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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      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)
