Hey everyone,

After driving a commodore for the entirety of my provisional licence and hating auto i'm finally jumping into a skyline! This coming monday i'm going to be picking up a 1993 HCR32 GTS-T that's black in colour and has about 185000kms on the clock. My dream car is a gunmetal grey R32 GT-R but for now the GTS-T will do while i get used to a completely different drive (forced induction :yes: ) and until i can afford one!

I'm picking it up off a friends friend for a pretty good price and after driving it around the block last week a couple times all i can say is i had a grin from ear to ear.

I don't have any photos now but i plan to do a proper shoot of it very soon after i get it and clean it up.

So i'll give you the details!

The current owner bought it for one track day while his car was out of action and since then has been sitting in his driveway and before that it was sitting in a garage for a few years because the old owner had lost his licence.

The good:

- It's a skyline

- Disco Potato

- There's a few gauges

- EBC

- FMIC

- 5 Stud

- Interior is in good condition

- 3" from the Cat to a 4" tip

- Sitting on white 17" Enkei RP01s

- Sunroof

- BOV

- Got it for a good price

The Bad

- HICAS

- 2 slight rust spots around the sunroof

- No A/C

- No Rego

- Slight blemishes to the paint

- When shifting hard into second it sometimes crunches and doesn't go into gear

But the current owner says he can organise the blue slip so i'm not too worried. I might have to source a standard R32 GTS-T exhaust to pass emissions though but it's sitting on standard suspension and everything else is pretty much standard except for the turbo and the EBC so i don't think it should be a big problem.

My plans with it are to first tidy it up and have it looking nice and clean with minimal exterior mods. It's my first car that i'm really going to get my hands dirty with and i'm so excited. It's going to be a steep learning curve but i think it'll be a good introduction to the import life!

Ill start a build thread when i get the car!

Thanks for reading guys!

The car is now sitting in my garage. :woot:

Having another quick look over the A/C works so that's a plus and i've already ordered a HICAS lock bar off GKTECH.

It needs new tyres and a full service and that will be done within the next couple of weeks and then it's off to get blue slipped so it can be on the road within the month.

I'll start a build thread soon when i clean it up and take some more photos of it.

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
