I have been seeing an increase in skylines in the area and thought It might not be a bad idea to see who's about and what they are doing with there car's.

So list it out like this:

Car: 1992 R32 GTST.

Colour: White with black boot and bonnet.

Mods:Pod, Exhaust, Coilpacks, FMIC, Nistune.

Plans for the next Mods: Turbo and Injectors

Owned for: 8 months

Any other imports(this can be current or previously owned): R33 GTST 300zx TT

anything else you can think of feel free to add, Wouldn't mind getting a north area cruise group happening or even a meet and greet.

Yeah man I have a r32 gtr silver no. Plates is slo26 but I live in kallangur mods r twin t517z kls low mount manifolds 3.5 inch dumps PFC 740cc injectors splitfire coils sard fuel pressure reg denso pump twin z32 afm boost 2 twin plate osgiken clutch the only problem is there's a noise in the head maybe bent valves so that's what's next on the list can't wait to get it fixed then I'll have the 300awkw monster back on the road

we just purchased an 1993 R33 GTS25T 4 door turbo

its silver and auto (missus cant drive a manual and it will be somewhat of a daily for her)

getting it rego'd next week

its stock as a rock except a turbo timer

even has the factory casette deck and an air purifier in the parcel shelf!!

we are at Narangba

I drive a 1990 MX83 cressida with a 1jz in it

its also silver with a big PWR front mount hanging out the front

has big single turbo running 18psi and a 3k high stall auto (going to manual as soon as I can afford it) 3" exhaust with twin 3" pipes(drift style)

good fun suprising the kids around here haha

I live in the north as well and own a wine red R32 GTS-T. I Have owned this car for about 10 years nows. I just can't let go.

Mods - PWR radiator, GTR Injectors, z32 afm, Bosch 040, Returned ecu, HKS GT-RS turbo, Tein SS Jap spec suspension with EDFC, cusco LSD 2-way.

Engine is healthy but is leaking oil out of tapet covers again Grrr.

Car make a fare amount of power at 23psi but I have never dynoed it to get the true rwkws reading.

I will be getting a new EBC and nistune very shortly and next year maybe sway-bars and cams.

Nice R33 is a good choice my missus wants one because I used to have one and she loved it.

I want to see this cressida it sounds badass

the cressida is pretty ordinary in the looks department

but it goes ok

need to get an aftermarket computer for it to really tap its potential

just picked up a set of Bigwin side skirts and rear bar for it today just need to get them repaired (has some damage) and need a front bar

all in good time.

The skyline will get the usual mods once its registered and just replace things as they break

Welcome to the thread, That turbo is some seriously expensive kit man, How does it perform?

Looks are not everything. I am planning on doing a sleeper as my next car.

I bought the kit from Nengun 4 years ago when the AUD was strong against the yen. Picked the kit up for a real good price.

The turbo is as big as you would want to go for a street RB20.

Response vs power output is incredible.

well our skyline should be rego'd on friday woot

started it on the weekend and it made the rattle sound at the front near the timimg belt cover area so i am guessing its in need of a belt/ tensioner/ bearing change from all the youtube and forum reading ive done????

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
