Heya Fellas.

Ok there are alot of people with R32 GTRs on the forum and I wanted to know your thoughts on the factory R32 GTR rear wing ... on or off ?

Also I have been asking alot of people about BOVs for the RB26 and I keep getting mixed answers. Do really I need to buy 2 Bovs or can I just fit 1.

Thanks guys,

D

Daaaamn! Thanks guys, I will leave it on yeah I guess thats what really makes the Gtr look.

and about the Bovs well I can leave the stocks on I guess but a friend is getting rid of his HKS Sequential Bov and wants like $150 its in good nick.. just wondering if I can use just one or not.

Also does anyone know of any nice skirts and rear pods to fit the R32 GTR. oh and not too hard to find in Oz.?? I'm thinking of getting some from "carmate" for $550 I thought that was cheap is it?

I wouldn't replace the twin factory BOVs with one HKS one. The GTR HKS kit has two BOVs. if you want them just get that. The only GTR kit i've seen with just one is the trust Type R kit and that is one BIG BOV.

It all dpends if the car is going to be kept near stock,

i have seen a couple o "autostyle" cars with the wing removed and just the nismo lip thats looks nuts but i reckon then you need to have buig dished wheels and the car pretty low

my 2 cents

there is no doubt that the rear wing needs to be removed and a nismo lip fitted. Definetly larger aftermarket wheels, (18inch BBS LM wheels look AWSOME!!)

There are a few 450+ rwkw GTR's going around melb with standard 33 GTR BOV's. They work fine, no leakage (and they are STANDARD EQUIPMENT which helps get around defect issues)

I am having the boot holes deleted and fitting a new nismo-tyle lip spoiler.  

This is my car before it was shipped to Aus and before the damage to it:

is the lip you have on it now a geunine GTR one that can be fitted along with the OEM spoiler ?

    • I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.
    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
