So i need help. I wanna put a turbo on my RB20DE N/A. Can i just put a turbo on it as is, or do i have to upgrade any thing? Or is the N/A RB20 engine exactly the same as the Turbo RB20DET? besides the turbo obviously.. Internals Ect... ?

What about this says "Rare Skyline registry" to you?

Perhaps look for areas like "Forced induction performance" or "The Wasteland" or "Search" to answer this question, it has been covered a 1001 times, always with the same asnwers.

im not sure if this is rare but ive just bought a 92 r32 gtr... the model number is odd iv searched everywhere but can't find anything its kbnr32rxfs MA the first part is good but then MA im not sure what that means. Also the car has no rear window wiper and it doesnt have the bit on the dash either so its never came with one, it also has 200 on the build plate under the MA i havnt seen it on any other build plates ive seen. heres a pic of the build plate. could anyone help me out figuring wat it is.

http://www.users.on.net/~goofyhsk/info/chassis_plate.html on this site it has 7 for GTR 8 for Vspec II and Absent for v spec and AA for GTR Vspec I and II (non N1) and ZN for the N1s. i did read on the UK forums that they first made V specs from july 1991 not sure if thats true or not.

nope, it doesnt have a Aerial on the roof, it does have n1 front bumper and side skirts both genuine plastic, and from wat i can tell the paint matches up can tell any difference and the car hasnt had a repsray, it got imported the way it is now, inless it got resprayed over there im not sure

Ok I did some consulting with a mate (forum lurker but he never posts!) who is a guru in these matters, and his theory is that MA is used for very limited trial builds (like 10 cars) of certain features they might be testing.

His reply, in part:

My memory is shot to pieces these days - but the MA either means it came with an airbag OR indicates it was part of a small batch towards the end of a production run and they were either trying out new-spec parts (and how they fitted into production line routines) or were building some cars to a set combination of options to fill a particular order.

It's definitely not an Aussie delivered one though.

i recently bought my old car back which is an aust delivered r32gtr, number 60 of 100.

my brother has an r32gtr which i can almost guarantee nobody on sau can find information on...its an 89 'scuderia' which has the scuderia dash, scuderia rear boot lid badge, scuderia compliance plate & a few other things which aligns to an aussie gtr. it is an australian delivered version as it was sold here & 1st registered in 94, it is extremely rare with only 1 of 6 (his is number 001).

he bought it off a gentleman by the name of chris smith, then went to paul whitmarsh who runs the wharf business in pyrmont & raced in the porsche cup - then my brother bought it back in 2000. under 100,000km & last registered in 2004.

apparently skaife bought 002 & 003 went to another high profile...the remaining 3 of the 6 were used for racing!

if anyone can find any other info on this 'scuderia' gtr, please share it with me :)

but still....what did actually happen to the returned cars....perhaps they turned up as prototype/MA cars too. They would have been very hard to sell in 1994 with 1991 build plates

my 91 adm gtr was 1st registered in 94.

more so, my brothers 89 scuderia gtr was 1st registered in 94 as well (showroom for 5 yrs)

here is a pic where you can see the scuderia badge on bootlid, covered in dust as its been off the road for 7 years :)

i should organise a pic of the scuderia compliance plate & scuderia dash, although, i dont think my brother is keen on releasing too many details on the car.

it is factory, apart from the wheels (which he has retained) & cat-back exhaust

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
