During and after general production, a handful of special models were released in small numbers. These rare cars generally featured a small variation from the normal, and seemed to be more like test models than anything. The Autech R32 is an example of this. The Autech R32 was tuned by Autech and was basically a four door R32 GTR, without the turbos, as it housed an RB26DE in its engine bay and an automatic gearbox. You can deduce from the name that the engine was a 2.6 litre DOHC EFI in-line six normally aspirated variant. Very good for pulling trailers since they have tonnes of torque, perhaps the Autech would make a race car tractor? or nice non-turbo family touring car See Autechs page for more info.

search for RB26DE for a list of all the threads covering this car and its engine. There was even a thread from about a year ago that was recently dug up about the RB26DE engine for sale at a wrecker in adelaide or somewhere.

There is an actual limited series of auto GTR's released by a tuner (can't remember the name tho). They all had "official recognition" papers, which are the jap equivalent of an engineer's certificate. But they weren't autech N/As

^^^ Shan I think they were responsible for the R32 4-Door GT-R aswell? You know the one...

Btw, there was an R32 Autech Version for sale at Yahoo JP Auctions for about 1,500,000 yen... I'd get one if I knew who could do the auto -> manual conversion here for reasonable cost.

i have some brochures for that car, only the people who understand japanese will be able to read it but theres a few pics to look at.

Half of the Autec r32 and the other half an R32 GTB-4 ( rb26dett gts-4 sedan?)

i just got back from Japan and bought that mag :P

there is one moded N/A GTR, with compression rate rise to 12:5:1, with 100 shot NOS.

pull 380hp@9800rpm with a 10000rpm redline.

Then they race it with some similar hp light mod GTR, and it win for about 1 sec in a lap.

they claim the response is a lot better

there is a dude in the GTR Owners club in japan who owns an R32 GTR which has been converted to N/A!!! lol yes believe it or not he's converted the RB26 engine to an RB31 N/A engine. goes like its nutsack was being bitten by a gerbil too.

Maybe rezz or someone who's a lil more active in GTROC-JP can contact him and find out more.

Completely off topic, but I just noticed the stick under the rear-view mirror of the R32 AUTECH Skyline (in the scans posted -- see http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/at...achmentid=28810 -- its a white 4 on a red background).

What is the signficane of the sticker?

LW.

oh is that off a website? hmm might have to buy the catalogue then... one of these days I'll scan em all in and then sell em... its becoming an expensive habit... datalogue collecting.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
