i were to do that...

alternatively you could spend about 1k and maybe do options 1-6 to the car and put the 4k left over towards a GTR when you're older...

doesn't a 2530 with a T3 flange bolt on to a 32gtst ? if so why would you need a new exhaust manifold ?

also are there limits to how far you can tune the stock ecu ?, if you can tune the stock one then why get a performance chip ? furthermore why get a powerfc ?

from what i have read it fits, but if you are going to upgrade a turbo why not spend a bit extra and do it properly (ie exhaust manifold too)?

most people get a power FC because it can be easily re-tuned, and/or the stock ecu on their car cannot be tuned

      Skyline Paparazzi

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It never really happened in Australia until more recently. They first started coming in in the 90s and most people wondered what these weird looking cars were, and that's about. There was a little bit of fanboi stupidity after F&F. But more recently, now that you seldom see a Skyline on the road (because they have either all been drifted into trees or stashed in sheds and never driven), I'm getting regular instances of massive thumbs up and smiles, a few guys wanting to take photos (and asking politely!). It's kind of good. Makes me think I've done the right thing by keeping the car as my daily across the 25 years I've had it. You still get dropkicks gesturing for you to do a burnout. Idiots.

      ATTESSA and pressure switches

      By MrStabby · Posted

      Ok so the other test that seems easy enough (with the right equipment) would be to check what pressure the pump produces when its on. If its in spec its probably safe to just replace the pressure switch, and if not it makes sense to replace the whole unit. Does that sound sensible? EDIT: Do you have a spare pressure switch you want to sell?

      Decided to remove the clutch booster as it’s more things that can go wrong and it frees up a lot of room and means less vacuum lines running around the engine bay  old one out and on the floor  new one ready to go back in  installed! I haven’t swapped the slave onto it yet, I will wait until the engine and box are in to see if I need to change the line or any thing

      Yeah exactly the switch unit just needs to be designed with those numbers (or thereabouts, obviously the high one is the more dangerous if you don't get it right). It would be worth contacting FPG, they are pretty responsive and might be able to add to their lineup with you M35 information, the have 80% sorted already from the GTR one. https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/

      Misfire/stalling issues

      Have you explored this possibility further? I've been quietly watching this story unfold, early on I thought seems like bad fuel.
