Craziest import muckup yet :D

[Sarumatix]

some of you may know I recently got my heavily modified R32 4 door . Well this is all the information I was given when I bought it:

http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/au/st...sp?StockID=2784

Car has come all the way here, gone through compliance and registration etc. I finally got it tuned and dynod last week (217.5 kw at the wheels). On the sheet it was recorded as a GTS4. I thought that was a bit odd and hastily checked the model number on the plate.. RNR32 . Some how I've managed to score a 4-door gts4 with an RB26dett, but i'm not complaining . I'm wondering if i'm going to need to changing anything because i assumed it was a gts-t all this time .

[AzzurrA]

score!

[daler32]

yea grats mate nicely done :drooling:

[V8skylineMAN]

it says in the condition report...just under the parts list...."front driveshaft assy just been replaced" that didnt make u think summin was up?

gts-t 's dont have front driveshafts......but hey

[Col-GTSX]

[nmcmahon83]

it says under mods RB26DETT... the cam wheel cover also says RB26...

maybe i missed something in the original post...

[usuckpoo]

Damn thats a steal for 12.5k i reckon!

talk abt bang for buck! 217kw....12.5k!!!!

[OohArrGTR]

i think ive missed something here ?? what u bought it thinking there was a Rb20 in it ?? but it says rb26 in the mods? and u can see the engine??

You obviously have not pushed this car very hard, you'd know if it was AWD or RWD fairly quickly I wouldve thought

[600ZILLA]

He got it here and it was a 4wd not 2wd. He always knew it was an RB26DETT, I hope anyhow

Definitely Bang for Buck !! good work.

[OohArrGTR]

oh stupid me.. yeah nice work! Wanna sell it?? hehe.. Yeah as soon as you pushed it abit im sure you would ahve to relise its awd...

[seraphyn_r33]

haha some people have all the luck........

[usuckpoo]

If u had any money set aside for mods, spend it on braces ...tink you r gonna need em

[pentae]

I thought the part on the page where it said "~ RB26DETT ENGINE CONVERSION ~" and "1989 Nissan Skyline R32 Gts-t 4-door sedan with 2.6 litre RB26DETT engine upgrade"

would have given it away?

But yeah good score, congratulations.

[Morgs]

How does that title give away that its a GTS4?

[usuckpoo]

[pentae]

Ahh right, I thought he was suprised it was putting out so much power (ie the rb26dett!)

Yes, that is a big bonus

[benm]

So how is the condition?

I mean are you happy with the condition compared with the pics/info you received when purchasing it?

[Sarumatix]

Yeah the car was reaally tidy actually, only a few tiny traces of rust on the underside where it has been jacked up and one panel not finished properly. It all worked out to be surprisingly close to the estimated cost, although people interested in doing it should definately be aware there are still a fair number of expenses which are expected (like rego and insurance). Definately suggest people budget a few extra thousand over the estimated cost if they want their car on the road within a week or two of it arriving. The car doesn't need anymore braces, it has one in the boot, one in the engine bay (obviously) and one on the underside, very rigid to drive. A couple of things made me start wondering if it really was a gts4 but obviously you'd expect to get a gts-t if you bought a gts-t. the first and most obvious was the AWD light and front torque meters on the dash. But then the car is pretty heavily modified so I assumed they just put a gtr dash in there for fun . It seems obvious in hindsight, but i'm not a skyline expert (heck my car is the first skyline i've driven ). 2 nights ago my mate (who owns a silvia) and I were discussing how different it felt when pushed, especially around corners and that prompted me to check the model number . It was really the first opportunity to push the car a bit but yeah even I could tell something was very different . And yeah anything listed on the mods I obviously knew about , kicking myself about the front drive assembly note though hehe.

But yeah I consider myself realllly lucky with this car , also came with a carbon fibre bonnet which wasn't listed. Some more pictures if you are interested:
