Back Again With A New Ride

[r32gtstJ]

hi all! just wanted to say hello again, I joined SAU 6 years ago but since then alot has happened and

I sold my Skyline R32, which I regretted.

Now i'm back with my fresh new import!

I've been wanting to get another R32 for a while, and found this 1993 GTS-T with genuine 67km on the clock!

It seems like it had a few minor mods like Greddy Strut brace, ARC super induction box, Sickspeed oil reservoir (still dont know what it does)

and aftermarket intercooler.

Look forward to making it a daily driver, not after ridiculous power, and want to leave the engine alone as much as possible.

I like a quick spooler.

planning on a Nistune + Z32 AFM upgrade with a HKS 2530 if I can find one..... but seems non existent these days,

If anyone has any sggestions, please let me know

[r32gtstJ]

anyone know what that can looking thing is in the 7th picture? cheers

Aircon.

I suggest gtr bonnet

[r32gtstJ]

always the first to answer!, thanks hadouken~

GTR Bonnet huh?, well guess so, the car came with GTR lights and bumper after all...

maybe its worth gettin a grill and a bonnet + latch

[Missileman]

get an alarm system, dash mat, and use a sun reflecta on your windscreen when parked up outside

you have a good dash pad so may as well keep it good, mine has just started to bubble in the vinyl and I'm pissed orf about it.

[r32gtstJ]

good advice, will do, and of course, i'll have to alarm it.

i'm getting a Autowatch on it tomorrow, had to fix a AFM issue first

[Missileman]

Tell them not to connect up the turbo timer function, they're a waste of time and illegal, just another thing you will not need to fix if you decide to sell her.

[r32gtstJ]

I dont think I will, its not like i'll boost unnecessarily in town,

I think turbo timers are rarely needed for a daily driver to be honest

Anyone have tints on their car?

I heard its pretty good for uv protection and heat minimization as well..?

[Hadouken]

I think 99% of us have tint.

And I try and serve all newbies on sau. Whether it be constructive or destructive. I'm only human.

[r32gtstJ]

Well thank you, it's been a lot of help.

And as for tints.. Guess that's next after an alarm

[PranK]

Looks great! I love practical, usable builds. Looking forward to this, have you started a build thread?

Ooh and !

[r32gtstJ]

Thank you! I will start a new thread soon, can't really call it a build but will do a few nice touches to the car as time goes

[Missileman]

I used to be a fan of tint when younger, the darker the better, but now I wouldn't consider it, the R32 has a awful blind spot already, tint will just make it worse.

[r32gtstJ]

I've read up on some articles and most will probably agree the rb engines don't have the greatest design when it comes to the reliability of cas.

What would be the most cost effective way of reducing this problem?

Would it be worth installing a trigger wheel of some sort?

The car starts fine when cold,

But when it's been driven for a while it seems to take longer to start thereafter, so hadouken suggested a possible cas issue.

I just wanna see if there are any options before I go out and buy a new cas that costs around $500 just to see it have problems in a year or two

[r32gtstJ]

I could only find the Ross tuff bond trigger kit that costs like 3000 installed which seems like overkill for a non track car who isn't hunting for massive power

[Missileman]

Go post in the NZ forums and see if there is anyone near you how has an rb20 in good working order and is prepared to help you fault find. Then you can start swapping bits over in a process of elimination.

there's a fellow in the forced induction forum that sell his own design triggers, he's one option, but first have you to make sure that the cas is the fault.

[r32gtstJ]

thanks, will see if i can find someone local from here.

[r32gtstJ]

Just a quick question, what would the safe boost level be for my current set up? Is it about 1bar? Or 11-12psi?

[Missileman]

If it is the stock turbo then 12psi is where I'd leave it, you will notice that after 6ooorpm it will fall of to around 7psi as it approaches redline.

[r32gtstJ]

Yeah its stock, just wanted to know before I push it too far, but been keeping it well below 6000rpm
