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.

    • I've been running a 525 for years with the standard hat and FPR in the stagea (mine has a 32 gtr fuel rail and stagea and 32 hat and tank setup are the same) without an issue with base fuel pressure. You said when you disconnected the return it is OK, did you do so at the fuel rail or the fuel hat? Either way I'd be looking for blockages or in the case of the tank kinks in the lines downstream Note I did however have an issue with the current required for the 460 melting the fuel hat.
    • I'm trying to maintain stock appearance . Hicas is still installed (although has lockout kit) did you retain factory fuel pump hat? If so I assume you used a bulkhead fitting or similar ?  I was also trying to avoid a full re design as it was previously dynoed at 426kw atw with same setup but different pump. Changing return line would also mean having to change ethanol sensor and fpr and possibly fuel rail. Not chasing more power in any way just reliability of the setup 
    • I do think it's weird I had it for 2 weeks then the issue came up out of nowhere and progressively got worse. I would've imagined changing everything in the ignition system would've resolved any ignition related misfires but still has the high rpm and idle misfires that seem unchanged. I would've thought if it was fuel related it would happen all the time unless it's the pump losing pressure when it gets hot. If it was the ecu I would think it would do it all of the time.  Something I noticed when I had it all apart was a pretty decent coating of oil in the J pipe coming from the throttle body. The weird thing about that is the pcv that goes to the intake is blocked off. So that has me wondering if the oil is coming from the turbo because that's the only thing that could get oil in there. This thing does sound like it spools like a mofo like I'm a former dsm guy and the only stock turbo I've ever heard spool this loud (to only go up to about 5psi) is on a diesel truck. And the recirculated bov is really loud too I had a TurboXS RFL and this thing is just as loud and being so low on psi seems a little weird. I don't know if any of this is or isn't related but just trying to make sure I'm not leaving any potentially helpful information out. 
    • So latest update. I replaced the ignitor with a jspec unit from enjuku. It felt a lot better at first although it is a little bit cooler of a day than it has been. Warming up didn't have as much misfire sputtering as before. Went on a 10m test drive. Felt good, a lot stronger though I was taking it easy on the boost. On the return trip started getting the cutting out at higher rpm again and was getting worse the longer I was driving. Took it easy the rest of the way home. Before turning the car off was getting the normal idle sputtering I was getting before.  So where I'm at now, entire ignition system has been replaced with upgraded components. Plugs still gapped at .8mm. Removed the fuel cap in case it was building too much reverse pressure I'm the tank, didn't help at all. Now I'm still on the same tank of gas the fuel treatment was in, I'm thinking if I can run that out and then refill with fresh 93 maybe  the treatment is too concentrated in some areas but doesn't explain that it only does it once the car is warm. I'm leaning towards fuel pump or injectors but if the injector was clogging I don't think it would make it shut off like it has but then fire right back up like nothing happened. So my current guess would be the pump. Without a fuel pressure guage no way to test or check it while it's running.  So that's kind of where I'm at. Need to start testing fuel components and ecu/wiring but I'm at a loss of what's the next logical step and procedure for testing it. 
    • @niZmO_Man thanks for that info, lucky I bought the gktech ones 🤙.
