I was the first intruder into the club that didn't own a skyline or any other Nissan badged car when I first paid up. Don't worry about it too much, as long as you have an appreciation of the cars, then you'll be fine.
Still sounds like oil seal in the turbo. My 20 turbo did the seals. You couldn't see the oil in the housing though. I threw on a 25 and the problem went away. The old turbo still boosted fine and had no shaft movement either. Do a compression test too.
I have a soft spot for the 200zr's. I flew interstate to buy one but it had endless issues, such a pity really. I still should have bought it.........
33driver, those front lights are from the non Californian. I keep an eye out for some locally.
It's not unusual to see plain clothes po-po in hipo debadged cars. Locally there is a dark blue XR6 turbo with the badges removed, with no visible lights on the dash or rear parcel shelf. Has the aerials and a unit bolted to the dash that is near the steering wheel.
A few times I have seen it with a uniform driving and 2 plain clothes in the rear. Always the same guys. They used to sit in our court and watch the happenings in the court across the way.
