r32 GTST.
Already have done a few mods to it
Braking: rotors(DBA 4000 series) and pads (Qfm A1RM)
transmission: was auto converted to manual (exedy hyper single VF clutch)
turbo mods: 3 inch turbo back exhaust with JJR Bellmouth dump-pipe.
front mount inter-cooler with ARC bov.
HKS GTRS Turbo with HKS actuator(11psi)
also fitted but not hooked up is a HKS EVC.
Tyres: hankook RS3 front and random back
Suspension: Gecko coilovers G-Racing
Random:
roll cage
GTR spoiler
Nismo gear-knob


Mods I'm planing on doing:
upgrade arms/rods
hook up HKS EVC
increase steering lock
turn up the boost!
put in nismo 2 Way
change ecu(whats good?)
GTR 440 injectors
tune car
possibly forged Rb20det?

Setting car up to just have fun with it and track it.
not really chasing huge power, just want to drive to the track drift and drive home.
any advice would be appreciated.

Don't open the motor unless you absolutely have to. So don't "forge" it. Std RB20 will take 20+ psi fun for a loooong time.

The ECU is your first priority. The easiest option here is to Nistune it. Nowadays Nistune allows you to run flex-fuel too, so your options are even better than before. Other options are all the other aftermarket options. Finding a suitable PowerFC is not so easy for RB20s, and besides which they're all old and they don't offer you even as good an ECU as the factory one....so I don't see them as a sensible choice. After that it's a case of how much money do you want to spend? Haltech, Vipec, Motec, Adaptronic, etc etc. Variations from slightly DIY to Rolls Royce in that lot.

Don't use GTR injectors. It's not the 1990s any more. Just buy some Xspurts from Scotty. 1000cc is NOT too big and will help if you do use E85.

Mae sure you put a good fuel pump into it. The big E85 compatible Walbros seem to the be best choice at the moment, Again, see Scotty. (Hint, search the forums for mentions of Scotty and injectors and see how many thousands of threads there are).

Otherwise your list is pretty good. You can spend as much money as you like on new bushes for the subframe, diff, suspension arms etc. I would suggest 24mm front adjustable bar and a 22mm rear adjustable to go with it. Actually given that you want to rape (drift) it you'll probably want a 24mm bar at the rear.

For a drifter you certainly want to make sure HICAS is deleted. Properly deleted, not just lock barred.

I have tried turning the boost up and cuts out at 120 ish km's randomly, have a feeling the pipe that runs from airflow to turbo is collapsing.
if I was going to go Power FC I was going to put in a rb26 version.(yes 26) if you line the pins ups side by sid there is only a few different bridge air flow etc.
E85 isn't an option for me as there isn't any E85 in my area and my r32 is my daily.

24mm all round sounds have to see what people have posted about super pro/Whiteline

I have removed the whole hicas system (lines and all) running an r33 power steering pump with a lock bar

You cannot expect to push it with those mods until you tune it. Nistune would be best bang for buck.

Track days are great. Sure you want to drift it?

Drive to track. Drift it. Break stuff. Trailer it home....

      Getting lug nuts "gutentight" with no torque wrench

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.

      Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂

      Getting lug nuts "gutentight" with no torque wrench

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺

      Coc or nox of nissan skyline

      Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees.

      I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.
