Very Nice I have read quite a bit about them. They were one of the places I contacted when looking for mine. Definitely a hassle free option. Was it very difficult to get it titled in NY?

Sorry been off the site for a bit. No it wasn't too hard. The worst part is the VIN # not being 17 characters so they need a visual of it being on the car. Just had to email the DMV a pic as I was in line lol

Hey all,

Been a long time forum member and recently moved to NYC. Owned an R32 GTR V-Spec back in Australia since the early 2000's, unfortunately had to let it go to move here. Good to see these beats starting to turn up in the US, hopefully I can move somewhere a bit more car friendly than Manhattan in the near future and pick one up.

I know I posted the standard intro thread elsewhere, but since this is the states thread, lol, here's my info:

I live in the Phoenix Arizona Metro area.

Cars I own:

'90 TH1 Skyline GTR

'96 S14 (New Track Car)

'92 S13 (Old Track Car, going to brother in a couple weeks)

'96 P10 with an SR20VE swap (Daily that needs a little care to be a daily again)

'01 GMC truck (super exciting)

'57 Lincoln Premiere Sedan. (Sitting in a field waiting for attention)

Have to revive this dead thread to see if there are any other American Skyline owners.  I'm American and currently living/stationed in Japan.  I bought a 1995 Skyline R33 GTR with ~36,000 km on it!  Only mods on it are a Blitz intake system, some 18 inch work emotion rims, a MoMo Steering Wheel, a HKS turbo Timer, and a 3 inch cat back exhaust.   I'm in Japan until 2020, so the car will be 25 years old by the time Ieave Japan and I can bring it back to states.  Current parts I'm currently planning on is some spit fire coil packs, a 3' high flow cat, and a 3 in. front dump pipe as well.  After that I will add some HKS hyper max suspension to give it the drop it desperately needs.  I will most likely replace the Bltiz air filters with either HKS or Apexi.  I don't like the metal mesh design of the blitz.  Here are some pics:

I am here from Southern California,

As for your car I love it! I am hoping to add a BNR33 to my collection in the next few years. My BNR32 came from jdm expo also.

What's going on guys, joined a few days ago looking for suggestions and answers to a lot of questions pertaining to my R32

Backstory is I bought an 1990 Skyline GTS-T. All is great and wonderful until I found it was an FR chassis, checked the ECU it was an R31 and the wiring was a rat's nest from hell at the ECU, TCM and under the fuse box in the engine bay. 

Fast forward to two days ago, I finished ripping out the entire interior, purchased a new chassis harness for a GTS-T and ran everything. Looks good so far. Now I'm waiting on the GTS-T engine harness and transmission harness to finish the project and move onto the interior.

Down the road (6 months or so) I'm planning on dropping an RB25DET NEO with A/T trans. The challenge then will be the wiring (RB20 chassis harness + RB25 engine harness + RB25 ECU). Though that's another nightmare waiting to happen, the plan might be (worst case) to just find a wrecked R34 and get the chassis harness from there and hope to god it all works lol.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
