Just saw this in the Trad Post (no its not my car). Is there that much difference between the original 100 Nissan Australia cars and the imports ?

NISSAN SKYLINE GTR 1991/1992, Australian Compliance, 1 of 100, 99800kms, burgundy, log books, VCW-065, $29500 or near offer EARLWOOD 0411-49 9799

This seems cheap, although the Kms are higher than some imports for similar money ?

I believe there wasn't much difference, the Aussie GTR got an oil cooler for the transfer case, and maybe an engine oil cooler but I'm not completely sure.

The Aussie delivered normally fetch a lot more than the imports. 2 weeks ago I saw a black R32 GTR at Peter Davey Toyota for $44950!!

MX8: another reason Aussie spec cars are often alot dearer is the history that comes with a locally sold vehicle. Most of the time you can get service history with aussie spec GTR's which is real peace of mind when you buying a hi performance car.

Also there *may* be a slight cost saving on insurances being locally delivered.

The extra cost usually associated with Aust delivered cars comes from them having service history etc too prove the amount of kms they have done. These KMS in this car are probably genuine where as you could add anything upto 100,000kms onto what an import says on the clock. I should know I looked at heaps and have bought one. Many of the imports said 70,000 kms on the clock. Yeah right. Lucky if they were 175000.

That is a cheap car for Aust delivery and if you are looking may be worth a look. Be careful though. A lot of people get into the 32 just being able to afford then and then something goes wrong and the extra $5-10K they cannot find.

The aerials on Oz Spec models are different to the imports as well. Australian delivered 32 GTR's have small external aerials mounted on the roof at the middle point apex of the front windscreen. Imported versions have built-in aerials. The only noticeable trait of these is when ur sitting in the car you can see a thin strip of line running vertically on the passenger side of the front windscreen.

My 32 has the roof mounted aerial also!! I dont know why its on there because the windsreen has the actual antenna in it. I think Mark Skaife has the number 1 of 100! Still having any aussie deliv GTR will up the price.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
