Hey Guys,

After accepting a job in Perth, I am now facing a HUGE lifestyle change, and have decided to sell up all my performance cars. So this is the sale of my beloved R32 Skyline with RB25DET powerplant. Well my skyline has been in long term storage, since late 2005 when the rb20 died. I privatly imported this car from Japan in 2004 for a close friend of mine, who drove the car for about 7 months in 2005 before the old rb20 blew a HG. After this happened we put the car into storage for an rb25 conversion, which we did, and then my friend lost interest in it, and i ended up buying the car from him. A further 8 months or so went by before i got around to re-installing the RB25 gearbox and finishing the conversion. Since then the car has continued in storage as i just havent had the funds nor time to re-register it. Now i am faced with moving to Perth, so i was gonna take her over, but have decided to sell up everything and move on. This car is currently not registered, but before my decision to move came about i was ppreparing it for rego, which meant installing a whole host of brand new parts (like new as in NEVER driven with). The car will be fully registered before ANY sale which happen early next week, as soon as i have time.

This is a 1989 R32 GTS-t TYPE M so has big brakes, factory sunroof and the other type m goodies. It has had a Series II RB25DET engine & gearbox conversion performed on it. The engine had 65000kms on it at time of install, and has not seen 2000kms since. It is also equipped with the Nylon-compressor wheel turbo, and is very very very responsive. Engine is in top condition, and has not been boosted above stock boost pressure.

Engine Mods:

- 1996 Series II RB25DET Engine & Gearbox Conversion, all professionally wired & everything on dash etc is interfaced

- Brand New GReddy Type M Intercooler kit with 600x300x70mm bar & plate core (bought from slide)

- Brand new 52mm thick custom alloy radiator with silicon hoses

- Brand new 3 inch stainless steel exhaust from cat back, very high quality & super quiet

- 3 inch mild steel dump pipe to cat

- 3 inch Stainless High flow x-force cat

- Some Japanese Brake Master Cylinder Stopper

- Bosch 044 Intank Fuel Pump

- Brand new Apexi Super Flow Air Filter

Suspension & Driveline:

- Bilstein adjustable coilovers all round, very stiff 9kg front and 7kg rear

- Custom 1 peice tailshaft, with XR8 uni joints to suit the rb25 gearbox

- Brand new exedy super heavy duty clutch

Body & Exterior(Besides facotry body kit):

- GTR Style front bar made for GTS-t

- Original Japanese rego sticker :):D

- R33 Stocko's in VGC

Interior:

- OEL Pillar Mounted Boost Gauge

- Pioneer Head unit

- 6 inch's in the rear parcel shelf, and pioneer 5x8's in the doors, sounds great!

- Nice Japanese brand steering wheel (caruso??)

- Standard interior in Great Condition!

- All Electrics work! no hack jobs here ;)

- A/C Hooked up to RB25, but needs a regas to work

Other:

- Car is FULLY engineered & Complied, and i have ALL paperwork & most receipts totalling in excess of $20,000

- Just had a service, fresh plugs and fresh Penrite Semi Synthetic oil

She starts & runs beautifully, and is a pleasure to drive. The Bilstein's offer a really firm ride, awesome for a bit of spirited driving.

Now, here are some not so great points about the car, bear in mind that these points & the fact i need to sell ASAP due to relocation the price is set accordingly. I am losing a stupid amount of money on this car, what i am selling it for is less than what the original imporation costs were. Points are:

- Old repair from Japan has stared to swell out of the LHS rear wheel arch, thought to be rust at first but has turned out to be an old fibreglass repair

- A few minor paint belmishes here and there, nothing out of the ordinary for 19 year old paint.

- Clutch throwout bearing has become a tad noisy (still opearates fine, prob just a bit tight from sitting for so long)

Price is $10,000 fully regoed

    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
