Hi all,

I'm new to this forum, i'm after my second car (and am a skyline n00b) and basically want the most bang for buck without spending too much. Now my question is this, I live in QLD currently and am on my P's, but will most likely be moving down to Melbourne next year for study purposes. Does anyone happen to know if any of the turbo r32s are p plate legal down there? From what I can gather a gtst or gts4 might just scrape under their power to weight ratio? Like I said, i want something with a bit of poke and plenty of potential for modifications - and a skyline seems like a great idea!

And another question seems im here - gtst vs gts4 - can someone give me some ideas as to the pros/cons of each? I'm leaning towards the gts4, but any input would be great.

Thanks in advance guys!

Dan.

You can drive a 32 Gts, Gtst or the GTS 4 one but not GTR

Btw if u got the GTST theres no room for mods otherwise you go over the power to weight ratio. :angry: as it comes in at 124.3 kw or something :S

Gtst: Looks more like a sports car but less room

Gts4: More Room but looks more looks less sporty

but it all comes down to Personal opion, search it all been asked before :)

Thanks guys! I was certain it had been covered before, but me and search function don't seem to get along :O And i thought the r32 gtst and gts4 had the same power output? Anywayz i'll go do some more searches!

I wonder then, are any of the turbo 33s p plate legal? Guess i'd better look into that!

Ciao! B)

Do you really know what you are talking about?

GTS4 does not mean it is a 4 door, it is a 4wd GTST.

Personally, i would prefer the gtst, as i think the rb20det is not torquey enough for the 4wd system and the extra weight. This is only my opinion, others may disagree

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Because there is still an engine underneath that turbo. PSI is not a measurement of power, it's a byproduct of resistance. What would be really decent is to have a CFM gauge on the output of a turbo to see how much it's actually pushing. 21psi (as an example) is not the same amount of air at 3000rpm as it is at 7000rpm, even if the boost controller is controlling boost at "21psi". The engine is inhaling and exhaling way more air at 7000 than at 3000, even if it's less efficient.

      don't want anything more or less, I don't really understand why the torque still goes up to 6000-6500, while the boost peak is around 4000. if it only comes from the cams or from the boost controller etc.

      Boost level and torque curve

      I'm not sure you understand the physics of what you are asking. Can you draw on the dyno graph what you want to have happen? I'm thinking this is a functional impossibility here, unless you chose a turbo literally so laggy that torque is at max at 7000rpm and artificially choked prior to that. Power and Torque are intrinsically linked. Power is just Torque over time. What you're really seeing in the torque graph is "Power per RPM" if that makes any sense whatsoever. You still get more power at 7000rpm than 5000rpm, because it is "power per RPM" and you have more RPM. at 7000 than you do at 5000. You still feel more powerful at 7000rpm. The torque graph will influence the rate of power increase per RPM.

      Welcome!  If possible,  would live to see some pics. How long was it away getting the work done? Hopefully it feels like a new machine.

      yes indeed the graphic format makes a visual difference but there is on average 120nm more between 4000 and 6000rpm on the curves it is not nothing. you are right, the cams influence the torque curve. I was able to chat with one of the Hypergear tuners, he confirmed that a boost control allows you to manage the pressure after the spool. the absolute pressure (psi) on the graphics is measured where? It seems that the cams affect the maximum pressure depending on the regime but I may be wrong.   not pleasant to drive before 4000? if we spend our lives between 1000 and 3000 rpm as you say then we might as well just run diesel turbos
