Hey guys this is near my first time posting here on SkyAus.

I just purchased a R32 GTR but i'm not new to turbo vehicles.

To be honest I don't know a whole lot about these things and yes ive been searching the forums etc.

It currently has a full 3" exhaust, aftermarket fmic, hks pods and coilovers.

In short I basically what the most power out of it with out spending over 1-2k.

Wan't to leave the turbo's alone.

Some things I have heard is power fc and a tune.. also cam gears?

Will be running a bleed valve around 12-13psi if the thing does a decent job. If not i guess ill be forced into buying a ebc.

Also what kind of power am I looking at? Thanks for your patience :( !

Yeah PFC and EBC would be the way to go and with stock turbos that are really old you can run 14psi but eventually will blow and wreck ur engine and then u will end up spendin like 10k on a rebuild. So maybe you should consider getting a couple of hks gtss or maybe 2860-7's? but with stock turbos and healthy motor u would probably run about 250rwkw. Cam gears will give you more low and mid range gains

hey mate, youve definietely got the basic bolt on mods done. so the best thing to do is to up the boost as you plan to and get a Power fc with a tune. PM hanyou, as i think he is selling one at the moment. You should be able to do this within your price range of 1-2k. With a set of camgears, you should be hitting 250kws at the wheels.

Thanks thats some good info! Yeah thats why I said 12-13psi. 14psi might just push the old turbo's a little too far!!!!

So the power fc is definatly next on the list then. As for the cam gears I know they can cost a bit. Would I get as big of a improvement from the cam gears as I would the power fc with a tune?

250awkw with cam gears so what awkw would i be looking at with just the power fc and tune. Thanks again!

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
