Yeah runs real rich you can see the AFR dropping off below 10.5 Hmmm, very interesting power, thats damn good. I would like to see the boost, when I drop into SST next I might ask steve what boost the car was making. Well, it all depends on how much power you want to make. If you think the extra 30-40hp will satisfy you then for the money spent on the safc and bleed valve you cant go wrong. If you want more power, ie: going to run a bigger turbo. I'd buy an aftermarket ecu that has some sort of boost control built in, like the powerfc or the wolf3d, rather than buy a bleeder and safc2. The best we have seen on a r33 gtst with a jap remapped ecu was mrgtst with around 285hp. Basically all he had was a HKS fmic, apexi avcr with the boost up around 12psi. Also keep in mind if you want to run a bigger turbo you will also need a fmic, if you are staying with the stock dont bother with a fmic, just back off on really hot days when you hear the engine pinging or if you do any track work.

*shrug* maybe some aftermarket cams or a HKS/aftermarket turbo perhaps. But 230hp on the same dyno I was making 245hp with an ebc set to 12psi and you only had 9psi doesnt seem right :/ must be something in there, but the car is definately running very rich and the safc2 will sort that out.

I have a cheap boost gauge and dont trust it as far as I can throw it. I turned my bleed valve up 2 turns from standard which should be 9 psi by the bleed valve manafacturers specs but the guage says around 10-12 and gets huge spikes up to 14. my next investment is a descent gauge to make sure it is the gauge as said further up, it could be the bleed vavle.

R31Heaven, why dont you just borrow one to test it with, saves you paying for another one if the results are the same!!

As with the Bleeders, i have the GFB bleed valve and have only had one problem! no spikes or anything, just once after a track day, somehow it set itself up to 16psi, and only took me one look at the boost guage to see why the car was jerking and spluttering like crazy on full boost! the stock guage didn't show me anything different to normal..

this may be since the boost guages are T pieced, but that shouldn't affect a vacuum guage!!

Most of you twats dont f*ckin read!

the stock gauge isn't crap. it's just not GRANULAR enough to read accurately!

but hey, if you rely on the stocker and blow your turbo then i'll be the first mofo to say "sucked in, i told you so"

Answer this: Have you increased the boost on your car and do you have an aftermarket guage?

There is no way I would increase the boost on my car via the factory boost guage, and anyone that is.....good luck. :D

      New R32 owner soon

      Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)

      1992 R32 GT-R Race Car

      By bardabe · Posted

      I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email. (+19517081648) email is juan@bardabe.com
