hey guys, just felt like putting up some pics of my 89 r32 gts 4 door :D

bought it for $3400 off at an auction :)

pretty rough but its good for my first car

been told it has type m front bar, skirts, pods and spoiler.

what do you guys think ??

on the list of mods for future include

-touch up paint in afew places

-coilovers

-nice wheels

-possibly a interior retrim

-pod filter

any other ideas ??

Get rear spats and maybe de-wing it?

If I still had mine, I'd do garden edging the lip on front bumper, get gtr offset rims and slam it, shame I sold it.

Cheers

Grant

im not really a big fan of the bn kit

looks abit plain at the front and i dont like how the back comes up on such an angle

any other kits ??

im thinkin if im going to bother with one ill go for one like this

http://carmate.com/product_details.php?pro...d=NSGTS4D91ABFB

or a gtr one

oh yehh, ive seen your ride

JELOUS is only way i can describe haha

how much it costed you in mods ??

would of costed a mint

i reakon gtr front is the best option! how much did it cost you to do gtr bonnet and grill ?? is it easy to fit ?

My car was very cheap from Japan back in 2004 when importing was relatively new for R32s. Haven't really spent much because most of it was already done, really the respray and the twinplate clutch were by far the two most expensive things I have done.

GT-R bars can be quite hard to track down, in your case I would try and wait for the same colour to come up and buy that rather than getting a cheaper one that is in the wrong colour :(. Ditto for Bonnet. Fitment is exactly the same as a GT-R although I have the guards as well, I believe it is a simple process to fit to gts-t guards. The important thing is that the stock GT-R bar actually has very good aero properties, is plastic and quite light, and does look fantastic. It's very hard to go past. The bonnet is also a great mod because the gts-t bonnet actually weighs a lot :). Guards are not really worth the effort in my experience.

All this said, my GF has a stock gts-t that the Count was refering to :D and it's going to stay stock because really.. the stock setup is very good and looks very good too.

  • 3 weeks later...

____ UPDATE _____

Just thought id update this topic with some new pics.

Still looks basically the same.

Sprayed the stock wheels black and removed the hubs.

Put in white dials for speedo + blue led's.

Momo steering wheel.

Race pedals.

Blue led's in the footwells (im a kid so dont flame :D ).

Currently got some clear indicators and a cannon sitting in the shed but not on the car as of yet.

still havnt touched up paint but im getting there haha.

Anyways tell me what you guys think :(

The gauge faces are aftermarket, got them off ebay cheap from a broken dash ($25) but you can buy them from ebay brand new for like $70 (rip off in my opinion for white plastic haha)

The footwell led's are hooked up to a switch so they can be on full time or when doors open or off. :)

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
