stock boost is about 9 psi (0.7 Bar) if my memory serves me right

but be warned if you intend on boosting it up on stock turbos DO NOT go any higher than 14psi (1.0 Bar)

and grats the the buy i own a R32 GTR as well and i love my car

Have fun ( I DO )

Cheers RellikZepher,

I have a boost guage that measures KG/CM2 and am registering 0.5. Seems low.

The standard guage is only hitting the mark between 0 and 7. Feels a little soft.

Any further info would be great.

Go the R32's

I recently bought an R32 GTR too, and sussed this all out.

1bar = 1.02 kg/cm^2

so for the accuracy of these gauges, they are the same thing.

standard boost on R32 GTR is 0.7bar = 10.2psi = 7 on the standard gauge

I have heard talk on here of the standard gauge being unreliable though. it might be best to fit an aftermarket gauge, or go to a good workshop and road test the car with a good quality gauge temporarily attached.

i thought the standard gauge is in mm/hg? not kg/cm2.

yes, the standard gauge is not much use. best off to use an aftermarket gauge to check it out.

Vacuum is measured in mm/Hg. Boost measured in kpa/psi/bar/what have you.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
