I would like to state my progression into the magical world of Skyline ownership!!

I pick my new baby up on saturday...

Im the first Australian owner ... and the previous owner even left doilies on the seats!! i think old people owned it lol ... its a HR32 GTS-T 4dr and it only came into the country 3 weeks ago (supposedly) (i put a message on the fast track forum ... hopefully the info is correct)

I think it runs 7psi ... atleast that what the stock guage says .... but im so excited and i cant wait!!!

Also it only cost me $9500 from a dealer with a 2 year warranty (even if the warranty amounts to rubbish!)

I only really have 1 question ... this is my first turbo car .... how long should i idle it down ?? 30secs? 1 min? also how much is a turbo timer and how much to fit it? or is it easily fitted at home?

Thanks for the info in advance :laughing-smiley-014:

yes..another welcome to the 4 door club! Looks nice and clean. Priority would be to get it insured and also a decent alarm/immobiliser. Then you can go on with a nice set of wheels, exhaust, ECU, new turbo, FMIC, etc etc hahahah..you get my drift....the mod bug will soon bite you hard :P

Seeing as you are in QLD, get in contact with Chris Rogers on this forum if you need an honest mobile installer who will do a good job at a good price!

Congratulations mate!! Welcome to the world of Skylines and Turbos... mate... 1 minute is a good turbo timer time if you've had a good run... if not, then just 30 seconds is fine...

Moreover, with turbos remember to let it warm up for at least 1 minute before you jet off...

Laterz,

      Yeah, you are right. It seems easier and more reasonable to boost the engine. And as you said the blocks are very similar but the cylinder bores are different.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Sound logic, but in actuality way more illegal than just having the wrong pipe. Normally, doing something like that would be forgery. Meaning you may have certain documentation for vehicle parts, but the actual parts are different ones and you just assign them the numbers and badging from the documents. But nevermind that. Nonetheless, I AM curious if this pipe was ever made by any official manufacturer this way, because I honestly am not familiar with this pipe layout and shape. As I will be putting on the HKS Silent Hi Power once my exhaust gaskets arrive, as long as it sounds right I will just roll with this front pipe. I can always order the actual Mines part if I run into legal issues. It would be an unnecessary expense as there is lots of other problems I have on this car as of now.

      So, weld a plate with the Mines logo laser cut into it, onto it. Instant Mines pipes, whether they were or weren't originally.

      I don't know if the blocks are "the same". They will be very very similar. Obviously, either the bore or the stroke is going to be bigger on the 20. If the bore is bigger, then the 18 head is unlikely to fit properly. If the bore is the same, then you can almost certainly fit the CA18 head, but there migth be a few fun things you have to do to make water galleries (or other things) line up properly. Or... it could just be real easy. Is it worth the effort? Almost certainly not. You can make nearly as much power on a 2 valv ehead as you can on a 4 valve. There's not any "magic" in a 4 valve head.
