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

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
