Hey Girls

I need your opinions

As most of your are aware I am now carless with some money saved and after 7 months of being skylineless (oh how it hurts) I am ready to step back into the wet warm slippery (ohhh god i need a girlfriend) depths of skyline heaven

So what are your recomendations

I have currently these options avail to me

Get another R33 (too many around)

Get myself a cheap R32 Gts4-Turbo (as i cannot afford the full zilla)

for about 12K

J-spec (not P) will be importing it when they become avail in august to import

does anyone have any experience on how a r32 handles compared to a r33? i know the interior is shit but all the pictures i see are usually bad quality

thanks guys your advice, is appreciated

P.s GTR zilla saw you the other day at maccas, sorry for stalking you

don't get a GTS4 R32, its a really bad car handling wise, its not as maneuverable as the GTSt and its not as powerful as the GTSt. It has better grip but without proper GTR style ATESSA it'll work against you. You'd be better off settling for a GTSt.

One of the guys from j-spec bought a R32 1989 4 door for 1 Yen... hehe that's around 1.2c :D importing it here turned out to be prettycostly compared to that tho ;p

I'd also be of the opinion that without serious work, the GTS4 will be underpowered compared to a stockish gts-t.

find an r32 s-t with rb25det transplant.....or worse.....

If I was looking to buy another nissan at around that price I'd be thinking something mega cool.... while the 89 rules still exist. Leopard/cima/laurel/iron mask/ceffy.

Mate for 15G's dont waste your time on a r32 or a r33.....

If I was you I would look at getting a VL Calais Turbo with a RB26 Trasplant - theres a few going around. They look awesome, have the luxo interior and the power of a rb26.......

Can be had for 10-15g's....

    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
