I would like to state my progression into the magical world of Skyline ownership!!

I pick my new baby up on saturday...

Im the first Australian owner ... and the previous owner even left doilies on the seats!! i think old people owned it lol ... its a HR32 GTS-T 4dr and it only came into the country 3 weeks ago (supposedly) (i put a message on the fast track forum ... hopefully the info is correct)

I think it runs 7psi ... atleast that what the stock guage says .... but im so excited and i cant wait!!!

Also it only cost me $9500 from a dealer with a 2 year warranty (even if the warranty amounts to rubbish!)

I only really have 1 question ... this is my first turbo car .... how long should i idle it down ?? 30secs? 1 min? also how much is a turbo timer and how much to fit it? or is it easily fitted at home?

Thanks for the info in advance :laughing-smiley-014:

yes..another welcome to the 4 door club! Looks nice and clean. Priority would be to get it insured and also a decent alarm/immobiliser. Then you can go on with a nice set of wheels, exhaust, ECU, new turbo, FMIC, etc etc hahahah..you get my drift....the mod bug will soon bite you hard :P

Seeing as you are in QLD, get in contact with Chris Rogers on this forum if you need an honest mobile installer who will do a good job at a good price!

Awsome thanks heaps for the tip.

Recommendations on an alarm and price? im hoping to get a turbo timer and alarm that are friendly etc also the alarm needs to be all entry point and immobilisor if possible..

So much work and so little time.. and i havent got the car yet lol ...

I wish next saturday would hurry up!!

Congratulations mate!! Welcome to the world of Skylines and Turbos... mate... 1 minute is a good turbo timer time if you've had a good run... if not, then just 30 seconds is fine...

Moreover, with turbos remember to let it warm up for at least 1 minute before you jet off...

Laterz,

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
