Hello everyone!! I finally got myself a skyline which has been a dream car of mine for most of my life. I just got a 1992 Skyline R32 GTS-T Type M. It was kind of a show car and had a lot of things done to it but I don’t think a lot was done correctly. So me being the 25+ year technician, I am going through everything in this car to get it running and driving amazing. I don’t ask a lot of questions because I research the heck out of everything and eventually find an answer. However, if I absolutely cannot find an answer I will call upon all of you experts to assist me please. Let me know if you have any questions or whatever.

Thanks Matty! Yeah I like the purple engine bay but it doesn’t go with the red color the car currently is, I will agree with you on that. She will need a new paint job eventually because there are a lot of blemishes, body kit cracks, and other things I see as a former auto body technician that isn’t noticeable in the picture. My girlfriend really loves that purple metallic so I was considering repainting the whole car that color then the engine bay will match the car. Possibly adding some carbon fiber accents, hood, trunk, and new taller spoiler. 

Welcome to SAU. I like your car, it's cool you got your dream car. I remember the feeling. I go out and stare at my car. You may find you lose hours in your garage doing the same.

I really like your mirrors though. I'd kill for a set of Ganadors. Keep us up to date with your adventure. I like seeing what owners do with their cars. :)

Hi Steve85,

Thanks! Yeah I do get lost in time in the garage working on it and staring at it ha ha! As for the mirrors, I think they look great but they aren’t very functional because I can’t see much in them. I mirror part itself is really small.

Nice R32, it looks great, anymore pics?

:welcome:

Hi PranK,

I have some pics of her past life but no more that I have taken yet. I’m currently in the process of making her more functional and drivable. It has really over stretched tires on it right now and you can see in my picture that I posted I already raised up the ride height because it was extremely slammed and tucked. The tires are 225/40/18 on 10.5 inch wide wheels. I’m going to put 275/40/18’s on it soon. Anyway, here’s a couple pics of her past life.

I love the wheels, what's the profile on them?

I had to look them up and I found them. All it gives me is the wheel bolt pattern, and the width of the rim depending on how big the lip is. I believe I have the 10 inch wide wheels, I haven't measured yet. I will when my new tires get here though. I have attached a screenshot of them, they are on vrwheels.com and that is as much as I know right now. Well I also know that they are not cheap wheels ha ha!

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
