Price drop $17k, it's gotta go! And more specs + photos. 20th Oct 2002

Only lightly modified, and has never run more than standard boost. This White 1993 R32 Skyline is a beautiful example.

Specs:

- Thorougly serviced, 132000kms.

- RB20DET, 6cyl Turbo 24valve 2.0L

- 5 Speed Manual Transmission

- Heavy Duty Clutch Kit

- GEAI Climb Struts

- Professionally Resprayed

- Bomex bodykit (front spoiler, side skirts)

- Fully Automatic Greddy Turbo Timer

- Hurricane Pod Filter

- Full exhaust system

- 16" Sebring 2 Piece Racing Rims

- 4 x Brand New Low Profile Tyres (less than one month old)

- R33 Brakes and Calipers

- Niken Pedals and Sports Gearknob

- Electric mirrors

- Power windows

- Power steering

It is a excellent looking and very reliable car. Serviced every 4000kms and using only synthetic motor oil. Has potential for more modifications. Any mechanical inspection welcomed.

I personally feel that this is one of the best R32's in Adelaide and the bodykit makes it a real stand-out.

Reason i'm thinking of selling it is to secure a deposit for a house. I'm looking for $18000 (drop to $17 now), but serious offers will be considered.

If you're interested call me on 0421 033 013 or email me at [email protected].

Hey Howie,

I had exactly that bar on the front of my R32 aswell (till I lunched it on a fence- long story) What I'm getting at is that mine had a set of PIAA spot lights fitted. They are still ok, I have all of the wiring and switch to go with it, if you would like to buy them (will make the front of your car look more complete)

e-mail me if you wanna chat about it - [email protected]

Im in Adelaide aswell,

Steve

Thanks for the offer Steve. If I decide to keep the car afterall I may take you up on that offer. However, at the moment it is probably ideal for me to have the foglight holes uncovered as it provides heaps of cooling to the stock gts-t cooler.

Heya Heavyside.. nice mod man! hehe.

My next step was to lower my skyline more but after dumping my previous car 2 3/4" it used to bottom out all the time and caused damage to my bump stop, and bend my struts. So that's why I decided to get decent shocks but not to lower the skyline. It feels awesome over rough surfaces... I wouldn't have it any other way. But I guess the next owner can lower it if he wants.. you'd only need springs then.

Also.. you don't need 18k man =) I've dropped it to 17k as I realise that R33's can be bought for around 20k (condition though i'm not sure).

Well hope to sell it quite soon, i'm putting it in Thursday's post.

Take care guys.

hey Howie,

yeah, i know what you mean about lowering in adelaide, my ute is lowered only 1 1/2 inches and that is giving me grief, esp on the curbs and speed humps and all the other crappy roads we have here! haha.

your skyline is absolutly awesome! where abouts in adelaide are ya? i wouldnt mind havin' a cruise with ya b4 ya sell it, and yeah, maybe if you were sellin it about 6 months later, i would have the dough! ah well, thats life,

if anyone likes what i did with Howies car, and wants me to do something with theirs, just email me the pic at [email protected] and i will get it back to you asap.

the job on howies car took me 5 mins and i have done other work on cars to make them look awesome. i should put a post up with all my different stuff, but until then, heres a supra that i had a go at a while ago.

this was on of my first attempts so yeah,

hope ya like it!

      I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.

      Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary?

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
