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.

'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.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
