yes a stock GTR is around 180 - 200kw on most dynos. a few kw more with exhaust etc.

i would go.

boost controller (run 1 bar boost)

apexi pods in a custom box

3 inch cat back exhaust

front pipes

dump pipes

Power FC

cam gears (both inlet and exhaust)

and you will get around 240-260rwkw if everything is working properly

i would also do your brakes (new pads, rotors, fluid) and add an oil cooler.

Just got a 90 model GTR?

The first mod you should be doing is a major service.

True, at least all fluids, tyres (if you imported it) and a check over and clean.

After that, drive it around for about 2 months to see if you can 'feel' anything wrong with it before modding.

Also, I got mine dynoed before I did anything to see what the power and boost curves looked like and see if they held steady or spiked/dropped off.

This goes without saying (but ill say it anyway), change all the fluids - you dont know when they were last changed......if at all.....

i just got a R32 GTR as well, leaving it stock for the moment just to see if there is anything wrong. Don't wanna spend all the cash modding then if something goes bang, your in trouble. Unless money is no issue :P

I've put in a set of XENONs though, but it doesn't go any quicker :D

Just keep the boost at no more than 15psi with the other things mentioned above and you should be fine

And yes, that power (260) will happen with the mods mentioned above, unless theres a problem with your engine

Mine has all that less those couple of things and does over 250rwkw. Also need rising rate fuel reg. Plus for that boost level steel wheeled turbos is a handy insurance. I lost a good engine to a blown ceramic turbine as the crap often gets forced into the cylinder causing nasty damage.

Additional to all other suggestions I recommend the timing belt/pulley bearings be replaced ASAP as well as new grade 8 bolts for the bearings.

sweet got more replies than i thought

im definatly doing the full fluids change and i was planning to wait a while before trying to get more hp

another question for yas

can my 32 get 240 -260 and still last a while or is it prone to go bang????

I can only tell you of where i went

100K service, doesnt matter if its got 98K or 50K on the clock, you will have a sound base to work from

Redline fluids

Brake fluid

3inch exhaust

front pipe

power fc

boost controller (1 bar)

Adjustable cam gears (both)

= 250rwkw

+ some drag racing

= "hey whats with all the smoke and where is all the power!" (Damn ceramic wheels!)

IMHO Whatever you do be realistic about your expectations and consider the risks.

I dont know your circumstances but if you want to start spending cash on it by all means go nuts.

I did; now i'm asking the forum questions about mods on a 300rwkw combo and contemplating the rebuild next year

....but if you dont, get the service, get a new stereo (is that what young ppl are calling them these days?), fix stuff that becomes an issue

and enjoy driving it for a while...After all it's a still a GTR

    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
    • Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!  
    • While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.
    • Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.
