Hi guys, just wondering what are some good options for an R32 GTR turbo upgrade (based on your experience).

Car is a 1992 model and I soon want to get rid of the stock turbos.

Current Mods:

- Trust intercooler

- HKS hard pipe kit

- Alloy 52mm radiator

- Aftermarket front pipe into aftermarket 3" cat back exhaust

- PowerFC with hand controller

I was looking at some 2860 -7...just need other opinions.

My future goals for now is around 260kw atw on low boost setup. With a responsive turbo spool.

Preferably around $1,200 budget.

Thanks.

-7's will get you just over 300kws

-9's is the SAU preferred

look at $2500 plus fitting

Ps. Keep your standard camshaft but get some cam gears.

if you want to do it on a budget look out for some second hand t28 silvia or pulsar turbo's. these make a good upgrade and if you are patient you could probably pickup a couple from those guys who have upgraded their stock ones.

that $1200 budget will get you a set of 2nd hand -7's pretty easily.

Swap them out yourself and - I can't believe i'm saying this - run the car on your current tune while you save for a re-tune.

A fuel pump would also be a good idea

Thanks man, yeah that plan sounds good. Saw a pair of near new going for $1200.

I snapped my -7's up for $1100 a couple of years ago. Swapping them yourself is a bit of a pain but it's doable. While your at it, find yourself a set of R34 dumps if you don't already have after market ones and you'll be well on your way to 300kw.

    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
