I need some advice . I have a 32 that I love almost like a pet. I've heard that 32's go the fastest. But my car is very slow off the mark. There is a big gain in power as boost kicks in.

So what do I need to do to have similar initial power to an R33. And where do you start. I thought of getting a big 31/2 inch exhaust the other day (for stuff to do) but then wasn't sure wether that is now or later. At the moment the car is stock. I know a electronic boost control (and intercooler ) gives better boost, but what about before boost kicks in?

With the exhaust, will I find that too drony? I want to be able to hear my exhaust when I drive. Don't want to get a three inch to be safe then be unhappy with it.

r32 gtst is the slowest gtst but r32 gtr is the fastest gtr

the first things to do are exhaust in air filter

with an exhaust get a 3"front/dump pipe, high flow cat and a good cat back exhaust

these are the first things most people do to cars

R32 GTSt is a great car but not the best.Also applys for the R32 GT-R>

for you id get a catback exhaust 3" or something just as good,FMIC,boost controller and smack it to 11psi.

its prob the best and cheapest power gain. check out www.modyourcar.com - maybe has a .au , they are the cheapest around i suppose for FMIC.

If you put on a 3" cat-back and POD, the boost will natural spike to about 12PSI (speaking from experience)... but because it's only a 2L engine it's gonna feel slow off boost any way man... (unfortunately)... Go a full 3" turbo-back exhaust with a nice muffler (not a cannon) and it will sound nice and won't drone....

I think you can get cams and gears to change the ratio's and make it feel a lil better down low and spool up a tiny bit quiker?... not sure though, just going off what i've heard there....

Your right boost might spike and also you are also right again , if you get some GTR cams in there it will go abit harder!

Hi, I have a r32 gts-t also that feels ok for my needs although I want to make it faster.

I have a 3" front pipe, 3" high flow cat, 3 1/2" cat back exaust, blitz front mount ic, bleed valve set to 13 psi, bosch 044 fuel pump, exedy single plate clutch, chipped and re-mapped standard ecu.

I have timed it wit a g-tec 0-100 and got 5.2 secs although I have never run it down a quarter. It has 158.8 rw kws at the moment.

In the future I want to upgrade the turbo to a hks 2535 and 550cc injectors and hopefully break into the 200 rw kw mark.

Hope that helps

:)

take it easy

Mark

to get down low response cams and cam gears would do the trick... most RB's are pretty laggy anyway so instead of taking off slow rev to 3grand and drop the clutch. works wonders :)

lol... does do wonders doesn't it.... I did that before i got the new tyres, was an AWESOME launch and the bloke behind me said i laid rubber all though 1st and second and recons it looked unreal....

I don't find the RB26 laggy... although, i don't think i've driven anything more powerfull... so maybe you have a good point there...

Thanks for confirming my statements too guys, I was worried i was wrong and'd get flamed.... lol

Well what I have done ($183.90 worth of mods... got cheap/free stuff but) the car already had an exaust, no dump pipe but, a bigger fuel pump, and a nice big filter. So, so far all that I have done, bleed valve set to about 12psi 13-14psi on a cold nite (going to be checked again soon with winter) bit of 3 1/2inch pipe for cold air. Oil catch can, and a mallpasi rising rate fuel reg. We first did the boost, that made a bit of a diff, but being summer at the time didnt notice it too much, then cold air, that made a nice difference. And then last nite the mallpasi, that really did the job, it feels really nice. And my car is heaver than an R32 GTST, and I still just walk on a number of them (far from all of them but :( ) Hope that helps.

I still have the stock cooler also.

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
