Very Nice I have read quite a bit about them. They were one of the places I contacted when looking for mine. Definitely a hassle free option. Was it very difficult to get it titled in NY?

Sorry been off the site for a bit. No it wasn't too hard. The worst part is the VIN # not being 17 characters so they need a visual of it being on the car. Just had to email the DMV a pic as I was in line lol

Hey all,

Been a long time forum member and recently moved to NYC. Owned an R32 GTR V-Spec back in Australia since the early 2000's, unfortunately had to let it go to move here. Good to see these beats starting to turn up in the US, hopefully I can move somewhere a bit more car friendly than Manhattan in the near future and pick one up.

I know I posted the standard intro thread elsewhere, but since this is the states thread, lol, here's my info:

I live in the Phoenix Arizona Metro area.

Cars I own:

'90 TH1 Skyline GTR

'96 S14 (New Track Car)

'92 S13 (Old Track Car, going to brother in a couple weeks)

'96 P10 with an SR20VE swap (Daily that needs a little care to be a daily again)

'01 GMC truck (super exciting)

'57 Lincoln Premiere Sedan. (Sitting in a field waiting for attention)

Have to revive this dead thread to see if there are any other American Skyline owners.  I'm American and currently living/stationed in Japan.  I bought a 1995 Skyline R33 GTR with ~36,000 km on it!  Only mods on it are a Blitz intake system, some 18 inch work emotion rims, a MoMo Steering Wheel, a HKS turbo Timer, and a 3 inch cat back exhaust.   I'm in Japan until 2020, so the car will be 25 years old by the time Ieave Japan and I can bring it back to states.  Current parts I'm currently planning on is some spit fire coil packs, a 3' high flow cat, and a 3 in. front dump pipe as well.  After that I will add some HKS hyper max suspension to give it the drop it desperately needs.  I will most likely replace the Bltiz air filters with either HKS or Apexi.  I don't like the metal mesh design of the blitz.  Here are some pics:

I am here from Southern California,

As for your car I love it! I am hoping to add a BNR33 to my collection in the next few years. My BNR32 came from jdm expo also.

What's going on guys, joined a few days ago looking for suggestions and answers to a lot of questions pertaining to my R32

Backstory is I bought an 1990 Skyline GTS-T. All is great and wonderful until I found it was an FR chassis, checked the ECU it was an R31 and the wiring was a rat's nest from hell at the ECU, TCM and under the fuse box in the engine bay. 

Fast forward to two days ago, I finished ripping out the entire interior, purchased a new chassis harness for a GTS-T and ran everything. Looks good so far. Now I'm waiting on the GTS-T engine harness and transmission harness to finish the project and move onto the interior.

Down the road (6 months or so) I'm planning on dropping an RB25DET NEO with A/T trans. The challenge then will be the wiring (RB20 chassis harness + RB25 engine harness + RB25 ECU). Though that's another nightmare waiting to happen, the plan might be (worst case) to just find a wrecked R34 and get the chassis harness from there and hope to god it all works lol.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
