Buying 15 y.o. R32 GT-R's...


Recommended Posts

Obviously 1989 models are now coming up for sale.

So what do you think about these? I would imagine these would have be close to stock after May but still.

Maybe 1990/1992 models will be coming up soon next year. They certainly will not be a cheap car to run but certainly fun.

I am wondering :D

15 yo rule has nothin to do with what SEVS is implementing. Meaning u can import a car with wateva mods u want, they dont need to be destroyed, and ur only concern is small things like changing seatbelts, mirrors, and installing side intrusion bars if needed. Once that is done, u need to make sure the car is roadworthy and will pass through your govts car centre place (ie Adelaide = regency.)

Hope that clears up a bit for you.

Oh and 89 GTRs are horn. Wait for a heaps modded one and u should get it real cheap. Somethin in Bayside Blue would look awesome. Imagine it.

I got an email on them. Apparently you can purchase one now and put it in storage until the 1st Jan 2004. I know next year what I'll be owning. the one I got emailed about was going to cost 21 landed and ready to register. Was pretty done up too.

yup u can bring one over now if u like and when it comes to exactly 15yrs from the date that the car was made,u can get it complied/ Engineered. Or u could get it now,do all the work needed to get it passed,then once its time all u have to do is take it there,get it ticked off and off ya go :D

if i see one for cheap im gonna get one,but i just want a normal turbo,cause i just want rwd

Wat ken is sayin is that U CANNOT bring in a 15 yo car now if its a 89 GTR for example. U have to wait until the beginning of next year, then submit ur DOTRS import approval and tick 15 or older car.

U cannot simply bring the car here now, and get the car ticked off when its 15 y.o

So yehs i agree with Ken, know ur facts before u post somethin

Ken, it was there...but that price (approx $14,900) was the cost all-up to get it over here (excluding ORC)...

oh and also excluding a "small storage fee" to keep it in Japan till next year so it's eligible under the 15y.o. scheme...

still cost you 2000 to get it complied, engineered

also 14k is a great price for the first month(so you pay17k on the road)

until you factor in the engine rebuild 7-10k

then you might realise wat value this car actually is

with the rebuild you have paid 25-27k (for a 89 model form jap)

then the price seems about right

oh sorry i was under the impression that u could do that, my car came under the 15yr rule when i privately imported it, what if u imported under the rule if u own it for a year in japan? im sure theres a way todo it?

low lux, i think that rule only applys if you live there and use the car, not own it and put it in storage...

    • Y'know what, after reading a topic on a 360kw build using a nistune (who ended up going LINK), im now considering a LINK over a nistune. The engine protection alone would probably be worth it. And id like to learn to tune so would be nice to have that safe guard. Which means i probably wont need a boost controller then, or the R35 MAF.  Becoming a bit of a blog now but oh wells. As mentioned previously, the goal is around 300kw, for a daily driver. Will be looking at fitting a highflow turbo or similar (something that doesnt require downpipes, manifolds etc to be changed out) when the current stock gives out or the money for it is there. 
    • Thanks guys. Are you meant to tighten the converter bolts through the starter motor hole? Think my plate between gearbox and engine is one piece. Im heading up there tomorrow.
    • Picked my tailshaft up yesterday arv!! Test fit it and because they've gone to a ford centre bearing and CV I had to modify the mounting bracket a little bit. 5mm of each side and she went up into position and fits well. It has a 1350 uni and flange on the gearbox end so it should be plenty strong!  Got stuck in this morning and started on the wiring mess. Cut out all the wires not required that go to the body connector and cut the engine harness out. Need to go through and work out which ones I need to keep and rewire into the new ecu. Should save a small amount of weight as well. I'd love to get in and rip the dash and everything out to completely remove wiring but cbf.  Next up was the power harness for alternator, starter etc. It has a few connectors from factory that run out of it. Cut it all apart and removed what was no longer required and put some new corro and taped it all back up and bolted it all back into place.  After that I worked out where I can mount the new flex sensor. Found a couple of factory bolt holes and drilled a new hole on the bracket to suit. Need to go get a few fittings and adapters tomorrow so I can keep going.   
    • Nah, im after the more newer looking, one with the OLED display
    • We revised the neutral wire instructions. The old way was wrong.  R34 gearbox change.pdf
