Hi all!

Since I last owned my 32 I have had a couple of 4WD's and a Harley. After recently getting married I have decided to get back to what I know and love.....SKYLINES Problem is I have been out of it for so long I don't know where to start.

Can you give me some suggestions for how, where etc I can get my hands on a tidy (stockish) R32 GTS-t.

Looking at spending around the 13k mark (see above...married) and am really not sure if there are dealers that sell them at this price or if there are guys on here who import for others to buy etc....

Basically I am super keen to get a 32 and need to act now while all parties involved are cool with the idea >_<

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, buying a car, modding it up and catching up with a few old friends.

I know of a Silver 89 GTS-t 5 speed that hasn't been complied yet , bought in under 15 year rule and is pretty much stock. Brad

Just talked to him and $12k for that 1 and he's got a Blue GTS-4 on the wharf at the moment as well .

Yes I got hitched :) The best thing I have ever done I must admit....being a girl you probably want pics kids are still a few years away, that's why I can buy a line rather than a van :D

Ahh.. one step ahead of you! I've already seen them, she looked gorgeous! And of course, you looked handsome.

Was going to ask you a few questions, I'll pm them :D

Good luck with getting a nice skyline, i hope it has the same standard as your last R32!

Hey boosty, still got those shirts with trust, hks, etc on them? They were tops :laugh:

Thought i was seeing things when slip came back too :D

Good luck finding one Cam

PS i knew you would be back

Hey Mick.....this is awesome :) Back in the day I had a really good idea about most of the regular contributors, who they were, what they drove, what sort of person they were.....all these names coming back, it's cool.....bringing back many memories.

You mean this shirt :D This is my mate Luke talking to "URMINE" from Sydney when he and a group came up for the Very first (rained out) Drag Combat. That was the shirt we made for our little Toowoomba group called DUEL....since disbanded.

Aaah yes i was thinking about duel after i made the post, and what did end up happening with urmine? His skyline got stolen and that was the last i heard i think.

Thanks for the pic they were the shirts i was talking about they were a good laugh back then, i have since matured somewhat :(

We should organise another skidpan event for the oldschool members, that was a good day.

Mick

Thanks to all the replys so far....so do any of you recomend any yards in brisbane or the coasts?? I don't have to buy from a yard but having some sort of warranty (however good) is always a bonus.

I guess the only issue with buying from a yard is you end up paying more than you should ??

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
