Hello everyone!! I finally got myself a skyline which has been a dream car of mine for most of my life. I just got a 1992 Skyline R32 GTS-T Type M. It was kind of a show car and had a lot of things done to it but I don’t think a lot was done correctly. So me being the 25+ year technician, I am going through everything in this car to get it running and driving amazing. I don’t ask a lot of questions because I research the heck out of everything and eventually find an answer. However, if I absolutely cannot find an answer I will call upon all of you experts to assist me please. Let me know if you have any questions or whatever.

Thanks Matty! Yeah I like the purple engine bay but it doesn’t go with the red color the car currently is, I will agree with you on that. She will need a new paint job eventually because there are a lot of blemishes, body kit cracks, and other things I see as a former auto body technician that isn’t noticeable in the picture. My girlfriend really loves that purple metallic so I was considering repainting the whole car that color then the engine bay will match the car. Possibly adding some carbon fiber accents, hood, trunk, and new taller spoiler. 

Welcome to SAU. I like your car, it's cool you got your dream car. I remember the feeling. I go out and stare at my car. You may find you lose hours in your garage doing the same.

I really like your mirrors though. I'd kill for a set of Ganadors. Keep us up to date with your adventure. I like seeing what owners do with their cars. :)

Hi Steve85,

Thanks! Yeah I do get lost in time in the garage working on it and staring at it ha ha! As for the mirrors, I think they look great but they aren’t very functional because I can’t see much in them. I mirror part itself is really small.

Nice R32, it looks great, anymore pics?

:welcome:

Hi PranK,

I have some pics of her past life but no more that I have taken yet. I’m currently in the process of making her more functional and drivable. It has really over stretched tires on it right now and you can see in my picture that I posted I already raised up the ride height because it was extremely slammed and tucked. The tires are 225/40/18 on 10.5 inch wide wheels. I’m going to put 275/40/18’s on it soon. Anyway, here’s a couple pics of her past life.

I love the wheels, what's the profile on them?

I had to look them up and I found them. All it gives me is the wheel bolt pattern, and the width of the rim depending on how big the lip is. I believe I have the 10 inch wide wheels, I haven't measured yet. I will when my new tires get here though. I have attached a screenshot of them, they are on vrwheels.com and that is as much as I know right now. Well I also know that they are not cheap wheels ha ha!

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
