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...

looks hot. I was thinkin of buyin a car off these guys..

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

yes car has been resprayed fractory black colour i think it black pearl metalic

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 :)

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
