15k will get u a good rb20det gtst with a usual mods... most probably an exhaust system and a pod in most cases.

contact the guys at www.j-spec.com.au and they should hook you up with one, or at least subscibe to their update emails, that way you can collect emails advertising em and you'll know roughly what to expect and what to pay for it.

if you're gettin a 32 get it fast, coz as of next montht he compliance price goes up by $2000 and you can no longer compliance any non stock cars : the former is defintely true, btu I think they're flexible on the latter.

if I were you i'd go for a R32 GTS4 (which is a GTSt with AWD like on the GTR) sorta like a halfway between a GTR and a GTSt, you should be able to get one for that price... and you'll definitely notice the difference.

OR wait till about halfway thru 2004 and you should be able to pick up a 1989 R32 (any model: GTS, GTSt, GTS4, GTR) for a cheap price, coz you don't have to comply 15 yr old cars.

Do a few Mods to it and expect to pay well over $3500 a year on insurance. So when u think about it in 4 - 5 years u will have bought another skyline with just Insurance money. Sports cars r not cheap so my advice is if u got no cash forget about moding it to heavy. On the other hand if u r not broke GO FULL HOG.

I would :]

As for choice of car an R33 GTS-t would be Bannana`s.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
