Hey all my name is Danny I'm from ACT and this is somewhat a build thread on my 32 Skyline. (its 2 in the morning and i have nothing better to do lol.) I will attach all of the photos from when I got it to date.

At the time when I was on my Ls a couple of my mates drove Skylines and I've wanted one as a child so I was on the search for one as soon as I got my Provisionals in April 2012. Around August 2012 I found a 240rwkw R32 (deathwish) with just under 100,000kms on it (my mind exploded for the price it was going for.) So I made the call, had a look, and bought it 4 months after getting my Ps. With little to no knowledge (was too keen for my first "real" car.) It had problems here and there that I was unaware of, main ones were the gearbox; it whines but was told it was the 2way diff and it had an exhaust leak but I didn't realize how bad the leak was until I took it to PowaTone. I thought these weren't a big issue at the time and drove it for a couple months without doing anything about it (noob.) Overall it was a clean car and I can't complain about the price I got it for, but if I could go back I'd probably buy something thats not as modified as this so I'd have the satisfaction of doing the mods and watching the power grow from stock.

After little progress pulling it apart we gave up and I got it towed to PowaTone exhaust centre in Fyshwick to let the guys there do the rest of the work. Found out the manifold studs were on the wrong way round and was warped about 6mm so I got that machined along with a custom 3" catback system made up cause the old system was munted from scraping..

All these photos are in a span of just about 9 months and so far its been sitting in the driveway since I got defected back in Feb earlier on in the year, right now I'm in the process of returning the car back to somewhat legal. I'm planning to keep the car as stealth as I can.
Tuned sometime in 2011 at Powertune in Sydney and made around 240rwkw on 20.5 psi with full boost at 4,500rpm (LAG.)

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable 
    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
