all of the above and the fact that he called it a "Baby Godzilla"....

yeah well that should deter anyone.....

what a joke

Non-turbo R32s can't be imported under SEVS - they don't meet minimum power/weight ratios.

is that a

No turbo, blue/white GT badges would denote this also...

wowz0rs

so all non-turbo GTS model skylines came with these badges ? ?

far out, when i first saw the listing and looking at the pictures, I was even convinced that because it has the hks hi-powah exhaust and stickers, that of course it was a turbo ! some poor not-quite-as-cluey sucker would easily fall for what's promised in the purchase.

damn dodgy kents. :)

The plumbing in the engine bay got me thinking... Maybe this is one of those fabled HKS "seperate from induction" turbo kits, thought I best ask the very informed seller, does anyone know what the GAS stands for in all the Chassis codes he quotes??? Do JDM R32s come with NOS???

This bloke appears genuine, I am certainly happy with his response to my enquiry, I am going to bid 11ty billion

Hey mate just wondering where the turbo and intercooler fit between the airbox and the throttle body??? Normally the induction setup would come out of the airbox, into the turbo, then forward into the intercooler, after which it would come back to the throttle body. Or is the turbo and intercooler a HKS "seperate from induction system setup" Have heard these are very powerful.

A: G'day, I do not know detail of after market parts on engine. A lot of peoples are saying this car was not Turbo but as Nissan Manufacture's production data said this car was fitted with RB20DET engine. However I happy to known we have a lot of Skyline expertise in Australia. For buyer, he or she will receive E-HCR-32 or R32 Single Turbo engine RB20DET original stock car product from Nissan Company and not from back yard garage. Thank you very much for your questions.

      What accelerator cable can be used with greddy plenum

      By Duncan · Posted

      I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
