Dear SAU members.

I am interested in setting seeing/contributing to an on-line registry of rare Skylines in Australia and potentially o/seas, similar to other on-line registries of rare models, and am keen to see how much interest there is with members here, and also if it is possible to make this part of the SAU site itself.

For example, there were 228 R32 N1 cars built. I know of one in Australia (mine), and I am aware that someone was trying to pass off a normal GTR as an N1 car on carsales.com.au recently. In this case it would help potential buyers to see a registry of these cars e.g

  1. specifications
  2. built numbers
  3. VIN numbers of "registered" cars
  4. pictures of cars
  5. history for each car
  6. info on who owns them (subject to how willing the owners are to share than info)

Potential models included in the "Rare Skyline Registry" would be:

  1. R31 GTS-R
  2. R32 N1
  3. R32 Nismo
  4. R34 Nur

I am sure there are some other rare models e.g. wasn't there are rare R33 with higher displacement?

Ok, so what is the next steps?

I'd like to see the register as a section of SAU. It would have the following:

  1. List of eligible rare Skyline models including history and technical specs on each
  2. Register section where owners submit details of their cars
  3. Search capability

So who wants to take the lead on getting this set up? I am happy to coordinate the information gathering, but I have no idea on how to get the SAU side of things set up.

Haven't met anyone else in Australia who owns one... so its sorta rare... even though it's just a late model R32 GTS non turbo with extra options.

Well better put my hand up here and get this post rolling.

My name is Alan and I am in Katherine in the NT.

Have a R31 GTS 2 Build numder 166 at this stage.

3 rd owner and love the damm thing, big time.....

Can't get any rearer than this,

The R31 Skyline Club has register of both GTS 1 and GTS2 as you are most likely aware by now.

Will post a picture of her in her hey day,

Damm I will miss her when she goes. But thas life......

My brother has arguably the only genuine R31 GTS-R (everyone is yet to show me another real one) in WA. VIN number checked through and all is genuine.

Will find out more.

Sorry, but Jim Richards won the ATCC in 1990 in a genuine GTS-R HR31 and I think that car is in the Terry Ashwood stables.

So I guess that makes 2 and I'm sure there is more and a quick search in R31.com will find more, I'm sure.

Something interesting about WA though.

Some time back a female opened a thread stating she had a genuine R30 GTR, but when asked for proof and photographs, we got zero response and that particular thread died a painful death.

Cheers, D

i wonder if my 1966 Prince Skyline GT-B would come in to this catogery? its one of only 290 that made it to australia in the 60's and one of only a handfull that still surviving and driven around.....

afaik, the atcc cars HR31's were bare-shells to start, no chassis number/registration numbers marking them as GTS-R's.

(feel free to correct me if you know otherwise, i jus remember readin that some time ago.)

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
