1989 Skyline Gtr

[m3gtr]

If i am correct the 1989 GTR comes in under the 15 year rule. Is this true?

[_8OO5TED_]

yes, but the 15yo rule no longer exists, and hasnt for quite a while now.

[neil_se]

15 year old rule died long ago.

[NXTIME]

The 15 year rule has been replaced by the pre-1989 rule: that means no early GTR's, no 300zx's etc unless they are imported under the stricter SEVS rules.

the 15yo rule has been ammended. It's now restricted to cars made in 1988 or older. and unlike before it doesn't tick forward each year. it's fixed at 1988 although in a few years they are going to push it back further still.

R32 GTR IS elligible for SEVS though and compliance is not too expensive anymore so 32s are still viable. BUT you'd be better off with a nice V Spec or V Spec II or at least a late 93 or 94 model (post model change). They will fetch more $$ over here.

[Beer Baron]

Mr Baron...can you elaborate on this please...i thought R32 were not made after 93, and Vspec ones are like rare as hell to source from Jap Land......Interested myself (Yet to sell the idea to GF with much sucess howver )

And what do you mean by POST model change ?

R32 GT-R's (As opposed to GTS-T's & other models) were made into 94.

There were a couple of minor updates during the model cycle, the second being the more significant. These cars carry the BNR-3***** build numbers.

Yes, V-spec's are available but will cost you quite a bit of extra coin. IMHO there are not worth the extra asking price....

yes Vspec is rare and more expensive, but they will hold value pretty well. as will any late model. yes there are R32 GTR 94 models available as djr81 stated they made GTRs into 1994 even though they were already making R33 GTST. basically when talking R32 GTR there are two main types. pre-model change and post model change. mid 93 they performed a few minor upgrades. different crank oil pump drive and a few small updates (33GTR style gearbox with pull type clutch etc). The V spec models also have Brembo brakes and different style BBS wheels (and in 17X9 instead of 16X8) plus an upgraded ATTESA computer and an ALSD plus different suspension.
