Hey guys/girls. I'm fairly new to the skyline scene. Just trying to think of "what to do" mods to the engine.

On my old 180, i went the stainless low mount path, with the turbo back exhaust & front mount, it went alright & i enjoyed the kick it gave.

however having seen some of the low mount manifolds that are out there for RB's, there seems to be alot of no name brands tryign to flogg off the stainless steel option for around 300-400 mark. or theres the extreme option of getting a tuned lenth high mount steam pipe for around the 900-1000 mark.

now being that its meant to be a familyish car (haha) i'm not after ball tearing kw's, just something that has a bit more pep when needed. How's the stock manifold hold up with a turbo back exhaust and front mount? - thats pretty much the only bolt on mods i'm planning on doing. (except for if a low mount manifold is good, then i might consider that)

I pretty much want the car to look as stock as possible - obvisouly the front mounts a give away, however i'd be looking at justjap's stealth kit for that. wheels (a set of XD9's) will be the only other mod, oh & suspension while still retaining a comfortable ride.

Cheers for any input.

Ben

If all your doing is a turbo back exhaust and front mount there is def no need to change the manifold, even if you do change the turbo the standard manifold would be fine for the sort of power your after :(

IMO those cheap stainless manifolds are a huge waste of money.

stock manifold will be fine, i made 300rwkw with a 3076R out of the RB25 in my old R32 so with mild mods it will hold up fine and will probably be a better design than the truly awful cheap lowmount options out there at the moment

      This is a real nostalgia trip for me, I mean SK Bilsteins? I ran those lol Good times.  Good work Duncan, it's not an easy job in many respects. I'm sure the family appreciates it.

      It's not a dumb question. I was circling this idea myself. User error is always possible!

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Nope. The seal is in the drive. A new cable would just fill up and continue to convey oil to the speedo head. To check if this is what is happening, take the cluster out, dismantle the speedo and have a look. You probably don't even have to dismantle it. If there is oil coming up the cable, the drive into the speedo will be grossly greasy. I had to manually (and delicately) clean the gunk out of my speedo.

      Thanks for the quick response mate, and I agree Nismo 555s, Z32 and high flow 2871 in OP6 housing (run by PowerFC) would all be "period correct" and should be a simple, reliable and reasonably quick track car.

      It is normal for a speedo to read 0-10% high (unfortunately), intended by manufacturers and ADRs (although not in this case) to ensure your speedo does not read low if your tyres are worn. Speaking of which, what size tyres do you have on the rear, and what does they tyre placard say you should have? you can use this https://tiresize.com/calculator/ to determine what % difference that is causing Personally, when I buy tyres for a car I buy a size that will bring the speedo back to being more accurate; it if it reads 5% high I buy tyres that are 5% larger diameter. If you had an electronic speed sender like R33 onwards, the other option is to add a speedo adjuster but that won't work in R32. Finally, you  might be able to find a different sized gear for the speedo sender but that will be limited to what already exists (and I don't know what sizes do)
