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.

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
