dudes,

i am getting an R32 GTR soon, with hopefully around 230 - 250rwkw. Now there are quite a few WRX STi's getting around my town (Mildura) and I wanted to know how I would go against one. Im fairly certain they are all pretty stock. Maybe an exhaust, BOV here and there, but nothing serious.

How would a GTR go against them?

mate with that kinda power at the wheels an STi would be lucky to sniff the fumes from ur exhaust let a lone pose any sort of problem lmao

most hi-po STi's are around the 300kw @ the fly mark and they are very rare... most of the drivers a re yuppies that just buy them for the name and dont spend much on em. (bit of a generalisation but has a fair bit of truth to it)

My mate has a stock STI.

I have an R32GTS-t with a pipe, K&N, BOV and 235 tyres with adjustable sports suspension, and I think my car makes about 10psi of boost. His car definitely has more power than mine - he gets out of corners quicker and we have about matched driving ability..... BUT, in a fang going up into the mountains, he only made a couple of hundred metres on me over several k's. His tyres are stock. My car seems to handle better - you just can't beat the 4 wheel steer in the twisties.

GTR? I think you'd see em off.

(And by the way, he has 70K on his car, is onto his second box and the synchros are not so hot on this one either - it will probably need work in the next year or so. They do tend to have box problems.)

Woooohoooo...

Good one Andrew, your GTR is on it's way - well done :mad:

If the STi's are anything like the WRX's, if they dump the clutch too many times they be leaving their clutch and gearbox behind them at the lights :bahaha: :bahaha:

I really can't see you having a problem.

You might just end up having one of the fastest cars in your town :uh-huh: :uh-huh:

J

inark: the STI's have 300kw? Or is that the pretty heavily modded ones?

I thought that I should be able to beat them, but I remember racing an MY00 in my GTS-T and he cained me by a fait bit.

Jay: hey mate! Yeah finally got my dream happening, I just cant wait until it comes! Im even having weird dreams about 4WD and so on. Like taking off and this magical thing happens and the 4WD shoots me forward....... weird........:mad:

ive been on a mountain run with an 02 STI. Very good poise through the corners, it can make a young rough driver can look very good but it seems to be a relatively slow car, especially in a highway roll-on situation.

nice car, but :shake: to STI.

Bahahah - you know that your a a true Skyline lover when your dreaming of them.

But seriously, you'll have yourself a weapon of a car Andrew. After reading that link above, the Australian delivered STi's only have 195kw at the flywheel (that is stock), and don't come on (serious) boost untill around 4,000rpm. So for them to do anything serious they have to dump the clutch.

And that link actually said that they don't know how Subaru come up with tha 0-100 time of ~5.5 sec cause they could only manage a low 6 sec. And a stock GTS-t does a mid 6 sec 0-100 !!!

Once you get the launch down pat I think your going to have some fun with the STi's :D :uh-huh: :uh-huh:

:burnout:

The ones in Japan have had the updated motor for a couple of years with more power. Its probably just that motor that they're finally brining to the local version, which missed the update for a couple of years. Least they look better again with the revised front.

Jay: yeah I still reckon most of the guys around here who have bought them, just want to look good, and to say "I have an STI". Seriously, all the ones ive seen, have been driven by the "fully shik" blokes who got their parents to buy it for them. Not saying all WRX drivers are like this, but the ones Ive seen.......:(

14 1/4 mile? HAHAHA nuthin! I would have been able to beat one in my old "T".

Im hoping for 11's.

Guest too quick

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
