Hey....

I am looking at 2 cars at the moment......

Nissan Skyline R32 gts-t

OR

Subaru Liberty Rs Turbo

* I Have done a search but didnt find what im looking for *

Please feel free to answer my questions in dot points if needed....

What engines are available in the R32 gts-t? Which one is better? (more room for improvement)

What Kind of problems do i look out for when buying?

What Kinda of mods will be the best 'Bang for Your Buck'.... Are these mods basically the same as any other turbo car? Exhaust System, Pod, Boost Controller, Front Mount Intercooler etc etc....

What is a relative good price to pay for a r32?

Im interested in Handling as well as power....What kinda mods are also best 'Bang for your Buck'

Lastly Please feel free to add in any common knowledge, runs you have had against, or if you have owned a Rs Liberty Turbo

I Really do appreciate your time and help...

Kind Regards

Timmy

P.S. if this info has actually been covered before please insert the link into this thread.....

For 32s;

1; The RB20DET is the only engine option for a turbo 32 (non gtr), but this is offered in both two and four door guise, as well as two weel and four wheel drive. (GTSt and GTS4) 160kw and 263 Nm.

2. Some rust can be a problem with earlier 32s, in the boot and under the rear guards, also there is an extensive guide on here to purchasing a skyline (try a search)

3. Exhaust,

high flowed or aftermarket turbo (ceramic tubrine is quite an achile's heel)

FMIC (as SMIC can be restricting)

ECU, (Power FCs are popular, although the AP engineering ones for 32s, are more expensive, and harder to come by)

Boost controller

Fuel system; injectors, pump, fuel pressure rise regulator

Clutch, brake pads (possibly discs if circuit work is intended)

After that cams and internals are generally next on the list.

4. R32s, depending on which type you are after (GTSt, Type M, GTS4...) Can go for as little as $10K, but $12-15 would be reasonable, $15+ for something special or immaculate, although at this price, 33s in good nick are also options.

5. I have a set of Tein HAs. Almost every other car i have used since getting my 32 feels like a boat.

6. Love the shape, and they are great fun! Whatever you get, enjoy!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I myself AM TOTALLY UNPREPARED TO BELIEVE that the load is higher on the track than on the dyno. If it is not happening on the dyno, I cannot see it happening on the track. The difference you are seeing is because it is hot on the track, and I am pretty sure your tuner is not belting the crap out of it on teh dyno when it starts to get hot. The only way that being hot on the track can lead to real ping, that I can think of, is if you are getting more oil (from mist in the inlet tract, or going up past the oil control rings) reducing the effective octane rating of the fuel and causing ping that way. Yeah, nah. Look at this graph which I will helpfully show you zoomed back in. As an engineer, I look at the difference in viscocity at (in your case, 125°C) and say "they're all the same number". Even though those lines are not completely collapsed down onto each other, the oil grades you are talking about (40, 50 and 60) are teh top three lines (150, 220 and 320) and as far as I am concerned, there is not enough difference between them at that temperature to be meaningful. The viscosity of 60 at 125°C is teh same as 40 at 100°C. You should not operate it under high load at high temperature. That is purely because the only way they can achieve their emissions numbers is with thin-arse oil in it, so they have to tell you to put thin oil in it for the street. They know that no-one can drive the car & engine hard enough on the street to reach the operating regime that demands the actual correct oil that the engine needs on the track. And so they tell you to put that oil in for the track. Find a way to get more air into it, or, more likely, out of it. Or add a water spray for when it's hot. Or something.   As to the leak --- a small leak that cannot cause near catastrophic volume loss in a few seconds cannot cause a low pressure condition in the engine. If the leak is large enough to drop oil pressure, then you will only get one or two shots at it before the sump is drained.

      Help! Leak coming under transmission

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
