Ok people here is some upto date information.

Dont bring them over and think you will get around it, its not worth the risk, the people at the pits have been upgraded too. (never thought they could upgrade criage, but even he is upgraded).

The safest way to get a worked car is find a well kept, showroom R32 89, so that the 15 year rule applies to it next year.

For R33 if the price works better for you from Japan , then get a standard R33 and a front cut of a worked R33.

It all depends on the moola you want to spend.

The only reason I'm ordering from Japan is because I've not found exactly what I want here in Perth.

I've also been looking at prices recently and I'm pretty sure it'll be $1,000/$2,000 cheaper to get it from Japan.

Regards,

Jason.

Keep looking here Jason.

That $1,000 to $2,000 will soon be gobbled up by "unforseen" costs and then some.

Not to mention the puss and pain you will have to go through under the new system.

Find a car in Japan today and you won't be driving it till november

Cheers

jason,

can buy mine if you like :P , it's totally stock 95' (last of the series 1). With the spare coin you save you can make it 'look' the way you want , including a series 2 front if that floats your boat and it will be fast, unlike the series 2's around. Good series 2's go for around $26K+.

or you can keep it as a 'sleeper', with the 11 second potential.

Jason,

It's been my work car for almost 3 years (reason for sale is tax man related). The maintence is regular and includes the gearbox and diff regularly, unlike most.

It's been to the drags 3 times in it's life. I'd love to take it for a 4th and borrow some street strip tyres for a few 11 second passes with the NOS kit. However the new owner will I'm sure.

I think if you do a search on my posts and threads both here and the performance section you will get an idea of the attitude I have towards the car. Also quite a few people on the W.A section know of me and my car. The worst thing you'll here is that I'm not after maintaining appearence , mechanicals are a different kettle of fish.

go here to continue looking at it. If your curious I can arrange a drive (without NOS ) so you can benchmark what a 'good' skyline should drive like, even if you don't want mine you will be able to measure others.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
