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

Waz.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
