Hey guys, recently brought an R32 GTS-4 which has a few stage one mods and want to know where abouts to go from here.

Currently has:

R33 Turbo

3 inch turbo back exhaust

FMIC

Bosch 040 fuel pump

Running 10psi

Standard airbox

I was thinking of getting it nistuned next, however should i upgrade injectors or will the stock ones be ok?

Car is daily driven, must be a reliable tune/setup, hoping to get around 180-190rwkws. But more the better provided it's somewhat reliable :)

Cheers.

Your stock injectors will be fine for that power level.

Nistune would be the best thing to do next.

Seeing as you have the 4WD model a good clutch should be on the cards too.

Sorry forgot to mention, has exedy heavy duty clutch and aftermarket suspension.

should have had a tune before the turbo swap... so most certainly you need to sort that out.

why? before the turbo swap it was a stocker with an exhaust and a cooler.

nistune would make a nice upgrade. you might find youself maxxing the standard injectors but every car is different

We will see how we go. Yeah I brought the car with the mods already done, so hoping to get the most of whats already there for the time being.

Will go with the nistune and take it from there. Thanks.

All cars benefit from a good tune regardless of stock turbo or not.

Didnt see the part about him recently purchasing, either way ECU is next

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.

      That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...

      It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.

      Oh, I forgot to mention this before.  It is accepted that your taking on risk buy turning up the power on a 30 year old stock motor. You can lower the risk with the ECU engine protection, but this is more money on sensors. CAN wideband, oil temp, oil pressure, coolant pressure, fuel pressure, air temp, etc. It adds up quick.  I am a huge fan of running all of the engine protection the ECU offers. You'll have to decide for yourself how you want the engine protection setup and what you think is worth monitoring.
