all of the above and the fact that he called it a "Baby Godzilla"....

yeah well that should deter anyone.....

what a joke

Non-turbo R32s can't be imported under SEVS - they don't meet minimum power/weight ratios.

is that a

No turbo, blue/white GT badges would denote this also...

wowz0rs

so all non-turbo GTS model skylines came with these badges ? ?

far out, when i first saw the listing and looking at the pictures, I was even convinced that because it has the hks hi-powah exhaust and stickers, that of course it was a turbo ! some poor not-quite-as-cluey sucker would easily fall for what's promised in the purchase.

damn dodgy kents. :)

The plumbing in the engine bay got me thinking... Maybe this is one of those fabled HKS "seperate from induction" turbo kits, thought I best ask the very informed seller, does anyone know what the GAS stands for in all the Chassis codes he quotes??? Do JDM R32s come with NOS???

dodgy!!

have seen 33's like this - 32's were a no no.

anyone note no chassis number listed on the auction?

thats the dead givaway to me. they do have something to hide.

This bloke appears genuine, I am certainly happy with his response to my enquiry, I am going to bid 11ty billion

Hey mate just wondering where the turbo and intercooler fit between the airbox and the throttle body??? Normally the induction setup would come out of the airbox, into the turbo, then forward into the intercooler, after which it would come back to the throttle body. Or is the turbo and intercooler a HKS "seperate from induction system setup" Have heard these are very powerful.

A: G'day, I do not know detail of after market parts on engine. A lot of peoples are saying this car was not Turbo but as Nissan Manufacture's production data said this car was fitted with RB20DET engine. However I happy to known we have a lot of Skyline expertise in Australia. For buyer, he or she will receive E-HCR-32 or R32 Single Turbo engine RB20DET original stock car product from Nissan Company and not from back yard garage. Thank you very much for your questions.

    • There are certain tasks, like replacing head gaskets, where it is very much best to already know what you are doing, and if you are not already an expert, then the next best thing is to have an expert around to help it get done. Little annoying checks and steps that are easy to forget or not interpret the results of properly, etc etc. It is hard to convey that to someone as a lesson prior to taking on a job, because there can be a whole list of "if you see this then it means that", or "if this is what you find then you will need to do these other 4 steps first". All the little bits of knowledge around sealant choice (ie, sealant at all? or no sealant? sealant only in certain parts of the gasket? sealant for this type of gasket but not that type of gasket? etc etc) cleanliness checks and methods, surface straightness and finish checks and methods, etc etc, all combine to mean that people who have done many of the same type of job will struggle less to get a good result than someone who hasn't done it before. I've been around this stuff since forever. But I will still consult with my expert(s) before taking on the big stuff with higher risk profile.
    • Well if I end up having to do the head gasket I will certainly find the necessary tools and instructions before beginning... Let's hope it won't come around.   Definitely. Depends on the job but I think "if you want it done right, do it yourself" applies almost every time
    • Can you at least move to a location without so many ladders, black cats and mirrors precariously propped up ready to be knocked down? Or buy yourself a 1 ton bulker bag of salt to drag around with you. Just, you know, sling it over your shoulder?
    • Meh, what's the worst that can happen? If is is supposed to have a washer, and: the spring retainer seals reasonably well on the surface, maybe just allowing a little bleed of oil out, and the spring does not coil bind when compressed that little extra bit, then the end result will be slightly higher relief pressure setpoint, and no other noticeable effects.
    • Weirdly I see a flat washer on aftermarket pumps but as you said it doesn't seem like new OEM pumps have it. EPC doesn't break out the regulator as a separate component either. I'm guessing if the pump came that way it's safe to use as-is.
