Hey guys,

im going to write down a few mods i have done / planning to do and i was hoping ppl could give me ideas as to power potential and weak points and any good suggestions..

this car will be doing track and street duties and was hoping to have a car that had good power but good street ability.

this may seem excessive to some but am just doing the car to have upgrade ability if i want to take it further in the future

the car is an R32 GTS-T

RB26 Engine with following mods :

forged pistons

forged rods

jun oil pump

has had a crank collar fitted

tomei sump baffles

tomei cams - unsure of specs but i think they r mild

hks cam gears

new bearings

ported head

should i get a head drain? im not sure if the block had restrictors put in it

other stuff:

ross balancer

injector dynamics 1000cc injectors

twin entry fuel rail

turbosmart plumb back bov (this only has a 32mm port - will this be too small?)

turbosmart fpr 1200

turbosmart eboost 2

2 x turbosmart 40mm wastegates (i bought one but was told it was gonna be too small so im going to buy another 40mm instead of trying to sell the one i have and buy a bigger one)

twin thermo fans instead of clutch radiator fan - anyone had experience with any of these? reccomendations?

electric water pump

6boost split pulse turbo manifold

GTX 3076 turbo

Haltech P2000 ecu

remote oil filter with cooler and thermostat

auto gearbox built by mv automatics (personal preference)

gearbox oil cooler

bosch 044 pump with surge tank ( would one be enough? or should i get another?)

possibly hks ignition power amplifier? - ideas?

was thinking about water/meth injection as well as pulp - would i need to get 2 seperate tunes or would one be enough?

one more thing, the g/box was out of an R33 and the rear end of the car is an R32 so im guessing the speedo is going to be out of wack

anyone got any good suggestions to fix it? i have had a look around at some ideas but havent found any that take my fancy yet

thanks to anyone who has any helpful ideas!!!!

Matt

tomei sump baffles

tomei cams - unsure of specs but i think they r mild Poncam type B is probably what you want, 260IN&EX 9.15mm lift

hks cam gears New ones or old ones?

new bearings

ported head Save your money, get it serviced and spend the money on something else

should i get a head drain? im not sure if the block had restrictors put in it You're saying that you are planning on doing these mods, but this sounds like it's been done?

other stuff:

ross balancer

injector dynamics 1000cc injectors

twin entry fuel rail Save your money, stock one is fine and will cost you less in lines and fittings

turbosmart plumb back bov (this only has a 32mm port - will this be too small?) Stock GTR BOV's would do the job

turbosmart fpr 1200

turbosmart eboost 2

2 x turbosmart 40mm wastegates (i bought one but was told it was gonna be too small so im going to buy another 40mm instead of trying to sell the one i have and buy a bigger one)

twin thermo fans instead of clutch radiator fan - anyone had experience with any of these? reccomendations? You will find so many tried this and then went back to the stock setup

electric water pump

6boost split pulse turbo manifold

GTX 3076 turbo

Haltech P2000 ecu

remote oil filter with cooler and thermostat

auto gearbox built by mv automatics (personal preference)

gearbox oil cooler

bosch 044 pump with surge tank ( would one be enough? or should i get another?) One will be fine on pump fuel, surge tank probably not needed

possibly hks ignition power amplifier? - ideas?

was thinking about water/meth injection as well as pulp - would i need to get 2 seperate tunes or would one be enough?

one more thing, the g/box was out of an R33 and the rear end of the car is an R32 so im guessing the speedo is going to be out of wack

Thanks for the suggestions mate

the engine has already been built, the only thing i havent done is added a head drain

the only other suggestion you made that hasnt been done or attempted is the thermo fans

my clutch fan is on its way out so i figured i would see what my options were.

i already have a twin entry fuel rail, plumb back bov and surge tank

the engine came with the hks cam gears and tomei cams, im just not sure what the specs are

any guesses as to power potential?

With regards to the diff - easiest option to get the gearing a bit better suited to the bigger engine and to get the speedo correct is just to get an R33 or R34 diff with 4.11 gears in it. If you need to you can install the internals into your R32 housing.

