hey guys i finally have a skyline after almost two years i finally got fed up of looking for one and got it ;) lol.. it was either this or wait a about 12 months for a 34, i really didnt want to wait any longer and ive always been looking for a 32 like this so when it came up i went and had a look, the only thing is it is stock as a rock which i think is a good thing..

>Its a '92 R32 gts-t

>86,... kms

>coupe

>manual

>black

I bought it on saturday from a place called japcar on sydney rd(anyone dealt with them??), i went there about 4 times to look at this car and on the 4th i got it, it looks very tidy and it drives really smooth. it should be ready in about two weeks because he said he has to get a compliance plate for it (i thought this should have been done already), and then book it in to be registered at vicroads.

So for now i guess i just have to play the waiting game...

and look for an alarm/immobaliser that works well with a TT, and insurance, sound system, wheels, exhaust, suspension omg so much to do anyway we'll see what happens 1 mod at a time.

Just thought i'd share the good news and show some pics.

Another addition to the black R32 Brotherhood! Join up SAU vic and enjoy the benifits!

It's not unusual that dealers and private importers will wait until they have a buyer until they do compliance. Otherwise they have more money tied up with a car that is just sitting in a yard...

Cars are usually resprayed I would say, and for standard cars they are a little pricey but if ya car looks that mint then its worth it.

exactly, it was a bit considering its stock but it looks damn good and if it doesnt give me much trouble then i cant complain but we'll see when i get it hey

all their cars are respays some same as oringinal some comletely different colour like a couple blue 32s he had

Come to the meet anyways :)

My advice when you get the car, is book a full service on it asap. Get all the oils replaced with new quality stuff. My gearbox was running fine in the first 2 weeks and then started to crap down. Probably didn't have gearbox oil change since Japan

Get fuel filter changed, afm checked/cleaned, o2 sensor checked/changed, spark plugs checked/changed etc

Hope to see it at many sau-vic events :)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • 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.
