Hey guys,

I need some help finding some information. Alright, I'll be living in Tokyo for the next three years. I've been here for six months and I'm new to the skyline scene. I bought myself a R32 GTS-T 4 door and i'm in love.

My question is where to find New parts or skyline specific garages? Now i know of Up garages, autobacs and all those other chained owned stores. What I'm trying to find is new parts or garages that will supply me with what i'm looking for. I'm looking for Nismo owned parts to be more specific, but I'll go with any other racing brand in that spectrum like Apex'i, HKS, etc. Am I chasing a dream finding these parts? Anyhow, any information that the community can provide me will greatly be appreciated.

Thanks Mark for the link. I will also be enjoying myself here in Japan indeed.

As for the Nismo factory, I heard its just for show. You know one of those things to check out one time or two. They don't really sell car parts as much as souvenirs in their gift shop. But I might as well go check it out and see what I can find.

Thanks man.

Not only do they sell parts at the Nismo factory but they fit them as well. There is a huge workshop that is separated from the showroom by big glass windows so that you can see what is happening in the workshop while looking around the showroom.

just curiously, what is it costing you in registration and insurance for such an old car? everyone keeps talking about how cars become really uneconomical to keep the older they get, so some first hand account would be great!

      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.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
