Does anyone know where to buy any genuine parts for a R32 in Japan.I plan on keeping mine and would like to buy stuff like original seat material and other bits that will eventually wear? Mines a Australian delivered one and there's not much difference to the Japan one.Thanks for any replies-Jim.

yahoo auctions is a good place to start...

some sponsors on here buy items there as a service for you I believe.

pm me if you like, I may be able to help.

Cheers,

Beau

for genuine parts the best place is nissan. nissan australia stock or order all the 32 GTR parts. i don't know about seat fabric though, don't think you can get that either here or in japan.

Insanity-i will pm you when i'm ready to get something.Genuine parts are starting to dry up.I ring my local Nissan dealer now and then for prices and they are expensive.Try $1200 for a steering wheel without horn centre or $1400 for bottom seat material per seat!My car is pretty neat.I bought it off the 65 year old original owner and has a bit over 28000 k's and is completely stock-down to the exhaust system.I get strange looks pulling up at lights as it's quiet as a mouse..Like i mentioned i will chase some bits eventually and thanks for the replies.

Wow, those Nissan AU prices are insane... I'm pretty sure they pluck some of those prices out of the air sometimes though. While I was in Australia I bought some stuff through the local Nissan dealer which were the same part numbers I had bought from Japan about 3 months earlier (for another car which was same model ECR33) and I got the quote which was exactly double what I paid for in Japan (which was about $110 difference!). I went back there to order the parts but before I did, I showed them the boxes from Nissan JP and the associated reciepts. They started to say all this BS about freight charges etc which totally went over my head and I asked for the 'real price' which they promptly knocked $70 off. I'm not sure if the bumped up the original quote because they were bored, or if it was a decision made by Nissan AU excecs to make more money... it was totally unfair and was the last time I ever bought stuff through Nissan AU.

In other words: Get stuff from Nissan Japan :P

Anyone can do it, you don't need to go through a certain shop or anything like that. Just ask any of the guys that are in Japan that send parts to AU.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