But.....I would think that an old viscous diff is going to disappoint you somewhat, so you'd probably be looking for a proper diff at some stage anyway.

1000cc injectors for a gt3076?:blink: (Unless your going twins)

Install a T04Z, THEN the injectors will be useful ;)

Save your pennies on the FPR, stick with the stock one, perfectly fine.

+1. And +1 to everything N1GTR said. Especially using the stock clutch fan for better cooling. Get a decent radiator + clutch fan = happy days even on a 30 degree day.

A GTX3076 is really still a baby, and from all reports thus far they wont make much more than than a GT3076 anyway so around 330rwkw.

Also don't need a rear oil drain if the motor has been built correctly with restrictors and enlarged returns. They seem to be the latest craze for whatever reason but no-one has really required them before if done correctly.

You wont need a HKS DLI box either, you aren't really pushing too hard with that turbo

Yea, i got them in preperation of E85, also i got them cheap :)

i only got most of this stuff because i didnt have anything stock

i got the fpr really really cheap too..

maybe i will just stick with clutch fan.

also if i went with a 3582 or something like that, what sort of lag am i looking at?

anyone one want to reccommend a good turbo? anyone got any experience with the 3582r?

thanks everyone

FMIC?

And you won't really need WMI if you have E85.....if you don't have E85 then WMI is the next best thing.

Also if you intend using yours for long interstate type trips then WMI is probably a better option.

twin thermo fans instead of clutch radiator fan - anyone had experience with any of these? reccomendations?- i run a single 16" thermo on a 50mm radiator, never had any cooling issues be it on the track or in traffic (standard temp thermostat)

remote oil filter with cooler and thermostat - consider getting a thicker PWR radiator with built in oil cooler as i don't see an aftermarket radiator listed anywhere and it will also act as an oil warmer when its cold.

Expect full boost around 4k or a bit after with a GT35 (assuming 0.82 housing size) and capable of 360-380kw a little more if you push it hard.

Noel (fineline) had good results with a GT3788R (T4 twin scroll). Capable of 400+kw with only a little bit more lag than the GT35, but the crucial part is that it uses the large frame turbo core where as the GT35 uses the smaller core like the GT30 series which isn't as strong.

Otherwise if you want a fairly responsive setup that's got some chance of traction on street tyres (being rwd) the GT30 setup is a good choice, be it normal GT or GTX series.

yea i have a FMIC but im hoping E85 will be coming out where i am soon.

i will use the water/meth injection to keep the head nice and clean also..

what brand thermo you using Titan?

just plain old supercheap one.

E85 will reduce the carbon buildup as is.

