1971 Skyline, rebuilt to GT-R specs using genuine GT-R components. I reckon she looks pretty hot, even if it is only a replica. It's almost R34 GTR money (wait a few weeks for the R34 to devalue another $20,000 or so and it will be!), but I reckon it's far cooler, far sexier, will hold it's value far better, get more admiration from the right people, less admiration from the wrong people and not attract too many coppers. Yeah, I want one! So, what would you take? This or an R34 GTR?

Do you think it would still look this good in the Australian outback? It just looks so at home on those mountain roads! It'd also be nice to see a little more of the interior...

I'd take a real KPGC10 over an R34 GTR anyday. That said I'd rather buy a GT-X and retrofit it with newage skyline gear.

When we came across this one in the office we ooh'd and aaaah'd for a while, and agreed that we'd all love to see it in our garages. Its about as good as a GT conversion's gonna get. Genuine KPGC10's cost about the same as an R34 GTR V Spec :D

I just love how there's an R32 and a <edit:S30> in the background in a couple of the pics.

Damn nice car. It's not rebuilt to "GT-R Specs" though, it "just" has the GT-R look. I dare say it has a fair bit more power than an original GT-R :P heh heh

A good price for all the goodies you're getting!! This over an R34 any day of the week thanks.

For people in the know, what exactly does the $7,500 go towards?? I thought there wouldn't be much to do for a 30yr old vehicle in regards to compliance.

P.S. That's an S30 not a Kenmeri.

Awesome! For me, as cool as an original one is, I'd have no interest in a fragile, irreplaceable and gutless 160hp 2 litre (even if it sounds nice) when I could have a replica with everything else and a thumping 3.1+ L motor.

And yeah I'd probably rather have that and a HR31 GTS-R, instead of an R34 GT-R.

The breakdown goes a lil something like this:

J-Spec Fee: $1000

Shipping: $1800

GST: $4700

THere's no compliance (in Victoria) or import duty necessary on a car that old, which is pretty cool. The large chunk of it goes to the tax man.

P.S. That's an S30 not a Kenmeri.

Damn, you pulled me up on it before I could correct myself... damn you :laugh:

We're goin with oldschool cool as a theme for now, as we've had a fair few requests for good quality restored japanese classics of late (fairlady's, celica's, C10, C110's, etc)... esp from cashed up collectors in the US. If the car is mint they're willing to pay the asking price of japanese sellers.

Good stuff. The Americans are really lapping this stuff up lately. Still don't know of any authentic GT-R in the U.S.A., but at this rate it won't be long. Be sure to let us know if something special does make its way over there (or here, as unlikely as that is).

P.S. Hyper rev group buy... damnit, no wonder my ones on ebay aren't fetching as much as they should!!! :)

When I started thinking about this I started leaning towards the R34 out of practicallity with being able to afford spare parts and because of the difference in power.

But then I started thinking of that old cartoon 'Speed Racer' and I thought this car would best suit that cartoon so I'm going with this oldskool machine.

That's a strange comparison. Why are you quoting the power figure for a totally standard S20 when the L28-based engine in the car in question is so highly modified? Talk about comparing apples to oranges.

The S20 is hardly "fragile". It is certainly not "irreplaceable" or "gutless" either.

Have you ever driven an S20-engined car?

:P

      Crank/No Start - R32 GTR Chassis with R34 RB26

      By 89GTR_VA · Posted

      Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?

      Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below
