180sx mate picked one up for 10k with the s15 motor in it putting out a fair bit of power has coilovers and its light and f**king goes alright. R32 gtst ;-) im biased tho Or if ya can sell your kids or wife lotus exige seen one when i was at the gym yesterday the guy said it was 70k i couldnt belive how low it was. 150kw in 800kg beats gtrs all day long

Any updates love of the thread mate. dunno weather to go: rb25, rb25/30, or stay with my rb20 and go similar route as you. Hows it go on the street on your old setup trust one? Thats my pick of the bunch

I like this thread gave me some good ideas what to do with my 32 gtst

Hey everyone just wanted to no what good driving roads we have in nsw. My personal favourite is going from maitland to gresford then to dungog and onto the bucketts way through to taree. Plenty of hills and twisties bit rough but still a good drive. Please share your experiences???

Id probly be better off buying a allready built motor but wheres the fun in that Atleast you can overlook your own build and do it how you want i really like how you went about yours outstanding work top job :-)

I like i have a spare RB30ET laying around was it under ten g to build? I dont really wanna spend to much more than that!

Yeah i wanna see if i have a stock one or aftermarket. My new rb25 series two turbo turned up today its physically bigger than the stock rb20 turbs so thats a good sign hopefully it will handle 14 psi

Yah if it aint broke dont replace it! Or maxed out haha

Yeah im gunna tackle it tho can only try. Ive got tools i hire a shipping container and its on my uncles property he owns every tool you can imagine ( earth moving & truck company ) so thats no drama. I agree i wouldnt tackle a engine swap until im more confident and experienced and might wait till the rb20 gives out anyway. The turbo should be here today or tommorow then i can take it to this shop in newy called pit crew and get my braided oil & water lines made up. I have a high mount manifold with a tial 38mm wastegate but i didnt no if id be worth putting the rb25 turbo on that or stock manifold? Id have to get longer oil lines made ? The dump is ok unless i wanna make a screamer! The exhaust is some custom made 3" mandrel bent with a high flow cat. But i liked the sound of the blitz nur spec on my last 32. The intercooler and hard pipeing kit has been taken off and am currently spraying non gloss black dont want to attract any unnecessary attention. I definitely wanna get it tuned asap and wanna get cold start sorted. Atm there just stock brakes painted blue :-P will look into something when i hit eastern creek up. The suspension consists of nismo adjustable shocks, matched to some sort of red springs dare say pedders, and kkr castor rods, wanna lock out hicas and chuck adjustable everything in it. My last 32 had kei office coilovers i really liked those. Also will chuck in my nismo 2 way at some stage.

Yeah i was thinking i didnt need one after reading martin donnons 15 not haves in performance imports issue 132, but this particular mate owns a 5 ltr vp commodore so i thought he of all people would no lol i tryed reciting what martin wrote but couldnt remember lol

Yeah i no another mate has a complete rb25det also so might grab that off him, it was with the microtech lt-12s

Aww ok thanks for that, i bought the car minus gt3540 but it came with the stock turbo not bolted on. The rb25 series two turbo will do for now just bought a rb25 wiring loom and am looking for a rb25det in the near future. But a friend has a rb30 turbo motor that he wants out of his yard for the lowley price of a carton so might look at rb30det also!

Alright thanks heaps ive just ordered one of those rb25 turbos anyway so the thread should help witb any differences. Also the car has been rebuilt and has a 3"exhaust, 3"dump, hi flow cat, front mount, earth kit, microtech lt-12s, soon to have series two rb25 turbo, brass button clutch, To make around 200rwkw would i need yellow jacket coils, injectors, fuel pump, ?? My mate reckons ill need a fuel pressure regulator? But what gets me is it previously made 238.3 rwkw with the gt 3540 "dont ask me why they had this turbo on a rb 20 lol" so maybe i wouldnt need any thing else to make 200 to 210 kw??

I had these on my last 32 was the biggest mistake i ever made the car would let go at any time ESPECIALLY in the wet tread was new and my mate drove the car in the wet ended up in a tree after we aqua planed i got out ok few stiches and scares but my mate is alot worse off has broken near every bone in his body and cant work for the rest of his life. Please i urge people to never buy these tyres!

Ok so i bought the car with the big garrett taken off and it had a aftermarket exhaust manifold and tial 38mm wastegate bolted on. Took that off and was going to put stock manifold back on with stock turbo but realized i didnt have any water or oil lines or gaskets or copper washers etc so ive ordered these but theres a few mani studs missing. after somone that can help replace mani studs and bolt turbo back on. Or a workshop etc that u guys have dealt with?

I really like this build mate please more updates

Hey just wanting to no how much you paid for your n1 boot spoiler and if it was hard to source? Reckon it looks the goods sets the car off

So you cant buy a direct fit one?

Yeah wasnt keen on separating thanks anyway mate.

How much for just the turbo?

As topic states after a std or highflowed r33 turbo, or a hks 2530 etc any good upgrade for r32 gtst rb20 have cash txt or ring 0432163488

I already have 6 boost manifold and external wastegate 38mm tial, where can i purchase said turbo for 800?

Picked my uncle up from the airport was in the 32 he says actually these motors are designed from the buick 3.8 v6 commo motor and i didnt even bother telling him that this is a straight 6 people like that you cant tell. even owned a vs berlina

This is a good subject. I have owned one sleeper was a suzuki sierra black bullbar jacked up on 31's with a sr20 in it out of a 200sx had the vvti etc friggin screamed only it was all over the road. A friend has a 1uz Cressida manual white flogged my 32 i was shocked the sound from it gives it away its pretty loud. He is selling it for 5 grand has coilovers, brides, 18's, 1uz mated to manual box etc would be a bargain!

I dont really like them. 2 doors ftw but in saying that i am looking to buy one for the missus "she doesnt no this yet" will be better than some rav 4 or whatever girls want.
