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.

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
