Hi all. Thought i should introduce myself.

I new to the forum but have been living in Perth for about a year. Moved over from Adelaide.

Im looking at buying an R32 but need to sell my 2003 Hyundai Tiburon. (its not as bad as you probably think cause its a Hyundai!)

I have checked out a far bit of Perth, pretty much did a lot of it when we first moved over. It is definately different than Adelaide. Will admit that it has taken some time to get used to.

Havent seen too many Skylines recently, u guys must be everywhere im not!

Computer didnt let me finish typing.

What i was going to ask was, and it has probably been asked quite a lot already, but, would you import or buy a car that is already over here with a previous owner? Hoped that made sense.

I also go by the name MissDee but my real name is Danielle.

Hopefully when i get my Skyline i will get to meet some of you guys

Hey... welcome to the forums :banana:

Yea, buying a car here has its advantages cause you actually get to see the car in person. There are some very good importing companies though that will be a very good option too. It all comes down to, can you wait the 3 months it takes to get the car here from Japland. If you're thinking about importing, PM Mike aka MIKE_R32_GTR. He works for Blacksun Imports. Only heard good things from them and he helped me out. I'm sure he's lurking around here somewhere :P

got my car through Blacksun and couldn't be happier so definitely worth talking to them.

I also imported, i used j-spec which is also a very good company, although importing does take time but it makes you appreciated it so much more when it does arrive, i took the day off work just so i could pick it up and drive it all day long, after been at the pits for 3hours of course :P

Hey SCR34MR you got a sweet ride there. Im soooo jealous at the mo. Im hanging out for a Skyline but i will wait until the right one comes along. Dont wanna rush into it. But its hard seeing all your cars and me not having one yet, i know when the day comes to pick up my new baby it will be worth the wait.

Thanks to all who have welcomed me so far.

Now just need to find the right person to buy my car.... where could they be?! lol!

So where is the best place for a cruise?

Balga - Lockridge - Midvale - Armadale (especially West Armadale) - Parmelia and then end in Langford

A fun time will be had by all :(

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
