1989 Nissan Skyline R32  

gutless

Any info???

Engine?\

Good colour. Front bar looks a bit off for some reason and bit ratty where the badge on the bonnet used to be.

So what are you gonna do with it? Keep it till you get your licence back or drift it into the ground like every other 32?

Hey dude, yeah it's an rb20det, t28 turbo, bigger injectors (not sure on size), apexi FC, surge tank (not sure of size), Numerous other goodies.
Ummm not really sure yet. At the moment it's a "track car" however in saying that it hasn't seen a track in the 2 weeks of ownership and I'm getting really anxious about getting it out there. Especially after it blew a gearbox after 4 days of ownership.

RB20? I'm so so sorry. Otherwise a good car.

gutless

Fair enough. 20DET boxes are shit. Whole car needs moar 25DET in the future

gutless

He has no licence for a while.

pinkydk2m

I've only ever driven a rb25de so I can't really compare but mine seems to go nicely, I'm very happy with the power output. I've heard rb25det's are much better though can anyone explain why?

gutless

No Replacement for Displacement.

RB20 is just a torqueless goat-monkey with terrible mid range compared to 25.
Small displacement 6 is small.

But as with any engine, if theres nothing wrong with it then theres nothing wrong with it. It will definitely be better than any engine youve been allowed to drive on the road anyway. Have fun.

I can think of 500 reasons why the 25 is better than the 20.
501 if you include the gearbox.

Cleannnn... but RB25det it in the future.

skidin

rb25 hahaha lsx it dont be scared

socal

I like the wheels.

Gerry Giraffe

Looks really good, top effort mate. Really digging the roof spoiler and rims, know what they are?? brand, size etc...

HarleyJace

Colour matching on this thing is shocking, rear quarter is different to the rest of the car, along with the kit haha.

Otherwise, pretty cool!

pinkydk2m

No idea on the brand dude sorry they were on the car already... They're 18 x 9.5 + 12 (I'm guessing) on the rear, 18 x 8.5 + something weak on the front. (25mm spacers)

More pictures coming for those interested...

Paint is very inconsistent, I'd say this car has had its fair share of exterior changes. Nonetheless looks pretty good, would be a whole lot better if it were road registered

pinkydk2m

Yeah man I agree... Thinking about a respray but I want to change a few things before I go spraying stuff

What ever you do Don't get another 20 box ... I have killed 4 of them and the 5th one (in the car atm) is making some funny noises lol
Do what i've done and source a 25 box and tailshaft or you could go a Z32 box
O/T Clean 32

looks mint

pinkydk2m

Z32 box, havn't heard much about this what's the go? I wanted rb25 box but just couldn't afford it and wanted it running again as soon as possible :/

gutless

Tiny step up from RB25DET box but not a bolt on affair. Need a bellhousing adaptor along with whatever else. Not worth the effort imo when you can just do the normal and use a 25DET box.

pinkydk2m

Ahk awesome. Not trying to argue with you but doesn't Nigel Petrie make adaptors for the z32 box? Would it be worth buying the adaptor and then saving the money for the cheaper z32 boxes?
I feel my new box which I got from a prominent importer in Brisbane (Let's not name names) is about to explode. It feels like absolute shit.

gutless

Hey whatever works man.

Just do your research, weight it up and decide.

dan-828

hows the power steering leak? has that been sorted yet or did the fella before you just not worry about it as well, oh and dont rev this thing to high or it might pop just letting you know.... haha

pinkydk2m

It doesn't have power steering at all... The wires have been removed, might try and reinstall it at some point.
Yeah I heard it used to run a high mount truck turbo :/ Did you used to own it?

gutless

Shit. Nothing better than an RB20 you shouldn't rev out.

datsun kid 2

haha its paul i drove this a few weeks ago mate was going to buy it just didnt have any pull rb seems like its dieing.

pinkydk2m

Time for ls1 Nah I'm not sure what I'll do with it... If it explodes it explodes but it pulls hard for me? Off boost it's shit, fuck yeah I totally agree, but as soon as I hit boost it lights them up? Went out the other night and had no worries with 3rd gear munji's in the dry... Was it different for you orrrrr?

pinkydk2m

Haha yeah not too sure about all this, it feels okay to me (not great... but okay). But then again I've only owned n/a cars, this was a bit of an experiment and a learning curve

gutless

Get it completely looked over by a workshop and save up for a 25.

pinkydk2m

Some might call this crazy but I've been told to go sr20det, better weight distribution, similar power outputs, blah blah blah. Opinions?
Also I know for sure the throttle body needs cleaning out, could this be a contributing factor to why people who've driven it seem to think it runs shit?
