that is the turbo manifold he makes and sells for the rb20/25 and it sells for $650 and for any of you rb guys out there you know that is a good price. but what we are talking about is the intake manifold so the IC piping doesnet go across the top of the motor. it is a copy of the greddy style intake.

thats alot of flow, i would imagine so.

yes if you paired the intake and exhaust manifolds together you could get some hella power. but the manifold is for a t3 flange.

Starting out with R32 GTS-Ts and R33 GTS-T/4 at first. I will definitly hold off on buying a new Z or any sports car until that time
R33's do not come in a GTS-4 with a turbo, only GTS-25t, the 4wd turbos were the R32 platform and only with a RB20DET.

And just to let you know, when you purchase a car over here be ready to pay hella money in taxes and the little know thing called Shaken, which is the inspection the car has to go through before it is sold. Taxes and the inspection can sometimes cost as much as the car price. So figure you are looking at a $4000 dollar R32 GTS-t, after all is said and done, you are looking abt about a $6000-$7000 car. Then you have to pay for shipping and customs and what ever else you have to do to get it leagalized. And if the company tells you that the inspection doesn't have to be done for export cars, they are wrong. All cars sold in Japan from a dealer have to be inspected before final paperwork is completed. If you buy private, you can get away with waiting for a while, especially if the car has been recently inspected. Just thought you all should know that.

I am not trying to rain on anyones parade, just making sure you are prepared.

good post C33LAURELRACER.

my buddy over there has 2 skylines. one is a r32 coupe the other is a r32 sedan. he blew a head gasket in the sedan.. still has the car. since hes in the army he can get both cars shipped back here with no problem, (which i want him to, lol) but hes just thinking about selling both and just buying a sr20det from over there and just installing it in his 240 coupe.

Actually, it is not as easy as people are meant to believe as far as the whole military being able to ship stuff back. A guy I was in the navy with tried to ship his R32 GTS-4 to the states when he left here in 1999. It is still sitting in Yokosuka, now in an impound yard, cause he can't clear the customs reports cause he doesn't have the right licensing. Make sure your buddy knows whats going on. He might find himself without two skylines when he gets back stateside.

yea he knows, thats why hes just gettin the motor for his 240. i wish it wasnt as hard as it is to make the skylines legal, you can get any other car ported here with no problem.

btw have you been to the skyline hall of fame, in Japan?
