Hello Everyone,

I used to visit this forum a lot back when I had an R33 in 2005/6. I sold the R33 in 2007 and brought an XR6 Turbo ute which is my luxury work ute.

I will now be a regular visitor to this forum again as I have recently purchased an R32 with an Rb25 engine. It is good to get behind the wheel of a Skyline again. My honest opinion is that the R32 I just purchased is better than sex.

Cheers and see you ppls around town

About a month and a half between posts, essentially this thread a microcosm of the NT.

There would be a lot more than 20 skylines in the territory wouldn't there?

I mean even I have a black r32 gtst, that everyone seems to hate? (probably because it is stock apart from rims)

Yeah, I was looking at getting a Aluminium radiator.

But the sad story is my car is auto *heavy heavy shame*

So I would have to run a transmission cooler separately and have to find some place to mount it,

That and I could only find Davies Craig coolers.

Unless there is a better way?

Any ideas except the obvious manual conversion :) ?

Anybody up there interested in a few R32 GTR parts I have lying around

Factory camshafts

ABS unit

HICAS computer and various HICAS bits

Factory ECU

DBA4000 series slotted rotors - nearly new

Factory coils

Bilstein shocks with King low springs

Let me know soon as the car goes in the container on the 16th of this month and I will chuck it in the boot otherwise I will bin it.

Anything else you may need for a Skyline let me know as I can get most bits easily and will chuck it in the boot B4 the car goes in the container.

Yeah the gtt has a semi auto with toggle buttons on the wheel to change gears. there is a bit of a lag when changing gears and automatically changes down if you forget to so it doesn't stall, that said i don't use the semi-manual too often. I think the one in the city is a rb25de Neo without a turbo and thats probably the only reason it hasn't sold

Ohh and BTW where can u get HKS products in Darwin, am getting one installed.

(Posted earlier but skylines australia crashed)

That's a pretty good price for an 80mm radiator, but I don't think there is enough room between the front of the engine fan and radiator, not to mention the auto predicament. Thanks for the link :3some:

    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all. 
    • Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
    • Ah, to clarify if the car has already been tuned and has been modified and you want to go from a oem cat to a 100 cell or decat or vice versa.Are you saying that the car doesn't need to be tuned after a cat change if it's already been tuned?
    • This has been covered a bazillion times but google wet boiling point vs dry. Motul is only good when it's fresh, once it absorbs moisture it gets pretty average very quickly. So as above, make sure you change it if you're going racing. I run the Endless brake fluid in mind, but only because a mate is a distributor and it's cheap. It's not quite as good as SRF but I'm running 380mm rotors on a Skyline so it's not like they get hot.
