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

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.

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.

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:

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
