Yes, I have searched - but didn't find exactly all the stuff I wanted to know. So:

1) What is (more or less) max boost for standard RB20 Turbo ?

2) Will R33 FMIC piping work with RB20 or is the pipework different orientation ?

3) Is the front/dump pipe of an R32 same as an R33 ?

4) Is the R32 4door exhaust (cat back) the same length and orientation as a 2 door version ?

5) Is the GTS-4 suspension (front and rear) same as a GTS-t or GTR or neither ?

6) Can you disable front wheel drive ina GTS-4 same as GTR (by pulling a fuse , which one)

7) Will adjustable exhaust cam gear give same benefits as RB25DET at 4 deg retard ?

8) Is the exhaust cam gear same as RB25DET ?

9) Is the AFM in RB20DET same as RB25DET - and will Z32 AFM help with increased resolution ?

10) Is it worthwhile getting RB20 turbo hiflowed with new (steel) wheels ? At what cost ? Or is it simply better/less cost to get a 2nd hand HKS 2430

11) Is the RB20DET and RB25DET exhaust manifold the same ?

12) Is mounting a FMIC on the R32 similar to the R33 ? Do you need to shave the front bar ?

13) What can max power the GTS-4 gearbox handle ?

14) Does GTS-4 come with LSD at the rear ?

15) Is the rear diff same as a GTR (ie R200) ie if I found an R200 locker would it bolt up ?

16) Who does R32 ECU re-chips / how much ? Is it better to just get an SAFC / Fuel Controller ? I know this doesn't adjust timing - but was thinking the cam gear could take care of this for moderate power. (AP Eng PFC too expensive for an R32 - bad cost/benefit for the value of the car)

17) With GTS-4 do the same tyre width on all 4 wheels apply - like GTR ?

18) What is safe power (rwkw) for standard internals ?

19) What sort of brakes are on the front of a GTS-4 , I think 2 pot - Will the R33 4 pots bolt on ? What size discs ?

Sorry for all the questions , some might be rudimentary I guess....

Thanks in advance Roy - for your help on these (as I know you will know all the answers - he he)

1) What is (more or less) max boost for standard RB20 Turbo ? - 14psi

2) Will R33 FMIC piping work with RB20 or is the pipework different orientation ? - drivers side return pipe is different

4) Is the R32 4door exhaust (cat back) the same length and orientation as a 2 door version ?- 4 door is slightly longer

5) Is the GTS-4 suspension (front and rear) same as a GTS-t or GTR or neither ?-gtr i believe

8) Is the exhaust cam gear same as RB25DET ?-yes, inlet adj. cam gears are good as there is no vvt i think....?

9) Is the AFM in RB20DET same as RB25DET - and will Z32 AFM help with increased resolution ?-cubes is using a series 1 r33 i believe, and a z32 can be used as well...

10) Is it worthwhile getting RB20 turbo hiflowed with new (steel) wheels ? At what cost ? Or is it simply better/less cost to get a 2nd hand HKS 2430-previous owner of my car had this done, and it cost roughly $1100. It just made ~218rwkw @ 1.1bar recently on a tune

11) Is the RB20DET and RB25DET exhaust manifold the same ?- yes

12) Is mounting a FMIC on the R32 similar to the R33 ? Do you need to shave the front bar ? - yes

16) Who does R32 ECU re-chips / how much ?- Dr Drift...on these forums

I hope i got most of those right :cheers:

3) Pretty certain they are the same.

5) Same as GT-R

6) Yes

13) I'm running 180 Awkw through the stock gearbox

14) Viscous LSD, I believe

17) YES

19) 4-spotters front, 2-spots rear, probably the same as R33. A set of slotted rotors doesn't hurt.

    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
    • Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.
