With the new laws coming in I suspect the market will fall out of the skylines in QLD.

this is a good point actually

it's amazing the amount of import yards that have opened up trying to get a piece of the action, even in coorparoo there's an old caryard that got revamped and now has skylines ahoy in it

all these crappy little businesses thought they had a goldmine, now it's about to go splat

i only hope that this doesn't make skylines a ton harder to buy in future, say if someone wanted to buy say a 32 for fun =P

You see R32 GTRs trying to sell for 18,500 and not selling... So yeah... luck :)

I was going to sell mine and get a R32 GTR... buy as it appears the efforts as most definately pointless.... So I shall keep my car and work on it :)

You could always try boostcruising (er...), performanceforums.org (I think... google performance forums with pages from australia only selected) and you could try nissansilvia.com, the trading post... I don't know anywhere else off the top of my head.

Good luck, you've got I want (R32 with R33 engine) but alas, can't get rid of mine :D

yeah good luck - the market has changed dramatically. I'm trying to sell my R33 GTR now. Makes it hard not many people want to pay 20 for a car that's 17 years old.

Now days its cheaper to buy a car here in oz than it is to import which sucks.

thanks for the input, ive chucked it on trading post and boostcruising as well as car sales now so here's hoping. I'm negtoiable but i do think it's a fair price if stock 32's go for around the high teens. I'm sure somone out there can see the value in my mods. If u think otherwise feel free to let me kno

rims, power fc + tune, z32's, brakes, clutch, rotars, ENGINE and alarm weren't cheap so whatever Einstein, you let me know. My numbers there if u wanna come round for a chat

Yeah good luck on the sale. Skylines are near impossible to get rid of atm. And you have to remember mods are worth nothing on a cars resale. I spent close on the value of your 32 on Mods on my 33 GTR, quality mods too fixing all the GTR weaknesses, ie; suspension, brakes, cooling, oil supply issues etc. . . . plus some HP mods and I still ended up losing $15K on the original cost of importing the thing stock when I sold it! Not even including the cost of modding it aswell! So yeah, chances are you will have to bite the bullet and loose the money if you want to move it, or as said earlier own it for a long long time and get your $$s worth.

Keep it, that is what I have decided to do. Just did the suspension and brakes (engie rebuild, computer zort already done) now the intercooler and then I will just drive it.

Might as well enjoy my moniesworth instead of flogging it off for something that I don't really need anyway...

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
