Landed in June, complied in July and had her first Aussie number plate this week.

GTR R32 1994 - And shes booooooooootiful (I'll admit to being a little biased at this point).

I've tried updating my profile and managed most of it okay, however cannot see where I can edit the RB20DET bit on the left. Can someone please tell me where this part lives?

Cheers

Michele

Congrats michele! did u import thru a broker?

He is an importer/dealer, although I didn't order from o'seas, it was here and complied when I bought it. Its seriously clean, had low k's (57000) which I didn't believe for a minute, however the inspections I've had since seem to support that the k's may have been original. If thats true, then I'm impressed.

Now its time to do my own mods, I've been talking to Trojan and they said I should start with HKS-GTSS Turbos $4000 + Fit $2200.

They pulled the little restrictor out of the boost control (is that what that part is called?) which I understand is compulsary in Japan. I thought it was a good sign that this was still in place.

Slotted rotors, a stronger clutch... OMG maybe I should have bought that heavily modded car in Sydney after all LOL ahh well, I least I know this one has been cared for.

Congrats on the pickup.

As you've probably been told the RDA group buys are excellent value (nearly 1/2 price of what I was quited in Canberra, which was way above retail)

Jim from Brisbane does make a good clutch, I've got one.

The GTSS turbo's are great turbo's if you are going to limit the car to 300rwkw, I went the 2860R-5's and should have the results back this weekend (should have been last weekend) thanks Croydon, they can make it up in the bill.

Other mods to consider

Boost controller

New ECU

100K service, replace belts etc

SK's suspension kit

new cams

adjustable traction control

injectors-fuel pump

and a gold GTR key found in the group buys

Well that's my current wish list :D

very neat ride. are they V-Spec II wheels?

VOLK RACING GROUP A EVOLUTION 2 17" X 9" MAGS

Not a lot else done to it

KAKIMOTO STAINLESS STEEL RACING EXHAUST MUFFLER

TEIN ADJUSTABLE COILOVER SUSPENSION

NEW FALKEN 235/45ZR17 TYRES (which are harder than I hoped/expected, but perhaps I'm spoilt with the Federal 595rs's)

HKS TURBO-TIMER

and thats about it, the rest is up to me.

If u got the cash get the turbo put on , but i think it would be wiser to built up the supporting mods first so u get the most out of the turbos.

If i was u i would get (approx prices)

*remove hicas $400

*adjustable cam gears $400

*power Fc plus tune $1500

*a good EBC $500

*oil cooler $1000 (if u are on the track)

*injectors-fuel pump $1400

*adjustable control and castor arms front and rear $1100

but this is just me , dont flame me about the prices it just off the top of my head

It a really clean looking r32 well done

HICAS - wouldn't remove it unless you find it hinders your driving.

Cam gears are a good idea, no ideas on price.

Power FC and tune great, might find it costs $1400 for an "Australian" delivered version or wait weeks from other stores.

Electronic boost controllers are great if pushing more than 1 bar/14.9 PSI $500 will get a cheap one plus fitting costs.

Oil cooler and filter relocation are great improvements if you do track work or service the car yourself, remember to get a thermostat controlled one in Canberra else your oil temp will never raise to operating temperature doing general driving in winter. about $1500 installed

Injectors and fuel pump if chasing more than 300rwkw, $1700 I was recently quoted but the fuel pump fitted $700 seemed a bit pricy to me

Not bad on the prices GTR32GUS :D

For the RDA buy, just look in the group buys section in the forum, it stands out somewhat

do u have brembo brakes or just the standard nissan one

The 324mm rotors are for the brembo brakes

The 297mm are for the standard brakes

Thanks, I thought it may have meant

F=FRONT

R=REAR

I imagine prices quotes are for a pair... or is it each?

      ...just a note of warning, you shouldn't drive it about with the TCU in limp mode with only 3rd gear available ~ apart from the fact you end up sheering the ATF at the torque converter interface, the high clutch in these isn't especially the strongest, particularly bolted to the RB25DE mill...which is likely a 4AX01 box with lighter duty high clutch (the RB25DET got the bigger high clutch)...be careful out there...

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy

      FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
