Experts!

An opportunity has arrived to purchase an OZ delivered 1991 BNR32 GTR. It has 70,000Ks, no mods and driven carefully by the original owner.

I’m presently driving a 170atwkw 98 WRX at the moment. What would I expect from this car and how many gorillas should I depart with?

Any help much appreciated.

TIA

I have a stock aus delivered GTR. Bought it with 108k 2.5 years ago for $31k. Added power FC, exhaust (front pipe back), bigger injectors, boost controller (run 1 bar) and it makes 227kw at all 4 wheels / 252kw at the rear wheels.

The car your looking at sounds very tidy, any pics?

Thanks for the reply "gtr fan". Pretty much want to keep it stock but maybe wheels, suspension and a brake upgrade for track work. When I see the car I will take pics and post them here.

Thanks again.

PS Did you replace the turbos?

No offence guys but I think you're off your f'n rocker modifying a "genuine" AUS delivered GT-R !!! All you could possibly do is decrease the true value of a collectable car. Why not just grab a must cheaper Jap import and mod the crap out of "it" instead ? Just my opinion ( but a strong one ).

FYI, about a year ago I was offered the purchase of Mark Skaife's personal Marone R32 GT-R V-Spec. The only reason I bring this up is that the price offered to me was $36K. It was of course immaculate and only had 17,000km on it with all the bells and whistles ( and of course, Mark Skaife's autograph on the coil cover ). I believe it sold for something like $38K.

I will keep all the original parts. Whats the problem with changing the suspension and wheels for light track work?

I think the price on these is going to keep rising as the 'rare' nature of them comes out.

There is also nothing wrong with doing the usual mods to them, considering returning it to standard is very easy and very cheap to do. The parts you change/upgrade aren't exclusive to the australian version.

Consider that there were only ever 50 of these made/sold. I remember hearing there was 100 and then I came across a dealer listing of all the 50 chassis numbers (which I have posted on my for sale thread on my sig below). Its a PDF doc, that every good skyline owner should keep so go ahead and download :)

There are quite alot of parts that are different on the Australian ones.That Document mentions only some and its quite a list.

It would be very easy to tell if its a genuine Aussie one just by cross refference to that PDF doc. The ariel in the roof is a giveaway as are the indicators on the sides of the fron guards and the nissan hamburger badge on the bonnet.

I have still got the leather bound manual and 'how to drive your GTR' booklet by richards and skaife.

I am selling mine for $28,000 ono and it's not real tidy to be honest and done almost 250,000kms.

Fair enough to mod the car with minor bolt-on replacement parts ( that you can swap back to stock later ) but I'm talking about changes to the actual / original car & engine etc. I would be looking for the most original GT-R if I was searching for an Aus delivered.

Well changing turbos, suspension, brakes etc are all fine not so noticeable mods and ......turbos ware out (why would you put stock ones back on), same with shocks.

Replacing worn out parts with OEM parts, is what retains the value of a collectible car. It's as simple as that :P

A guy I know in Melbourne owns a genuine D Type Jaguar in concourse condition and it has all genuine Jaguar parts fitted. He gets call after call with big $ offers because the car is so original.

Don't mean to sound like a knob but page 1 of the Australian Specification.pdf states that there were 50 units built 5/91 and another 50 built 8/91.

edit: It also makes no mention of a twin-plate clutch being fitted to Aus spec cars. :)

You are right, 100 total imported and sold by Nissan Oz to meet the then Group A homologation regs. To say anything else is just wrong and misleading.

I'll have to check about the twin plate clutch, but I don't believe that is the case.

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
