Hi all,

I just bought a 1993 Nissan Skyline R32 Coupe (GTS4 RB20DET) and i was wondering what modifications to do on it as I am still a P plater?

The car is basically Lowered, body kit, new heavy duty clutch and rims. Besides that, its all stock.

Any suggestions on what modifications I can do as for now?

Have a read through the forums, lots of info for modifying your Skyline here.

Good to see a new R32 GTS-4 owner on here, it's an awesome car to drive :(

As mentioned above, a turbo back exhaust would be a good place to start. Then you can look at a pod filter and go from there... All depends on how much money you have, there's no shortage of parts out there :(

wow didn't know GTS4's came with a turbo from factory

if that's the case definitely a turbo back exhaust, most systems are cat back only so you would need to source a high flow catalytic convertor and bell mouth dump pipe

then a pod filter with a heat shield or high flow panel filter if you want to keep the stock airbox

also some aftermarket management like a a/f ratio controller or programmable replacement ecu with boost controller

Thanks for the help guys.

Well, I got a pod filter installed on the car now (DRIFT brand) is that any good?

Also, can anyone recommend me a good BOV for an RB20DET which is easily bolted on the crossover pipe (replacing the stock BOV).

A good one which makes a single 'pshhh' sound.

Thanks for the help.

DR/FT...

Ok, lets just say, SAU prefer other brands then anything from Autobarn :(

But if it does the job for you then all good.

To be honest, if you are running stock boost, your stock BOV will be fine.

All those aftermarket BOVs are wank unless you are running a very high level of boost and your stock BOV can't handle the pressure anymore.

+ Now you have an air pod, the pod itself will make some kinda 'Choo' noise after your turbo has spooled and you release the throttle.

Pod filter first. to get the wOooSh sound.. Then a turbo-back exhaust.. not catback' unless u want less power. try justjap.com or gktech.com.au

get stainless steel so down the track you wont need to replace it. then get a front mount intercooler & then finally get a boost controller.. should get you close to 200rwkws.

2nd hand turboback exhaust 500$

intercooler $500

boost controller turbotech - $30

Boost gauge $50

pod filter $100

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
