Hi Everyone.

Some of you may remember this r32. It was for sale a few months ago. I imported the car my self, and unfortunatly it failed compliance due to the 'jacking points' being pushed in more then 20mm. This could have been caused from a number of things, my guess is the car forlifts in japan. The workshop i was using has been shut down, and now im stuck with a car that cannot be 'legally' complied registered.

Everything else about the car is perfect. It drives excellently, it has the power that it should have and it is clean, inside and out.

It is totally ridiculas, but im not going to get into that here because i could go on complaining and winging for ever. Yes i've lost alot of money, and yes i've thought about wrecking it. All because the jacking points were pushed in 2mm more then what is allowed. But i've moved on from cars now and i'm just going to cut my losses and sell it as is.

Basically, the car is is in very good condition. Hard to believe for a car that got rejected hey? The motor is in perfect (82,000kms on clock) and the gearbox is tight and the clutch is bouncy and fresh. The car was resprayed Gold in japan. It is very tidy inside and out, and looks great as you can see from the pics.

All the compliance work has been carried out on this car (full service etc, even though it isn't complied) and i've driven this car about 500kms, just on a dealer plate and had no problems what so ever.

Its a Gold 1990, r32 Gts-t Type M

Manual

Turbo

Aftermarket suspension

The steering wheel was returned to stock as well as the gearknob.

The exhaust, podfilter, gage and turbo timer have been removed, and i will be removing the cd player and radio.

I'm after $5500

Any questions etc, just post, or email at [email protected] or call on 0422373164

Regards

Mondial

mate the easiest way would be to part it out.

r32's are getting old so a lot of things would need replacing on them.

although it would be a shame to see such a nice car being wrecked, but whatyado

good luck

My worst nightmare...compliance...sorry to hear about your bad luck...

Where bouts u located? (if its there i must be blind...)

Yes this car can be used for whatever you want, just not on the road.

You only get one chance at compliance, if it doesnt pass, it doesnt pass.

thats so unfair. Surely you couldn't have the points super reinforced or something, then go back to a different engineer, it would probably be stronger than it ever was, and worthy of ADR's.. I would think.

Also can you claim anything throught the shipping insurance, or hold the car yard responsible perhaps?

    • 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.
