I've got a few questions about the R32 GTS25. I've tried to search for info on them but have come up with very little. In fact I'm having trouble finding one for sale on the net.

1. How common are they?

2. How much do they go for? (Tried the tradinpost for an average but there weren't any)

3. How much does one weigh?

4. What gearbox is in one?

5. What speedo drive do they use, are they mechanical (like the 32) or electronic (like the 33).

6. Do they have LSDs?

7. I just need to confirm that they cannot be imported anymore under the new sevs laws, correct?

Here is what i know... others can prolly fill in the blanks

1. Pretty common. You see quite a few around. Probably less than an R33 - hard to tell, they tend to be a lot less done up with kits and the like than 33's i've noticed so probably stand out less.

2. Around 11-16k for an R32 GTS-T in melbourne.

3. Weight is 1320kg

4. Not exactly sure, but its good. Not many people have to replace their gearbox when spec'ing up their Skylines. Clutch often has to be upgraded.

5. I think they're mechanical...or was that the power steering? Anyway, not sure :P

Trading post is useless this time of year, nobody really bothers advertising. Give it a few weeks to look for other examples.

Bit of a difference between the GTSt and GTS25 predator :P

They're rare, I think i've only seen a couple on the road, and none for sale. Hence it may be hard to estimate the price, but i'd say somewhere between $12-15K. I guess they'd have the n/a RB25DE gearbox... and doubt they had an LSD (the GTS didnt).

Logically, they should be able to be imported, as they meet power to weigh ratios and so forth, same power as a R33 GTS and they can be imported...

I don't want another turbo car. I've already got one. I just want a nice car that I can drive around, to and from work thats comfortable and looks different. It gives me chance to keep the kms off the good car (the Calais). I'm not the biggest fan of the RB20, and I quite like the R32 shape. I can't afford a second turbo car atm, but would like one I can convert to turbo. I imagine that a R32 gts25 already has eletronic speedo drives etc, so it saves me some work down the track. Thats my reasoning for looking into one. If any one has some more info please let me know.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      How complicated is PID boost control? To me it really doesn't seem that difficult. I'm not disputing the core assertion (specialization can be better than general purpose solutions), I'm just saying we're 30+ years removed from the days when transistor budgets were in the thousands and we had to hem and haw about whether there's enough ECC DRAM or enough clock cycles or the interrupt handler can respond fast enough to handle another task. I really struggle to see how a Greddy Profec or an HKS EVC7 or whatever else is somehow a far superior solution to what you get in a Haltech Nexus/Elite ECU. I don't see OEMs spending time on dedicated boost control modules in any car I've ever touched. Is there value to separating out a motor controller or engine controller vs an infotainment module? Of course, those are two completely different tasks with highly divergent requirements. The reason why I cite data sheets, service manuals, etc is because as you have clearly suggested I don't know what I'm doing, can't learn how to do anything correctly, and have never actually done anything myself. So when I do offer advice to people I like to use sources that are not just based off of taking my word for it and can be independently verified by others so it's not just my misinterpretation of a primary source.

      That's awesome, well done! Love all these older Datsun / Nissans so rare now

      As I said, there's trade offs to jamming EVERYTHING in. Timing, resources etc, being the huge ones. Calling out the factory ECU has nothing to do with it, as it doesn't do any form of fancy boost control. It's all open loop boost control. You mention the Haltech Nexus, that's effectively two separate devices jammed into one box. What you quote about it, is proof for that. So now you've lost flexibility as a product too...   A product designed to do one thing really well, will always beat other products doing multiple things. Also, I wouldn't knock COTS stuff, you'd be surprised how many things are using it, that you're probably totally in love with As for the SpaceX comment that we're working directly with them, it's about the type of stuff we're doing. We're doing design work, and breaking world firsts. If you can't understand that I have real world hands on experience, including in very modern tech, and actually understand this stuff, then to avoid useless debates where you just won't accept fact and experience, from here on, it seems you'd be be happy I (and possibly anyone with knowledge really) not reply to your questions, or input, no matter how much help you could be given to help you, or let you learn. It seems you're happy reading your data sheets, factory service manuals, and only want people to reinforce your thoughts and points of view.

      I don't really understand because clearly it's possible. The factory ECU is running on like a 4 MHz 16-bit processor. Modern GDI ECUs have like 200 MHz superscalar cores with floating point units too. The Haltech Nexus has two 240 MHz CPU cores. The Elite 2500 is a single 80 MHz core. Surely 20x the compute means adding some PID boost control logic isn't that complicated. I'm not saying clock speed is everything, but the requirements to add boost control to a port injection 6 cylinder ECU are really not that difficult. More I/O, more interrupt handlers, more working memory, etc isn't that crazy to figure out. SpaceX if anything shows just how far you can get arguably doing things the "wrong" way, ie x86 COTS running C++ on Linux. That is about as far away from the "correct" architecture as it gets for a real time system, but it works anyways.
