Hey guys

Just wondering if there's any detailed information of photos floating around on the Nissan (R32) Skyline GTB-4. I believe there was only 1 (or a few) built - one now residing at Red Park, but finding good detailed pics (exterior & interior) and information on it is next to impossible. I came across a site that had pics of some form of book called GT-R Maniacs, but the pics a really small:

If anyone knows where I can find info on this rare Skyline it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Brendan actually posted this for me - from what we can glean it had the complete manual BNR32 running gear as opposed to the Autech Version 4 door GT-R which had the 26DE with an Auto.

Was contemplating going full wide body with my 4 door - until I saw the price of the rear conversion guards...

Brendan,

From what info I've collected:

"Not strictly a GT-R but a standard 1993 HNR32 (four door) that was built as a complete car by S&S Engineering - independent of Autech Japan - the project was led by Shinichiro Sakurai and based on a four door GTS-4. The engine and drivetrain are directly transplanted from a BNR32 GT-R, along with front fenders, front bumper, headlights, taillights, interior, and some beautiful 'one-off' rear guards. The whole car is a one off exibit but Skyline fans often confuse the GTB-4 as a car produced by Autech, which it is not."

Sorry I don't have any big pics.

Thanks Rezz.

So the next time anyone's heading to Red Park - ask if you can take some really detailed pics and get some more details.

Cheers

Brendan

As far as I recall reading, there were 5 made.

I also assumed they were done by Autech, and that they were essentially factory-certified GTR sedans...

These are small pics, but I've attached them none-the-less.

Man, to get my hands on either a GTB-4 or an Autech R32 would bring tears to my eyes!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
