I think I might have to take the plunge and try eBay. But bit risky on quality I suspect. 👍🏻😂

Very happy today after I installed the hks race coil packs … makes a huge different with throttle response for me.

Yeah thanks … the car is also extremely sharp and precise with its handling. Handles better than my friends with only 15k on the motor. just ordered all the parts for the hks gtr3 ss turbo setup and all the other neccessary parts. It’s a long list that’s for sure. Will aim for something like this 👍🏻💪 my friends r32 at the shop.

Hi all, has anyone had any experience with the quality of the online or eBay carbon fiber covers that go above the front grill of the r32? I have attached a photo below. or what is the best place to get a high quality one in matte carbon fiber? thanks

Thanks for the feedback and recommendations

Talking more shifting at high rpm’s or letting off the gas at high rpm’s. Right now I feel the car is lacking a lot on exhaust sound also with just the silent hks exhaust and down pipes. Need to open up the Godzilla so to speak I feel. But then again my other car is a str piped f430 which sounds like a f1 car now. Exhaust sound somewhere in between now and the f430 would be great - decimal wise.

He’s an actual tuner… he did it 15 years ago or so though. Said he wouldn’t run catless again without a tune. honestly I want to run no cat to shot flames out the exhaust on a tune and also get higher boost level quicker with less restriction.

I think the issue was my tuner friend removed his cat without a tune and over boosted leading to lean mixture and blowing up his r34 in the process.

Yes I think you’re right … just adjust the tuning accordingly… looks great though. But costs. There are no other intake manifolds out there? Also while we are on fueling - I heard u shouldn’t run a str pipe no cat on these cars otherwise they spoil too quickly and can blow the motor running lean. Thoughts on this? Thanks

I think it improves throttle response quite alot with the power band and also helps even flow out to cylinder 6 which can be an issue with the stock manifold. But it’s 3k aud plus so not sure it’s cost effective. are there any other cheaper options? Or better options?

Yes thinking of getting the v cam for sure then. Just on the ropes with the nismo intake manifold if I want to spend on that. Even though obviously the runners are more even and bell housing inside are more efficient. Not a cheap part though.

Also I did wax protect the whole bottom of my car… and paint plus ceramic some parts to get it looking like that .. 👍🏻💪

Yeah there are ways to getting around it in hk. I just can’t drive stock cars and like a bit of uniqueness to my cars … yeah I think I might head down the gt2860 - 9 turbos rather than the hks ones. But might still run hks v cam also unless it’s a waste of money there? Guessing I can get good numbers from the -9s? But yeah this one is probably one of the most mint ones in hk… my friend also has a mint nismo r32. I will keep and store all the stock parts then I can always convert back to stock again if needed. It’s so hard to find a stock r32 without rust in hk … I looked at 3-4 before I fell on a mint vspec 2 … granted I spent double the price but I don’t have any issues at all with this one. Didn’t change any stock parts as they all were in perfect running order other than a tiny transmission gasket leak.

Yeah when I said mint I meant it … I bought her off a collector for a let’s say not cheap value 😂

Thanks … I’m actually in Hong Kong … but went to college in the states 😂👍🏻

Hi all, Completely new to the rb26 motor platform. so far engine wise I have done the basics - hks intake, dp and cat back, hks intercooler, nismo oil pump. next parts to come are hks turbos, fuel pumps, injectors, standalone, valve springs, hks v cam, nismo intake manifold, arp studs, cat removed and dual clutch. So my question is can I run only a max of around 525hp to be safe on this setup? According to the garage I am working with don’t want to go higher with a 30 year old motor. or do I need to rebuild the internals and bottom end? What is everyone running for a safe 525-550hp? got a mint vspec 2 r32 and don’t want to blow it up … added a photo of the underneath of the car before I started modding. It’s pretty clean. thanks
