Hmmm i dunno about those racv test's.I sold a car once and i kid you not the car was imac.Now the mew owner got a test done after he bought it.....The car was an Isuzu MU,Now they said the wastegate is jammed on the turbo charger...now if its jammed open..it get no boost..now if its jammed shut it will overboost and **** itself....now after he had it done i checked the car and the report...they said the trans had leaks...there wasnt and leak at all...there was a small amount of seepage around the rubber hoses but it wasnt leaking...and the turbocharger OMG...i hooked up a vacum gauge to the car and stuck it in park and stood on the brake and wham it went to 8psi then cracked off and held steady......they also said"essesive black smoke"I got all the stuff check by allfleet deisel services in airport west and they laughed at the report..."nothing is wrong with it"the guy said.And to top it off when the guy took it in to get tested the radio worked and when he picked it up.....it didnt.I called them and the guy that done the report wouldnt speak to me and the guy on the phone said "oh well the wastegate musthave unjammed itself" I just told them i didnt think they knew what they were doing and the guy is very upset with them coz we had it double checked and there is nothing wrong apart from the radio prob which they caused....make your own mind up but id be getting a perfomance place to check it before racv...

It's clean...completely clean. No mods. Done about 42000Ks but I figured it's been knocked back. But had my mechanic go through it and it's in A1, the trims all fine etc. Only thing is the hicas light shows up occasionally. And I hate those damn rims...I'd be quite happy to get a stock 2nd hand set if anyone wants to sell. It's got a GTR spoiler too..which kinda spoils the understated look.

I'll try and get the web space tonight to host it up. Thanks for all the advice guys!

Red32 (Ross), a friend of mine is also looking for a 32, I'll pass the message to him. Although, I think he's looking at about 15-16K too. Is your car still up for sale?

Hi guys,

Just some questions about my 32 that I'd like to ask. I'm still a newbie here, so forgive my ignorance.

1. What the heck is a Type-M? What's so different between that and a standard GTST?

2. With my fan switched on (air-con is off), I notice my revs at idle keep varying between 650-850. And the tone of the engine note is variable. However, with the air-con on, it's at 900 and it stays constant. Why is this so? Anyway I can stop the variations? Do an ECU reset?

3. Where can I find a knowledgeable skyline or nissan sportscar mechanic in Melbourne? Any recommendations?

Type M = Turbo, Type S = Non Turbo (roughly, there are the exceptions

The revs are higher coz there's more power drawn from the engine (alternator etc) when you switch the AC on. Check it out, put a stereo in and turn it on, put your demisters on, put your fog lights and headlights on and your engine tone will change. All cars do it, some just do it more noticably than others. You could stop the variations by using a 2nd batterey to operate all accessories off and using a trickling circuit to trickle charge the battery only while the car is in motion... or you could put up with the tone changes. Personally I use the tone to check what I've got on.

Trying to find one myself, but meggala recomended sum dude in Cheltenham, or there's Dean, but I dunno if he does servicing. Ask them for more details.

Actually...the revs vary when I have no aircondition on. So while it's at idle...the tone changes quite frequently. Isn't that quite disturbing :D

Will check out ICEPERFORMANCE.

The thing is...my car looks different from those with a Type M bodykit. Is there such a thing? I'd like a body kit like that...not too ostentatious :D

u can also get Type - X which was the CA18 4 cylinder engine, the Type - XG which was the RB25DE and i think thats about it...

    • Hi, does anyone know how I can, or can a moderator remove this advertisement please.  Has been sold a long time ago and would like to remove references. Thanks. 
    • There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new 
    • I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well
    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
    • Yeah 4wd (boosted) has a recess in the firewall for the booster, and 2wd is flat - the example in the link shows the flat surface. When you deleted the booster, did you just attach the factory slave cylinder directly to the recess in the firewall with no adaption?
