Importing 89' GTR32

[kor_gtr32]

Hi, guys.

I am here to ask about 89' GTR/GTST 32 models, which i am planning to import with 15yrs importing rules in 2004.

Are there any big differences in 89' modles comparing to other 90' - 94' 32 models? (body shapes, interior, or external parts)

hmm.. 5months to waite before its allowed to be imported at present.. 5 months for legislation to change on the 15yrold imports..

i'd say dont waste your time, but im a naysayer and believe the ruling on 15yrold cars will change soon.

As far as my records show, the '89 GT-R (as you call it - the specification didn't change from 08/89 to 02/93 actually), and the '93-'94 GT-R (not V-Spec/V-Spec II) only differ in that the '93-'94's had an air-bag as an option, along with the White and Greyish Blue Metallic colour option for the '93, and '94, except the '94 dropped the Greyish Blue.

Now, your just talking about the plain-old;) GT-R aren't you? Not the V-Specs right?

As for the GTS-T Type M:

The 05/89 - 07/91's offered just the basic colour line up from the Skyline range, your reds, your blues, your silvers, your blacks (most popular) your dark greens, and your whites. It weighed 1260kg MT, 1280kg AT. Sunroof's were an option, as was air-con, so it's a mixed bag on what you'll get. Now, the big one: THE '89 - '91 Type M CAME WITH FRONT AND REAR STABILIZERS AS STANDARD.

The 08/91 - 10/92, and the 11/92 - 07/93 Type M don't differ too greatly except for some stupid colour differences that I cant be bothered pointing out, but the main things are: these cars are heavier than the '89, 1320kg MT and 1340kg AT, and that these cars didn't have front and rear stabilizers as standard.

So, to answer your question, No, there aren't any big differences between the model years, except for the '89 - '91 Type M with the stabilizers (thats why I got an '89 over a '90). But, obviously the GT-R's and the V-Specs are different, as is the GTS-T to the Type M.

i also think that this will be the case. either now, or possibly early Jan 04 is when i think it will happen.

does anybody know whether this is actually true?? or are you just naysaying 'cause you can?

so you're saying the stabalisers add an extra 40kg ? Which stablisers are you talking? anything special, or just your external stabliser bars.. able to be welded on for a few $100 ??

early 93 gtr's have a different gearbox than 89-92 gtr's. Thus explains why you have clutches push and pull.

Stabilizers... you mean swaybars. Are you telling me they didnt have swaybars as standard??? Or is it extra body re-inforcing?

[fatz]

i think the 93 model came with ful sik fluffy dice

were as the 89-92 that was optional

i have recently purchased a set to impress people into beliving i have a 93 model

pete

[Doctor]

And those dice say "Im a poof and loving it" on them dont they pete?

Listen you lot, stick your heads under a '89 and a '92 Type M and see for yourselves...

I didn't say the stabilizers add 40kgs... you did. I pointed out the difference in weight between the two. And there is a difference, if you'd be so kind as to weigh them for us.

If you guys are scratching your heads so much as to why there is a weight descrepancy, THINK ABOUT THE SIDE-INTRUSION BARS IN THE '92 MODEL... THINK ABOUT THE STANDARD AIR-CON IN THE '92 MODEL... Think about all the miriad little things that go into making an 80's car compliant in the 90's... I'm not gonna sit here and divulge all those little things so you lot can just shrug it off and say "he could be talking out his arse".

And another thing, they call 'em stabilizers here, so thats what I meant. I didn't mean "swaybar".

I wanna hotlink Car Sensors Type M page here to prove the stabilizer thing but I can't, it's all protected. Besides it's in Japanese...

I think predator was actually talking about the 15 yr rule when he made the naysaying comment

[Rezz]

Your right... I fully retract that comment, no offence predator666. I jumped the gun there! Thanks for bringing it to my attention Shell!

So whats a stabilizer then???

[predator]

yer yer.. i was just enquiring actually as to whether the extra weight was due to the swaybars or something else.. not questioning whether there was a weight difference!

and i was asking whether there was any evidence to suggest the government will change the 15 year rule within the next 6-12 months..

kor_gtr32 seems to be asking whether there was any obvious differences in regards to the engine, body or interior.. but it doesn't seem there is enough for it to be a significant difference .. case closed

lol at Roy.
