Gday, I am 19 and pretty new to the import scene, but a while ago i imported a black 1993 r32 gtr with 61 questionable kms on the clock. when it arrived at the docks they ran it out of fuel, which some how made the computer freak out and melt something inside. so got it towed home and had it sitting around for a bit until i took it to jasmac where it was fixed and tuned. I picked it up one late afternoon when it was dark and wet and drove it home carefully on the snow tiers. That night i drove it to work cos i had my permit to drive it there. As i was driving it home it decided to die. zero oil pressure, engine stalling and the worst knock you could imagine. Got my mate to tow me home, and thats where the car has been sitting the last few months. Have been saving and think i might now take it to the mechanics to get a proper diagnoses and tell me what my options are.

Anyway here are some pics.

hope you like :)

    • Yeah, you are right. It seems easier and more reasonable to boost the engine. And as you said the blocks are very similar but the cylinder bores are different.
    • Sound logic, but in actuality way more illegal than just having the wrong pipe. Normally, doing something like that would be forgery. Meaning you may have certain documentation for vehicle parts, but the actual parts are different ones and you just assign them the numbers and badging from the documents. But nevermind that. Nonetheless, I AM curious if this pipe was ever made by any official manufacturer this way, because I honestly am not familiar with this pipe layout and shape. As I will be putting on the HKS Silent Hi Power once my exhaust gaskets arrive, as long as it sounds right I will just roll with this front pipe. I can always order the actual Mines part if I run into legal issues. It would be an unnecessary expense as there is lots of other problems I have on this car as of now.
    • So, weld a plate with the Mines logo laser cut into it, onto it. Instant Mines pipes, whether they were or weren't originally.
    • I don't know if the blocks are "the same". They will be very very similar. Obviously, either the bore or the stroke is going to be bigger on the 20. If the bore is bigger, then the 18 head is unlikely to fit properly. If the bore is the same, then you can almost certainly fit the CA18 head, but there migth be a few fun things you have to do to make water galleries (or other things) line up properly. Or... it could just be real easy. Is it worth the effort? Almost certainly not. You can make nearly as much power on a 2 valv ehead as you can on a 4 valve. There's not any "magic" in a 4 valve head.
    • Yes, me too!!!!  I need to find a something that has all the abbreviations for what these cars have LOL
