Yes, I have searched - but didn't find exactly all the stuff I wanted to know. So:

1) What is (more or less) max boost for standard RB20 Turbo ?

2) Will R33 FMIC piping work with RB20 or is the pipework different orientation ?

3) Is the front/dump pipe of an R32 same as an R33 ?

4) Is the R32 4door exhaust (cat back) the same length and orientation as a 2 door version ?

5) Is the GTS-4 suspension (front and rear) same as a GTS-t or GTR or neither ?

6) Can you disable front wheel drive ina GTS-4 same as GTR (by pulling a fuse , which one)

7) Will adjustable exhaust cam gear give same benefits as RB25DET at 4 deg retard ?

8) Is the exhaust cam gear same as RB25DET ?

9) Is the AFM in RB20DET same as RB25DET - and will Z32 AFM help with increased resolution ?

10) Is it worthwhile getting RB20 turbo hiflowed with new (steel) wheels ? At what cost ? Or is it simply better/less cost to get a 2nd hand HKS 2430

11) Is the RB20DET and RB25DET exhaust manifold the same ?

12) Is mounting a FMIC on the R32 similar to the R33 ? Do you need to shave the front bar ?

13) What can max power the GTS-4 gearbox handle ?

14) Does GTS-4 come with LSD at the rear ?

15) Is the rear diff same as a GTR (ie R200) ie if I found an R200 locker would it bolt up ?

16) Who does R32 ECU re-chips / how much ? Is it better to just get an SAFC / Fuel Controller ? I know this doesn't adjust timing - but was thinking the cam gear could take care of this for moderate power. (AP Eng PFC too expensive for an R32 - bad cost/benefit for the value of the car)

17) With GTS-4 do the same tyre width on all 4 wheels apply - like GTR ?

18) What is safe power (rwkw) for standard internals ?

19) What sort of brakes are on the front of a GTS-4 , I think 2 pot - Will the R33 4 pots bolt on ? What size discs ?

Sorry for all the questions , some might be rudimentary I guess....

Thanks in advance Roy - for your help on these (as I know you will know all the answers - he he)

1) What is (more or less) max boost for standard RB20 Turbo ? - 14psi

2) Will R33 FMIC piping work with RB20 or is the pipework different orientation ? - drivers side return pipe is different

4) Is the R32 4door exhaust (cat back) the same length and orientation as a 2 door version ?- 4 door is slightly longer

5) Is the GTS-4 suspension (front and rear) same as a GTS-t or GTR or neither ?-gtr i believe

8) Is the exhaust cam gear same as RB25DET ?-yes, inlet adj. cam gears are good as there is no vvt i think....?

9) Is the AFM in RB20DET same as RB25DET - and will Z32 AFM help with increased resolution ?-cubes is using a series 1 r33 i believe, and a z32 can be used as well...

10) Is it worthwhile getting RB20 turbo hiflowed with new (steel) wheels ? At what cost ? Or is it simply better/less cost to get a 2nd hand HKS 2430-previous owner of my car had this done, and it cost roughly $1100. It just made ~218rwkw @ 1.1bar recently on a tune

11) Is the RB20DET and RB25DET exhaust manifold the same ?- yes

12) Is mounting a FMIC on the R32 similar to the R33 ? Do you need to shave the front bar ? - yes

16) Who does R32 ECU re-chips / how much ?- Dr Drift...on these forums

I hope i got most of those right :cheers:

3) Pretty certain they are the same.

5) Same as GT-R

6) Yes

13) I'm running 180 Awkw through the stock gearbox

14) Viscous LSD, I believe

17) YES

19) 4-spotters front, 2-spots rear, probably the same as R33. A set of slotted rotors doesn't hurt.

    • Breather for it. If it's anything like the GTRs it should run up to the top of a bellhousing bolt.
    • What basics? With these OBD1 ECUs it's not like the ECU will give you any real clues, it's not really doing any sanity checking of sensors/sensor data. My experience is actually a lot of sensors tend to be the source of the issue first and foremost, and checking everything gives you a direction to investigate. MAF/O2/STFT/LTFT should all kind of make sense. You can try little tricks of the trade like tapping the MAFs to see if it triggers a stumble, things like that. But once you've done a compression test knowing whether you have an air leak or fuel delivery problem is kind of hard to narrow down without sensor data. And you don't really know if all your sensors are making sense unless you can interrogate the ECU directly about what it's seeing for sensor data.
    • Absolutely this. Yes, except not vacuum hose. Something oil/fuel safe is a better idea.
    • Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?
    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage.
