Rez's R32 GTS-t Type M... presentable version!


Recommended Posts

Dave, stock GTS-t Type M power is 215ps (160kw), so the pod and muffler prolly add 5kw or so... it's anyones guess. My top end isn't too shabby though, so I might get you there.

So, on paper, that's at least 20PS up on me...I might pull away for the first 50m's or so, the extra 500 cc's helping me out, but once your turbo spools up you'll be sailing past me :D

of course, if I run without the tailpipe baffle in, my top end power is up...but the bottom end torque all but disappears...still, I could win by deafening everyone! :D

:D

How's about a tow rope between the Evo and the GT-V...would that be cheating? :D :D ;)

Nah...I'll be OK. There's no straight roads around here, all mountains passes and twisties, so while you guys have the quicker cars, I've got the home-field advantage :D :D :D

Hey mate! Love those mirrors. Always wanted some but I am a sucker for my folding power mirrors! :rant:

And those wheels are hardcore. Anyone who knows Regamasters will know that these are perhaps the lightest wheels on the market out there and it's just a bonus that they happen to look cool too.

Justin, if I still had the factory airbox like you do, I would have converted it to enclose the pod.

The one I have now is a WRC airbox, but look through the books I passed to you...I'm sure you should be able to find some airboxes in there.

Are we competing...I maybe leading but your car is still lighter, more so when your carbon bonnet goes on...yikes!

I don't actually think you can convert the factor air box to enclose the pod easily...or can you?

Perhaps you could accomodate a smaller pod, but I was suggesting returning it back to a panel filter with a CAI. I would if I could but I went with a WRC straight induction box. Pods IMO don't make that much of a difference.

Alot of the Super Taikyu Evos are running with the factory airbox and making 410ps/50kgm from the factory setup (std internals, turbo, cams, manifold, surge tank, I/C, etc) with only an aftermarket computer, larger fuelpump, front pipe and exhaust. Course they are super light...completely stripped interior.

Thanks... errr... Justin! :)

When we were at Autobacs, Evo_Lee gave my Regamasters the "one arm test" and gave them the thumbs up.... they *must* be light...;)

    • Yes, but 2 things of the top of my head, 1. Legalities of nitrous on a street car. 2. No chop chop. I fully understand that there's much cheaper ways to make power, and whilst a wet 50 shot is fairly cheap to install, bottle fills are expensive, and bottles always need to be refilled, and nitrous also has its own inherent issues with reliability, and tuning, from my experience of others using nitrous, it doesn't take alot to lunch a engine real quick if something goes slightly wrong when spraying, if I wanted a big chunk of additional powers, a spooly boy would make alot more sense, disregarding the additional engineering, supporting mods and other logistical issues of sticking a spooly boy on a car that came naturally aspirated from factory  In the end I'm not racing for sheep stations, and I don't really care if people make more power, or are faster than me, or spend less, or more than me, the only thing the car needs to do is drive around and make me smile, which it is doing now Really, I just want a shiny new intake to look at when I'm cleaning the engine bay, and of course, some more induction doorts, and maybe even that 5kw for that elusive 200hp cherry on top that I might get If the FAB9 intake plenum, TB and air filter box thing doesn't eventuate for whatever reason, Plasmaman do one, not as fancy looking, and a fair chunk of more cash is required when including the TB and other bits and pieces that are required to install it, but, it is another option that is available to me if FAB9 one does fall down (but I really, really.....really, want the FAB9 one though) TL;DR. You want what you want
    • Been so long since I have been here,seeing SDU is dead. I had that problem on my gtr in 2006 but luckily there was no engine damage,it was inspected by Hytech Engines,race bearings and extended crank collar put in and that was about it. Hopefully yours is sorted now.
    • Would it not be cheaper to just spray nitrous?
    • I've got cash, it's the NA LOLS I'm after now Plus, I've had a few boosted cars, and it is soooo easy to turn a reliable car into a unreliable drivetrain eating money pit monster by just paging up and chasing more My power goal for the NC is to try for a reliable naturally aspirated 150kw or 200hp atw (I'm old, and the old naturally aspirated cherry of 100hp per litre is a goal that I would like to hit), no more is really needed for what I use the car for,  so a additional 5kw is what I'm chasing now,  that 5kw is about $3k away, I think....
