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.

    • Actually, that's not entirely true. It's also the same motor in the 1st gen Nissan Cube but they're rare as hen's teeth.  
    • Yeah it is always worth testing and balancing actuators out of the box, just set the pressure regulator on a compressor very low (eg 5 psi) and increase it slowly to see when they both move.....unfortunately while you may be able to adjust the length of the actuator rod to minimise any difference, the actual pressure they move from is not adjustable so you need a well matched pair. And yes, the VCAM is probably contributing; the earlier in the rev range they come on boost and the slower the revs build (I think your demo was in 5th), the more you notice it.  Driving at WOT through 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc you will probably never hear it as any shuffling starts and is over super quickly
    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
