hey guys i got a 1993 32 gtst

its got

-fmic

-oil cooler

-stock dump pipe, trust down pipe and a 3 inch with one muffler!

-walbro fuel pump.. usure what.. but better than stock lol

-hks adj waste gate actuator

after paint and coil-overs i have around 2400$,

tune and re-map around $400

so i have 2 g left for upgrade.. am thinking

Z32 AFM

bigger turbo

full dump pipe to cat

but that is as far as i have got so far.

a mate reccomended a kkr replacement turbo around $580 from ebay, had a look, rated too 430hp etc, what are peoples opinions on these, or a VG30 turbo, i like the idea of KKR because it is a new item and not used before.

fair sure i want too stay internal gate and low mound too try keep the fuzz away!

any opinions, reccomendations etc would be very appreciated... thanks

no one keen on helping me :'(

Search here and on Google for lots on the KKR units. Mostly not to positive but anyway, have a read.

Ditto for lots of turbo and other options for RB20. See the stickys at the start of Forced Induction forum for lots of info.

I do feel for you though. There's so much info that you may have even more questions afterwards. Anyway, lots of options is always a good thing.

Good luck.

Honestly, a good look at the suspension and replace buggered stuff. Throw a proper dump pipe on it. A toshi remap for the std turbo, or perhaps an R33 turbo. Unless you are willing to poor thousands at the car i wouldnt go for anything bigger then an RB25 turbo with a chipped ecu.

If you ave cash left over spend it on some GTR rims and tyres and go belt the thing around the track and spend the money enjoying it rather then pouring cash into it. Getting carried away with mods ruined the fun i have with my car :)

GO the rb25 turbo , i boosted my vg30 too 16.5 pound daily and couldn't kill it, mind u all that rb20 in my r31 was good for was drifting and thrashing, made fun power and bigwank noises but, no good for daily driving. :D

+1 - cheap mod i got my turbo 4 $300 from sss automotive, rb25 turbo should tire u over till u can grab an rb25 witha decent snail :(

So So true. Enjoy the car Punt it around on as many track/private practice days as possible otherwise it will snowball into a money pit thats sits in the

garage in pieces with promises of being the weapon it deserves to be.

In all honesty you really need to evaluate what your long term goals are for the car and study study study cause man there is hours and hours of info on every path you could wanna take. its all been done. jus do it once and do it right otherwise your just pi$$in money up the wall.

+ 1 to having fun in your car insted of turning it into a money pit.................................. like me ;)

It'll cost you thousands and thousands to mod it, and will cost you that again to fix it wheni breaks every 3 months.

If i had my time again (and will soon) im gunna buy a stocko (or close too) coilovers, tie rods, castor rods, camber arms, brakes, fmic, oil cooler, and in your case r33 turbo, boost controller and tune.

Then you can have fun. for a long time.

      R32 goes out in right curves

      That's true. However, this problem has started since the tuning. First time with the return journey from the tuning. But yes, the pipe was clogged with dirt and rust. That was certainly due to age

      Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.

      Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.

      If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
