I was thinking of waiting for the 15 year old rule to kick in for the R32GTR's. Sounds great but image how much these things are going to go up at the auctions as demand hot's up.

Some people have said they MAY end up costing as much as a 93 R32 model...

Guess I just wait and see.

Does anyone know if there are any differences between R32 model GTR's across the range? For example, how does an early model 89 compare to a late model 93? Any variations in engine, chassis, ATTESA, interior & other parts etc? I know the late model 94 V-Specs 1-2 have different components to the standard ones like wheels and the revised drivetrain, just wondering whether the GTR went through any mid-production facelifts on the standard model. Any help would be great coz i'm considering importing one , cheers.

i was thinking of going the same route, but im scared by the fact that im laying out around 20 grand for a car that i havent even seen, smelt, driven or inspected.

That puts me off from buying one. Its a risk, and most cars that are 15 years old in japan can be quite shitty, with rust and other things. Might be better just to buy one locally and pay the price for it (~25k for a local one )

Sure you can save 10k, but how much is it going to cost you and what if you bought a lemon. Also, storage in japan will be outside, not inside. Space is limited in japan, and the paint might be well and truly stuffed by then.

Ide love a GTR, it would compliment what i want to do with such a car (drift and track day race) but the risks are pretty severe if you get a lemon. 20k is a lot of money if you dont belive in loans and work your ass off for the cash.

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
