Hey, Ive been looking at buying an 92-93 R32 GTSt for about 4 months now, I really wont a car thats 5speed with a sunroof, not too modded. Ive got aroung 15k.

Ive had 2 cars inspected by RACV/NRMA, one had major structural damage, the other was good but the motor blew up the day after the test was done!

Ive also offered money on 2 others but no one is willing to sell with RWC.

My question is: Where are all the R32's? Why arent there any for sale? I thought it would be the perfect time to sell-as of next year '89 cars will be 5k cheaper than '92-93 cars, no one will want later models anymore.

If anyone knows of any cars that match the description Ive given, preferably white, please post or pm me. Must be willing to sell with RWC.

Thanks, sorry to vent my frustration online,

Rhett

There have been a few decent ones around..but a lot seem to be interstate.. when it comes to the right car.. a $300 airfare doesn't seem so bad, especially if you can get most of the details sorted with the buyer before you actually take the plunge.

I bought my car from Mildura :D

woaa... lucky you had those tests done..What about importing directly? You should be able to pick one up for well under $15k.. with a few $k to spare, which would be enough to replace a few major things if it came to worse

the other was good but the motor blew up the day after the test was done!

Yer but they passed it ...and *then* the motor blew up.. go figure. 50% success rate on their car inspections... you'd be happy with those odds wouldn't you xRHETTx? :D

You're best off taking the 32 to a garage and getting it checked out by somebody who works on skylines everyday. RACV don't know crap about imports.

LOL surprising RACV actually found a problem with a car which wasent superficial!!

The racv inspected a car for me which is currently 4 sale at JSV in Thomastown, they said the car had been ina major accident, it even had a 10litre dint in the fuel tank! No wonder they were very anti me getting the test done. So 1 point to RACV.

The other car i had inspected was for sale in Sydney therefore NRMA inspected it. They gave the car the thumbs up (even though they dont do a compression test, and would not, even for extra money, unlike RACV). So i negotiated a price, booked my flight and the nest day the crankshaft/piston/etc were fuct, car wouldnt even start apparently. Lucky i hadnt paid for it yet.

Meggala, u already offered me ur car a while ago, but since u have done the conversion now and no a/c ill say no thanks.

Inark, really want a white car with sunroof, so no thanks either.

Does anyone know if RAWS compliance is available yet in Vic for R32 GTSt? I think i might have to import, to get the car that i want. Id rather a 93 car than an 89 coz of it would be a bit newer, and i wouldnt have to wait too long.

I dont mind travelling, but now ive spent $500 on inspections and lost another $120 for an airfare coz they dont refund.:D

Speak to Craig at J-spec .. he should be able to give you a good rundown of what is happening, how long it will take to import, and will give you answers 5 times quicker than 20 of us can give you :D the number is 0400 502 250 or www.j-spec.com.au

They are well regarded...

Yeah Inark, have already seen that car on the mailing list. Its awesome, but I really dont want to have to wait til next year for a car. But someone should buy that car!!!

Dean from UPI said 4-6 weeks for compliance for R32's.

Will have to sell the R31, but id love a GTSR once im rich and famous and can afford to have more than one car. :cool:

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
