Hey,

I’m Ben and I’m 18 and live in Brisbane. I’m extremely into skylines and im looking into buying my own r32 gts-t in the next 2 weeks and joining you guys in the sau community.

I will be buying a stock r32 so id like to get a body kit (amongst other things) for it, what type of kit should I get the Price isn’t an issue. If u know any websites, which has a variety of kits, I can look at please reply with the URL or the name of one that you like for me to look up.

Thanks in advance

Oh ok cool.

Will you be going performance or just making it look good.

Putting a bodykit on it straight away will look pretty strange on a stock r32.

Maybe go for some wheels first and then a bkit then concider lowering it. Theres a certain order of things you need to do sometimes.

If the engines stock what do u need a short shift kit for :dry:

You should do the engine up a little bit before shit like that.

Full exhaust system: Larger diametre dump pipe, Headers, New cat, And a full cat back with a new muffler ;)

Pod filter and maybe cold air intake,

Boost controller and crank the boost up on the stock turbo to about 10 - 12 PSI

and a new BOV.

Thats just what id do if i had a gts-t but im not allowed one :wave:

Ask people on here about what the best brands and prices are and where/where not to go.

Also things like gear knobs and steering wheels arent to great unless you plan on turning your car into a boyracer, But its your car so go hard out :wave:

Your exaust system controlls your car emissions.. If you know how an engine works then you will know what the exhaust is used for.

Pod filter or air any sort of intake filters are your source of air induction, Again if you know how an engine works you will know why you need air intake.

Boost controllers set the amount of pressurised air being put into the engine from the turbo.

A compressor bypass valve (CPV) also known as a compressor relief valve is a vacuum-actuated valve designed to release pressure in the intake system of a turbocharged car when the throttle is lifted or closed. This air pressure is re-circulated back into the non pressurized end of the intake (before the turbo) but after the mass airflow sensor.

A blowoff valve, (BOV, sometimes hooter valve) does basically the same thing, but releases the air to the atmosphere. This creates a very distinctive sound desired by many who own turbocharged sports cars. Some blowoff valves are marketed with trumpet shaped exits that amplify the "psshh" sound. For some owners this is the only reason to fit a BOV.

Hope this clears up some things

i bought a stock r33 and built it up myself. trust me it isnt cheap and it never ends. if you can your way better off buying one in good condition but already with a kit youd like. Talk to steve69s@f**khotmail.com he's got a sweet r32 hes looking to part with but hasnt advertised yet.

dont get a kit without rims, it'll look totally stupid, and u'll get no "respect" wat so ever, which is what i think ull be wanting.

get kit and rims and suspension at the one time if possible. kit wise id go a do luck kit, with prolly some do luck rims if ur after look. then ull need it re-sprayed.

then exhaust, caus itll look ghey with a kit, rims, suspension with the stock exhaust.

then pod filter. boost controller & aftermarket computer. then some slotted rotors, good pads & decent fluid.

thats how i went with my R33, which ill tell u i had BEFORE i got my licence, and now im 19 and have an R32 gtr thats almost finished being built :ermm:

oh, and dont go driving like u stole it, caus u being inexperienced WILL crash

Why does everyone think a pod filter is better than the standard intake?? There have been countless tests of these filters and the winner was always the standard intake with an aftermarket panel filter!!

And the BOV is going to draw too much attention so if you can afford it, get the Stealth from GFB as it can be hand-switched between loud or full plumb-back settings. If you get an exhaust, do it right the first time and get good quality dumps from the turbo, an aftermarket cat that won't restrict the flow and a good solid cat-back exhaust that is legal!! First thing they look for is the BOV followed by the exhaust!!

Depending on what you want first here is a list of the common things to change to get it up to a beastie in the order I did them (sort of anyway).

Air Filter

Exhaust

Shocks and springs and pineapples

Strut braces

BOV

ECU (computer)

Boost Controler

Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC)

Fuel pump

Fuel pressure Regulator

Spark plugs Timing belt and water pump

Went back to standard BOV

Brake booster stop

turbo

Coming soon (or later)

disc rotors

injectors

HD sway bars

You may want to make it look good first, that is up to your own taste, I'm quite happy with the look, but the bonnet with the wheels was a great improvement and I dont have plans for anything else, whatever you do DO NOT use fibreglass for a front bar or side skirts, it just doesnt last.
