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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
