I have just started looking for my dream car, an R32 GTR. I was about 18 when they first came to Bathurst and conquered. Could anyone point me in the direction of a good importer or dealer that they have had dealings with. Also any tips on what to look out for would be appreciated.

There are some really nice ones already here in aus. Ranging from 20ish to 32 ish the more you spend the more you get. Ask yourself if your prepared to spend some on bs as when a car would come over id say heaps could be wrong with it.

If i were going for a gtr, id look for one here in SA (try the forums) as i could look it over, and see if it had a service history. Ie buy a car someones weeded out all the problems a 10+ yo car could have and fixed already.

Nice other car too...go the torrie :O

Try J-spec on here...have heard nothing but good stuff

Good work mate... I was in the same boat too having grown up watching 'em destroy all at bathurst etc.

I bought mine a couple of months ago from brisbane... flew up, checked it over drove it home. Watch out for lots of thrashed out 89 models as engine work can be expensive. Mine is a '93 with documented history. Also check out the ones for sale on this forum as generally the enthusiasts look after their machines.

It took me a couple of months to find the right one... found it on carsales.com. You will know the right one when you see it.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
