A transplant maybe?

They dropped the RB20E for the R34s and made the base model a RB20DE, but the 33 definitely had it. This particular example looks terrible anyway. Even if I was in the market for a non turbo Skyline, 120,000 Yen is far too much for this sticker covered and crash damaged car. I wonder how it sold for so much?

I cant believe how unfamiliar with Skylines some of the "enthusiasts" are here.

And quite clearly you can see in the pictures that it does have climate control/aircon and power steering.

For 120,000y it would be good to part out here. Of course the govt wont let you.

sewid, if you read the remarks section it says

"ABS Not Available,SUN ROOF Not Available, TELEVISION Not Available, NAVIGATION Not Available, LEATHER SEAT Not Available, A/C Not Available, P/S Not Available, P/W Not Available, SERVICE BOOK Not Available, USER MANUAL Not Available"

I think i am pretty familiar with skylines buddy, whats with the attitude mate?

My previous skyline was an R33 GTS.

R33 GTS - engine RB20E, single cam, 2 litre engine with 130PS output. You do get climate control, power windows, power mirrors and power steering as standard

But you don't get ABS, traction control, HICAS, sway bars, etc. It's the entry level skyline. But IMO it's still a good car, after all it's a SKYLINE.

though it is somewhat underpowered! :)

They can be had for peanuts over here and there are plenty of nice examples around, the above car not being one of them. :)

I meant that towards the people thinking the RB20E was a transplant.

Besides if you are familiar with Skylines you can quite clearly see the PS resevoir as well as the AC/Climate control setup in the pics. The remarks on that site are usually wrong in that section.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
