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.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..

      You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.

      Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