    • I did read your post, a few times actually.    Done. Followed this step. [Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.]   Did this partially.. now that im reading this over, i only unplugged the LED lights. [Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches.] When you are talking about the switch, you're talking about the knob thing on the right side in the drivers seat right? If so, i need to take that apart?  [Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch.] At this point are you referring to the connector by the headlights?  [If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.] Did this. I can confirm that the LED lights aren't the issue [Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.]
    • Hey was wondering if you ended up installing the R33 GTR speed sensor - I found one too and wanted to confirm it's a direct swap into the R34 6 speed?
    • After 23 years of owning a Skyline, finally had the latch go.  Followed this guide,  works like a dream again. Great Guide 👍
    • Hi all,   I’ve got the biggest lot of problems with my R33 GTS-T   It was a freshly rebuilt 25th anniversary RB25DET (plastic cas, neo cams) probably 6 years ago now   The engine was running so well but I fkd up badly and trusted someone I’d known for 10 years that was well known around Plazmaman for his welding and fab work. I added a lovely photo of some of his previous work. Not sure why my car was worked on by whoever did this shit     I’m normally someone who would never open myself up to something like this, I still can’t believe I did it. Trusting him literally fkd it all up for me. Everything has been a struggle, like it’s almost been 6 years that’s how much I’ve just on and off been trying to work it all out.    All I wanted was a car that danced down low, like full boost from around 3~3500rpm to redline, don’t really care what power it puts down (if it ever does) but I just wanted it to be quick to get on it.    He recommended the turbo to get, I picked Hypergear but he told me to get the front 4” with a T4 and 0.68 rear housing.    I was expecting all these beautiful welds, tidy fab work and paid for it to be ready to go to a tuner when I got it back.    I got a car back that was an absolute mess, I actually couldn’t believe it was my car anymore. I don’t think you could even call what he did welds, they’re disgusting.    So I stripped everything he touched off it and with every bolt I loosened it just got worse and worse.    I covered it and literally built and finished another car in the meantime but now it’s getting to the point where I really want my Skyline back.   Its a struggle because I paid him to do all this shit because I didn’t know how to and now I’ve had to try and figure it all out omg    Please excuse the bird shit horrible welds, I’ve got my show pony car and am so beyond dealing with this car I don’t even really care at this point.    If someone told me about what he did to my car I wouldn’t have believed them but it happened to me. It was unbelievable. He went missing, my car went missing, it came back missing parts, the straight af chassis rails bore the scars of being dragged up a trailer backwards, even the sandwich plate was bent. Everything was leaking and open to whatever fell into it, rounded off/ missing bolts, power steering oil and coolant everywhere, no gaskets, parts stolen off it, even managed to damage the sump pan.   Promised me he’d finish the car, knew what it meant to me, I paid him thousands and thousands just for him to trash it. He told me he was fully licensed and insured, come to find out he’d cancelled his ABN, so obviously no insurance. I had laid up insurance on the car and would’ve been covered but I was scared they would’ve written it off or because the business was no longer trading I’d still be liable.    He was supposed to:  New fully custom mild steam pipe exhaust manifold with turbo location moved from factory position to high forward mount. (I don’t know if it is a mild steam pipe, I’ve got a funny feeling the waste gate isn’t in a very good position and I don’t think the outlets off each cylinder are equal) 4” custom stainless steel dump with external gate (he re-plumbed it) Cut and shut OEM intake manifold with throttle reposition (I ended up doing the throttle reposition) Box in pod filter (left out) New 100cel catalytic converter (pretty sure it’s there but unsure if it’s 100cel) Front mount intercooler piping fabricated to suit (all smashed up and rusty holes where he was supposed to make it look standard where fmic piping passes through. I don’t even think my front bar is going to fit 🙄) Custom 5” intake pipe from pod to turbo (didn’t come with it so had to do something to make it work with the Z32 afm)   Engine: Full cylinder head service & machining  Brand new valves Precision upgraded spring kit Engine block honed New bearings  New piston rings  New ARP conrod bolt kit New ARP head studs Cometic head gasket VRS kit   ATR43SS2 ball bearing turbo 0.68 rear housing  Turbosmart 45mm external wastegate (got delivered to the fab bloke, I’ve got no idea what spring is in it, I’m assuming the one that came pre installed) Walbro 260 fuel pump  Nismo 740cc injectors (tested to 880) Spitfire coil packs GCG FMIC RB25DET manual 5 speed 4:11 rear diff   I’ve got an Apexi Power FC in it atm, I was hoping to just get it to operating temp to make sure everything was okay before towing to a tuner but it’s over-fuelling too much. I don’t think that’s going to happen so i think I’m going to get either a Link G4 or Haltech for it. What do you guys recommend? I can’t work out the power FC so just gonna give up on that one     It’s got an exhaust leak coming from somewhere I can’t see 🙄    The fuel pressure was steady but now it like drops from 40 to 20psi randomly (noticed this yesterday)    I’ll attach pics of the shit he put on my car and the engine bay now as it sits    I really just need some help, I need a tuner in Sydney I can trust, I’d like to be with the car while it’s being tuned if possible, I know it looks terrible but unfortunately I’ve just got to put up with it for now and fix the cosmetic stuff later   Do you guys think the manifolds are going to be okay? Or do I throw the exhaust manifold and try again?   I don’t even think these combinations are going to work tbh   I know everything I fitted was rated to be able to take at least 400kW but most rated higher    If you’ve gotten this far I really really appreciate it 🙏 I don’t mind if you trash me or the car, I made a rookie error and f**k I’ve paid for it. As you’ll see 🙄
