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???

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.

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
