Towards the end of the year, I am hoping to import a 4-door turbo r32. I have been told by a dude at J-Spec Imports:

...all of this basically means that you will either have to wait until May

2003, or apply for SEVS approval for the R32 sedan and then find a

compliance holder that can already do R32 coupes that might be able to add

the sedan as a variant.

Anyone know who I could turn to for such a task?

At the moment I can't afford a new car, but I would like to do all the research etc now so that when I can afford it I can get straight into it.

Thanks

There are already some R32 sedans running around, but these were imported before the laws changed in May this year.

If you look at the current list of approved vehicles, you will clearly see that the R32 is allowed only as a coupe:

SEVS ruling - Nissan Skyline R32

...compared to the R33 Skyline ruling:

SEVS ruling - Nissan Skyline R33

This means that if you really want to import an R32 sedan you would NEED to get it approved under the SEVS scheme (which shouldn't be too hard) and then get a workshop to comply it for you ... for a workshop to be able to do this they must either put in an application to import a test vehicle for this model under the new RAWS scheme which will start in May 2003, or already have R32 coupe compliance and apply to extend their CPA number to inlclude sedans.

i saw the thread about the one for sale

I am interested in it, however i dont have the money for it yet. I wanted to do some research on r32 4 doors now so that when i have my cash i can get the best deal.

I also hear that insurance is a major bitch on skylines for people under 25, so if it's too high then I wont get one for a more years

      Yes. All of this. But even when you get the NOx as low as you can go on an RB, it will no doubt still be way too high. Same with CO and HCs. The tech and the tuning time just isn't there.

      Boxes of oil?

      Dang. I love the little 'oil used' bingo card on the side.   🤣  Well, now they can use a box and an oil-filled goon.

      Many many moons ago, I was chatting with Andy Wyatt, about his auto ignition tuning. One of the HUGE things he said to me, when tuning for power, right where you hit peak ignition timing for your max torque, dramatically increases NOx emissions. He was finding in testing, particularly on engines you could advance timing beyond peak torque, that backing the ignition timing off a couple of degrees only made for a small drop in torque (compared to if you keep backing it off further the same amount of degrees) but dramatically reduced NOx emissions. I'd say targetting for 14.7, and he's even mentioned in some scenarios going slightly leaner, and pulling a few degrees of IGN timing will help pass for emissions quite a lot. However, who tunes an RB for emissions

      The main stuff from.Vibrant I see is more their intercooler piping, and everyone raving about their clamps, but when I looked it was about $150 per clamp... I was a bit   I also thought the public price SP had up was high. As Mark said, a normal exhaust shop can fab them. It was many years ago that I had a full exhaust built, but for a full turbo back exhaust, and 2 custom built mufflers, plus a high flow cat, was about $1,100, and that was fully installed, drive in, drive out. I believe SP was about $900 for 2 mufflers, just supplied   These days, I just buy the material and built it myself, because I need to stretch my $$$
