Hey Guys,

Long time reader, first time writer. I've just purchased my first Skyline and I couldn't be happier with it. But have a few questions I hope someone can help me with. Firstly, when I purchased the car the guy I bought it off told me this was one of only 560 units made, the nissan group-A evolution series, but on some research I found that these were produced in 1990 not 1989, does anyone know anything about this model and how to tell if it is actually one?

Also, when I switch the car off the Hicas light comes on and I can feel a small clunk which seems to be coming from near the front wheels, is this normal?

Cheers guys.

1. hicas light coming on and clunk = not normal, well at least my car does not do that...

im not sure what it would be but best get a good big service done when purchasing a gtr anyways. although if you have bought off an australian owner might be a bit of a different story.

i spend 1900 on new clutch, timing belt etc just after i bought mine, now runs sweet.

As for the group A, maybe check the VIN number on the net and see what you can find out

Cheers! Thanks for that. And yes I will check it in for service ASAP. Hope it doesn't uncover any major problems. :cheers:

Cool, thanks for that. My vin is (This is how it is written on the transfer papers) 6U9000BNR32000861.

Comes up as build date 08/89 with the model code KBNR32RXFSLMZG which is identical to my GTR. There should be some sort of badging on it whether it be inside the engine bay or on the exterior to detail if its anything different.

    • I would not replace the gauges. A well setup tune should never require any of that. I'm of the opinion that if you can't safely hand over a car to your parents to drive it's not fit for purpose and more engineering work should be done. Honestly I'm not a fan of external boost controller boxes either but if you have to you can shove the controller into the glovebox or something once it's set up. Tee it off the OEM MAP sensor. Also you probably want to put a two pin plug on the new solenoid, bolting it to the OEM location works. Just separate the wastegate line and compressor outlet so it will work on a 3 port solenoid, kevboost was walked through how to do this on an RB26, same idea just different locations on an RB25. You may have to remove the restrictor in the OEM hoses if they're still in there. 
    • Yep, it's why in Australia we never brought in the 1 child policy like China.  China can't afford to use the shit they make in their own country as it's too much to risk having only one child...  Or maybe that's how they test their shit before they send it to Australia - they use the second kid that families had when they weren't supposed to as the tester?  They weren't supposed to exist in the first place so no loss if they succumb to a work place incident?  🤣
    • It's also the reason neither Duncan or I can own a car rotisserie
    • this is the reason we have more than one child right?
    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
