How can it because i want to get a r32 without a turbo because of the insurance and all, but what mods can i get to improve the horsepower, acceleration ect without a turbo.

This is gonna be my first car cos i am 17 now and 18 next year, but i just want some tips on how to improve the peformance of a r32 gts-t skyline without a turbo.

just changing the exhaust system to a larger unit.. opening up the air inlet with a pod or better panel filter should give you a good start.. then you can consider ecu remap or S-AFC.. then extractors. after that mb different cams, and porting the head a little (if you want to go that far into it). Could change the diff if its a manual to auto diff to give u a bit more acceleration off the line.

you have to remember though that the more mods (even if n/a) the more insurance will slug you, especially if you are a p-plater. maybe just keeping it stock for a while might be easiest (even if its just for a year)

Save your money - dont throw your cash away on trying to extract power out of the RB20DE or RB25DE.

Add some simple breathing mods, exhaust, headers & pod filter etc, but leave it at that

With the money you would spend on making the gts faster you could have bought a gtst.

I have thought about getting rid of the rb30e and dropping an rb25de into an r31 but it really isnt worth it. I think the most it would it making at the wheels with some mods would be 110rwkw. I doubt it would have the same torque output even with the same mods.

The rb20de would be even worse, torque is going to be pretty sad. When you have an N/A engine displacement makes quite a difference and is an advantage.

The rb30 with the same mods would have a similar output (90 - 100rwkw) but it would have more torque.

Its been posted up on the forums a few times that the difference between N/A and turbo skylines isnt that much.

If you are serious about modding the rb20de go with what blitz said. Its simply not worth going any further apart from turbo charging it.

I think you'd get from 0-100km/h in around 8.2 - 9.0 secs.

I say, save you money up for a gtst. You will be thankful you did and the turbo makes a world of difference.

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
