Hey everyone

Just thought I'd say hi, my names James and I just got my first Skyline, an R32 GT-R. Just got it off the truck from Sydney today!

It came over unregistered, so had to get an ID check at good ol' Regency, but seems it doesn't have a compliance plate so now it needs a full roadworthy inspection in mid-January! Spewin about that.

So its gonna be sitting in the driveway for about a month. The wait is gonna kill me!

;)

Hi there and welcome to the community, we are generally a nice bunch of people but if you are gonna ask a question please use the search button first as it has more than likely been asked and answered before.

So your car got any mods or anything?

Hey thanks for the hearty welcomes :D

The car has a GREX oil cooler, and a 3" turbo back exhaust which I think is TOM'S branded, but only has the 'M's' embossed on the muffler. Not too sure.

Had a turbo timer but I ripped it out before going to Regency and managed to break it haha so will have to buy a new one!

Other than that its completely stock.

I've heard its illegal to modify an exhaust before the cat so I might have to look into changing it for Regency. My mate reckons the 'cat' might actually be a pre-silencer. So if theres no cat thats definitely no good eh. Really quiet exhaust and nice tone though!

damn that is tidy/new looking under the bonnet!

I laugh at all the 'supposed' 50-80,000km R32GTRs coming out of Japan at the moment, and the engine bays look like they have done 300,000+km!

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
