Theres no real 'tips' for the cars... Just test it like u would any other car and dont rush into buying one! main tip, dont buy a $15000 car if you have $15000... Make sure u have cash for servicing, repairs, insurance, rego etc....

If you search u will find lots of information, useful too... Main differences apart from looks that i know of are Airbag and ECU but u will find lots more in this topic...

As far as importers... Depends where u are located... In melbourne i would reccommend Kamikaze motors. but in the search option type 'importers' u will be sure to get a few topics.

The fact of giving someone your money and sayin buy me a nice skyline doesnt work that way...

U tell him what price range, year, colour, condtion, miles, accessories everything and he will find it... a lot of places will take a deposit, get what u want and then when it comes in you can say no if you are not happy with it.

Try looking in the importing section on the forum. I actually havnt looked there but sure to help u out.

Good luck with everything mate and have fun shopping

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
