back before the GTR was born, in the late 60's there was a car called the GT-B, which basically won the Skyline's first race in japan. It was an N/A straight 6, with 4 doors. (Pete in SA has one of these, however Marvin, runs an RB20 from memory :Phttp://www.cardomain.com/ride/547037)

Autech in collaboration with Nissan, made the Autech R32 GTB commemoration edition. True to its ancestor, this car was a 4 door straight 6 N/A. They used the R32 GTS4 chassis as its base, and the RB26 engine, with different compression etc to account for the lack of turbos, however it retained the GTR's individual throttles. The body was massaged at Autech after leaving Nissan's assembly line, before it was painted in Autech poo brown/green :)

Anyways, that's todays history lesson over with kiddies.

It may be a shit spec to some of you guys (yes you guys who say "lolfag auto N/A"), but if you knew the history behind it, its a true collectible.

And technically you could import it, as the engine is actually a valid RB26DETT, and the chassis is a valid GTS4. Just depends on how lenient the compliancer is with the paperwork :down:

the dude who owns r31 house over in japan, put a rb26dett into a r31 then removed the turbo to make it an N/A cause she was scared of the power or somthing like that :)

Close. He built the car for his wife.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
