Hi All,

I am a non-skyline owning new member doing some research on skylines for my company, and thought what better way to research this than getting the information from the enthusiasts themselves- you guys!

I am trying to list all the different types of skylines, from 1989 to 2002 (r32-r34 series), and what i am finding it difficult to understand is how the naming conventions of BNR34, BCNR33, HR33 etc... are all assigned to a particular model.

So far, a friend of mine have come up with the below, but am not 100% sure.

So i am looking to you guys and gals for assistance. Are any of you able to provide more info on this?

R32 Skyline - 1989 to 1994

? = GXi Type-X 1.8 L CA18i I4, 91 hp (67 kW)

? = GTE Type-X 2.0 L RB20E I6, 125 hp (93 kW, 152 N m)

? = GTS Type-X, S, J 2.0 L RB20DE I6 155 hp (115 kW, 154 N m)

? = GTS-25 Type-X, S, XG 2.5 L RB25DE I6, 180 hp (208 kW, 231 N m)

? = GTS-t Type-M 2.0 L RB20DET turbo I6, 212 hp (158 kW, 263 N m)

? = GTS-4 2.0 L RB20DET turbo I6, 212 hp (158 kW, 263 N m)

BNR32 = GT-R 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 280+ hp (186 kW, 368 N m)

BNR32 = GT-R 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 280+ hp (186 kW, 368 N m) V-Spec

BNR32 = GT-R 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 280+ hp (186 kW, 368 N m) V-Spec II

BNR32 = GT-R 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 280+ hp (186 kW, 368 N m) NISMO

R33 Skyline - 1993 to 1998

HR33 = GTS 2.0 L RB20E SOHC I6, 130 PS (96 kW, 172 N m)

ER33 = GTS25 2.5 L RB25DE DOHC I6, 190 PS (140 kW, 231 N m)

ENR33 = GTS-4 2.5 L RB25DE DOHC I6, 190 PS (140 kW, 231 N m) 4WD

ECR33 = GTS25T 2.5 L RB25DET DOHC turbo I6, 250 PS (184 kW, 294 N m)

BCNR33 = GT-R 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 280+ hp (186 kW, 368 N m)

R34 Skyline - 1998 to 2002

? = GT 2.0 L RB20DE NEO I6, 155 ps (114 kW)

? = 25 GT, GT-X, GT-V 2.5 L RB25DE NEO I6, 200 ps (147 kW)

? = GT-FOUR 2.5 L RB25DE NEO I6, 200 ps (147 kW) 4WD

? = GT-T 2.5 L RB25DET NEO turbo I6, 280 hp (206 kW, 343 N m)

BNR34 = GT-R 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 332 PS (244 kW, 392 N m)

BNR34 = GT-R V-Spec 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 332 PS (244 kW, 392 N m)

BNR34 = GT-R V-Spec II 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 332 PS (244 kW, 392 N m)

BNR34 = GT-R N1 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 332 PS (244 kW, 392 N m)

BNR34 = GT-R M-Spec 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 332 PS (244 kW, 392 N m)

BNR34 = GT-R V-Spec II Nür (only 750 made) 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 332 PS (244 kW, 392 N m)

BNR34 = GT-R M-Spec Nür (only 250 made) 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 332 PS (244 kW, 392 N m)

BNR34 = GT-R NISMO R-tune 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 332 PS (244 kW, 392 N m)

BNR34 = GT-R NISMO Z-tune 2.8 L (bored and stroked) RB26DETT Z2 twin-turbo I6, 500 PS (368 kW, 540 N m) Z1 and Z2 (Only 20 made)

Looking at the above, we have come to the assumption that the skyline naming conventions follows a pattern,

Example:

GTS = HR<series>

GTS25 = ER<series>

GTS-4 = ENR<series>

GTR = BNR<series>

GTS-T = ECR<series>

Is anyone able to please assist or point me in the right direction to get this info?!?

Thanks in advance,

Jed (aka ganaZ~)

I just read through that list and now have a headache. Where did you get that list from? Half of that is wrong.

I can't be bothered going through and re writing the list but here's a couple that are wrong:

R32

No such thing as a Type-X 1.8 L CA18i from the nissan factory in a R32.

