G'day all at skylines australia.

Hi im new to the forum and the import car scene so i apologise for any silly questions in advance, after many years of tossing up "should I, shouldn't I, that will hurt the budget," I finally bit the bullet and bought a 1993 R32 gtst. I love the car, looks good, sounds great and goes really well (so my last car was a nissan micra 55kw, hardcore!) and thankfully I managed to find a good condition 32. But unfortunately it needs some replacement parts (only lil things), and as all of you probably already know autobarn, repco and supercheap are only any good for performance upgrades (if you like cheap no name parts). So my question is if I am looking for standard replacement auto parts for skylines, where in the northern side of Brisbane do i need to look? who can i find who sells them?

howdy mate, good to hear that you jumped a good 100kw

i have found that if you are looking for parts checking out the traders on the forum (the actual shops) is a great place to start, then post in the wanted forum and see if anyone has the part, often people buy parts for thier rides and never get to putting them on so just wanna sell them, which means cheap good new/near new parts for you. also there is the private sales area have search there for parts,

youll find that the SAU community is very friendly and its oftern cheaper to get from them, win win they say,

all the best, hopw you enjoy the 32

    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
