Omg that 180sx with a R32 front end looks shockingly ugly

One of my sisters friends about a week ago, inherited an R33 Skyline after 1 week on his P plates, came out of maccas, put foot to the floor, lost control, smashed into the opposite side curb and bent his rear axle. Goes to show that first time P platers shouldn't be given high performance cars as first cars. Sticking with the good ol' lasers and civics as first cars would be a smart idea and would also save you big bucks in the end.

Hey i'm in the process of importing an 89' R32 Four Door GTS-T Skyline and while I think i'm pretty prepared for getting it on the road and running, I haven't the slightest clue about what needs to be done to the vehicle to pass it over the pits. I've been told that the car 'apparently' needs to have have side intrusion bars fitted, child restrait points and a couple of other things I can't remember to be done. I've emailed a couple of places about what needs to be done but there very inconsistant with there replying. So has anyone recently gone through the process of getting an import registered or more specifically the GTS-T R32 and could tell me what possibly needs to be done to pass it through pits. Also I've never been through the pits before. Apparently it's a pretty evil place to go to.

Apparently D & T peformance exhaust are known for doing good quality work but they are a bit pricey. I work just down the road from them and we put a lot of our cars through them for exhaust, cold induction upgrade kits etc.

How expensive would it be to build a hybrid turbo from the original turbo, obviously using different compressor and exhaust turbine wheels? Would it be a bad idea to use the original housing?

Peformance wise, wouldnt it be better to have a complete plumback system wired to flow back just after the airpod? By doing that wouldn't it reduce turbo lag?

I've spent last night hours on end trying to find a R32 Engine Manual cause I heard rumors of one floating around. I managed to get my hands on the R32 GTR manual and the R33 manual but couldnt find one suitable for the RB20det. If anyone knows whether there is actually one floating around somewhere could you post up a link or another way of transfering the manual. Cheers
