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.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