No such thing as a GTE Type-X or GTS Type X with a RB25DE from the nissan factory in a R32, let alone a 208kw non turbo RB25.

R33

No such thing as a SOHC RB20 in a R33, earlier models in the R33 could get purchased with a RB20 but they are DOHC.

R34

No such thing as a Rb20 neo R34.

No such thing as a GTX or a GTV

No such thing as a GT4 AWD non turbo R34.

R34 neos aren't rated at 206kw.

All GTR's are rated at 206kw because this was the Japanese agreement at the time even though they made more than this, so technically not 244kw.

So yeah, no idea where you got those from....

Thanks bud- thats why i jumped on here to see if i can get the correct info.

Any ideas with how the HR, ER, BNR, BCNR etc are all assigned to a particular model (example below)?

GTS = HR<series>

GTS25 = ER<series>

GTS-4 = ENR<series>

GTR = BNR<series>

GTS-T = ECR<series>

R34s did come out with an RB20 Neo..its the most fuel efficient rb engine

Also there are such things as R34 GTX and GTV

dunno what the difference is with the GTX but the GTV is basicall a GTT with a non turbo engine

So wouldnt that be a R34 GT.....

You got a link to a RB20 Neo?

- Neo RB20s are in the R34 workshop manual, both the rb26 and neo rb25 are 206kw

- R34 GTVs have the big brakes and all options that the Gt-t has except they have an rb25de

- There are 4wd r34s, theyre just harder to find

- Sohc rb20 r33s are out there aswell, a rarity as no one wants them and they aren't imported much.

Same goes for the r31 and r32's, the carby ca18 models rarely get imported.

Ok just checked the R34 manual and your right, it does say a RB20, has any one ever seen one or got more info on this? Never seen a RB20 in a R34 from factory.

The rest i've never seen in Aus (sohc RB20 or carby CA18 in a R32 or AWD R34 GT4), but there ya go, i stand corrected :P

Edited by PM-R33
man they are just about all wrong, all standard GTR's had 206kw not 186kw or 244kw .

I suggest you stop getting info from your friend. :/

I think 186kw is at all 4 wheels and 244kw is at the flywheel.

On the RB20 note, R32, 33 and 34s did come out with 2lt inline 6.

A member just resently made a thread about his R34 coming with a 2 lt engine.

You gotta admit though, 99% of people wouldn't know that a RB20 came out in a R34, that you can get a carby CA18 in a R32 and a SOHC RB20 in a R33. I told a couple of mates about it tonight and they didn't believe it until we did some searching on google.

Good thread though, learn something new every day :/

On another note, god u'd be pissed if you bought a R34 without checking under the bonnet and found a RB20 lol. Surely the rb20 wouldn't have much power down low to move a fairly heavy R34 (compared to a R32) that well.

Edited by PM-R33

I just bought a rb20 R34 haha, about 4 days ago.

And i had no clue they existed either untill after i bought it and noticed the engine number started with rb20.

And yes PM-R33, i was pretty pissed after buying it then noticing it was a rb20...pretty stupid mistake.

And yes i was the person who posted the topic about the 2L rb20 r34.

If it wasnt for the engine no. on his old rego i never would of found out.

I guess thats what you get for a $13500 r34. (still worth it though)

As for the power...just feels like any other inline 6, nothing really fancy, deffently doesnt feel heavy or slow.

Edited by Darkplague

hmm my R32 GTS-4 is listed as a HNR32 on the blue build plate, taking a stab at the probably obvious here, I assume that the prefix has something to do with engine type and rwd/4wd, also the JDM R31s were HR31, as well as the R32 GTST being HR32, so probably not based on year.

But also lookin for a bit info (dont ask much do i?) on how the HR, BNCR, ER names are linked to the different models/series? any clues?

Try This Link for an answer.

Was passd on to me by another member here not long back, sorry cant remember who it was though or in which thread.

ahh the non existant gte r32.... lol http://autospeed.com/cms/A_2278/article.html

also mentions the non existant non turbo rb25de r32, while they aren't called type x, they do exist.

    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
