Hi guys im new this forum and just bought my first skyline. i got an 1998 R32 GTS-t with a high flow turbo, walbro fuel pump, 3inch exsurst with a high flow cat, coilovers and a few other bits. It has a little rust which i am getting removed and it dosnt like to idle very steady but other then that i cant complain. ive never owned a car like it which brings me to ask some pretty stupid questions. I just want to know are all skylines imported or are just some. Mine has a blue plate under the hood near the VIN number but half of it is japenese well i think it is anyways.

All R32s are except for the 100 ADM GTRs they sold from 91-93.

It would take weeks to cover every model, google is your friend.

Oh yeah, don't know of any 98 model R32s. Maybe when it was complied?

As said above, neary every 32-34 skyline bar less than 100 were imported.

They stopped making the r32 GTS-T in 1993. The year 1998 on anything would be the year imported. It should say what year the car was manfactured on that blue plate with Japanese on it, that's the build plate.

The idle issues can be a number of things as they're all 20+ years old these days. I currently have the same problem going on. A quick google search will come up with people's similar problems and some possible solutions for you.

If you have any questions about it don't hesitate to post in the appropriate section. This is sub-forum is for people creating threads directly relating to the importation or related process of vehicles, not about imports themselves as the majority of the site is based around imports.

Welcome and enjoy the world of Skyline ownership. Look after your car and it will look after you.

      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.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      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.
