**R32 SKYLINE** 420BHP FROM A 2.0-LITRE

Hi guys, welcome back to Geo By Luke Reviews, today we have something really really special we have an R32 GTS-T, but this is a real clean example, this is OEM plus. So now I'm going to introduce you to the owner Andreas, so how are you finding it then? I like it quite a lot man, I mean compared to some of the other stuff that I've had, it's obviously quite a bit quicker, it's also quite a bit older, but I feel like that's a good bit of character within the car. Lovely, love it. Is this your first JAP then? It is my first JAP car, yeah. Okay, okay, interesting. Jumping into the deep end. Yeah, exactly that man, rear wheel drive, no traction. So what's the specs on it, what power has it got? So I didn't actually do any of the work myself, it was done by the previous owner, I was told about 400-420, I think that's a realistic figure. Okay, cool, and what turbo are you running? It's a Holset HX35. Okay, big boy. It's a big diesel turbo, does the job, obviously quite reliable as well. Yeah, lovely, has it got much lag or? A lot of lag, it doesn't really kick in and go into about 5, maybe just over 5k, then it goes to about 8. Okay, so when it comes on it's alive. Yeah, it's very aggressive. What fuelling system has the car got? So we've got 1000cc injectors, we've got a fuel pressure regulator, and we've got a Bosch 0044. Big boy, that's a big boy pump. Yeah, it's a big juicy one. So is it juicy on fuel then? Yeah, it is. Do you know what, when you're off boost, I find it's decent, but the minute you get into boost, you can literally watch the gauge just drop. Okay, but yeah, it's miles per gallon I guess, isn't it? With something like this. And also, what about the brakes, have you done anything to the brakes? Again, personally, I haven't done anything to the brakes, all in the hands of the previous owner, he's put K-Sport 8-pot brakes on the front, and I think on the back he's just upgraded the pads, I think they're EBC yellow stuff, maybe, I'm not too sure. It looks like you had also upgraded discs as well, so they're vented. Yeah, they're vented on the rear and they're drilled and grooved on the front. Okay, it's nice as well, the interior's nice, you've got your double DIN radio, stereo. Yeah, it suffers from the normal bubble dash like most R32s do and stuff. Grand scheme of things though, for a 26-year-old car, it's in good nick. Nice, got the sunroof. Yeah, sunroof, obviously we've got a nice pop-off steering wheel, turbo timer. Boost controller. Boost controller, yeah, that's it, and then we've got a controller to control different map settings, I believe we've got valet mode, boost cutoff, low boost, mid boost and high boost. Okay, and that's a Cybex controller, isn't it? It is, yeah. Yeah, Cybex ECUs are probably one of the best. Stand-alone Cybex ECU. Okay, so stand-alone Cybex, so it's got the wastegate. HX35. Yeah, big boy turbo. And then we've got 1000cc injectors. 1000cc injectors, fuel pressure regulator, big fuel pump, Kakimoto exhaust system. Oh yeah, that's a good make that is. It's also got quite a big intercooler up front, not sure on the branding, I just know it's massive. Yeah, we've got some HSD coilovers on it at the minute, but obviously you're going to be upgrading them for me soon. Yeah, that's the one. Yeah, pretty straightforward. Maybe delete the high-cast as well. Yeah, I think we will do a high-cast delete, it just seems like a thing sort of for reliability, so I do like a nice reliable car. You have to bear in mind that how old the car is, the high-cast probably doesn't even work. Yeah, it's 26 years old, I'm sure it's done its time, it's time for it to retire. We'll get that swapped out. So yeah, Andreas has actually booked in for a set of Meister Rs, which I've got at the garage already, so we'll get those on. We'll do a little geo by Luke, and yeah, we'll delete his high-cast, and then that should transform the car, because the Meister Rs are unbelievable, they're so good. Yeah, I mean I've heard good things, so I'm looking forward to it. Yeah, and do you know what diff you're running? Factory two-way LSD, that's all I know about at the minute. Yeah. Bit of a grey area, because there's two different types apparently that they could have come with on the R32s, but until you take it off you don't know sort of thing. Yeah, recently I'd done a cam belt and water pump, I think we used HKS as well, which was a really good quality one. We did, yeah, we used a HKS super fine tuning belt. Yeah, so we've changed the cam belt, we also gave it a full service, so that was including spark plugs, fuel filter, oil filter, gearbox oil, diff oil, and engine oil, and all the fluids we used was Miller's, so that's good stuff, which was recommended by OP Oils, and they know their stuff really well. How do you find the car now after all that work? It's definitely running a lot smoother, I'm just happy with it, it's just a good peace of mind doing stuff like that on an RB. Because they can be unreliable if you don't look after them, so look after it and it'll take care of you sort of thing. You also changed the auxiliary belts as well. We did, yeah, a couple of them I'm afraid, we changed the auxiliary belts, we actually deleted the air con because it was just a really old system, I don't use it anyway, siphons a lot of power from the engine, you've got a sunroof, you've got windows, might as well use them. Yeah, exactly that, I mean, the radiator didn't look like it was working anytime soon, and the bracket and the pump, they just weigh a ton man, so yeah, we removed all of that, it looks a lot better in the engine bay as well. But yeah, literally, we've got Meister R's next, and then we're going to do a nice Geo on it, and that will transform the car. Lovely, lovely. But yeah, alright, let's get on the roads and see what this bad boy can do. Cool, let's do it. Alright guys, the Skyline, yeah, I mean, personally, yeah, big time. I mean they do, yeah, I mean, it's like an old BMW, you know, if you've got good fun, doesn't break the bank too much, you know, sometimes you get like, it's like trying to find the hold of it, there's nothing better. It took like five, six seconds to get there. Yeah, so like how you drove it before, this should be four times. Yeah, I feel like it's even more, but when it comes, yeah. Then the exhaust. Alright guys, well, high boost now, seriously, Luke's like, bro, for me to find a fully empty car. Guys, don't forget to like, share and subscribe, and I'll see you guys in the next video. Peace.
