First off I tried searching, checked the first few pages and found nothing, but I wasn't goin to look through 49 pages worth.

Anyway my question is basically what years did Nissan manufacture the R32 in a 4 door version?

I've noticed mainly 1989 models, which turns me off a little bit as thats now a 20 year old car. Searching carsales I noticed one 1990 model and one 1991 model, since these were the first I've seen, I wasn't sure f it was a typo or not.

So basically just after a little bit of history here, I'm sure there's some Skyline history people out there who know exactly what I want to know.

Thanks, Tom.

PS I am just asking as 4 door R32's have always been one of my favourites, and I am considering selling my 180SX to find a good one (with hopefully some cash for rims/coilovers, stock 180SX sucks haha).

The r32 my engine was out of was a 92 or a 93 rb25de :P

Uh, ok, but I'm asking about production.

89-94 as far as im aware

Really? I thought the 2 door was manufactured 89-93 and the GTR went the extra year from 89 to 94. I've mainly noticed 89 4 door models and as I said the one 90 and one 91 models.

Some applications on the net like carsales and ammi don't recognise the 1989 skyline as an r32, only an r31. This is because the r32 started production in 1989 while they were still running the r31.

So I guess they just decided to change the r32's starting year to 1990 so it wouldnt be confusing...

As for being 20 years old..ask any skyline owner what kind of shape their car was in from import and I'm pretty sure everyone will say great. Japan has a turn over of their cars every 5 years to keep their economy booming, they raise the tax or something on old cars so its cheaper to buy a new car than keep the old one. Japan doesn't wnt them so thats why they get imported here. I've had my 1989 gts-t 4door for a month, I'm the second australian owner and I got it with 104,000km.

It's very rare to find a skyline thats got alot of k's on it. Finding a late 90's model holden with that low k's is pretty hard. It's only when you're looking at a skyline thats been owned by an aussie that you need to watch out for - in the sense of driving conditions here compared to japan.

Good luck car searching. r32's are the hottest looking skyline :D

Just found this forum aswell...

OH YOUNG GRASSHOPPER. YOU HAVE MUCH TO LEARN!!!!

Do you honestly think a 20 year old car has only done 70-120,000kms... Oh you make me laugh..

Let me spell it out for you. Rolling back odometers... I have been involved in the used car industry both local cars and imports.. All I can say is, if you live by your words quoted and you buy a car based off kms... Then god so help you sunshine.

For disclaimers sake. I no longer work in such a shady industry! So please no flaming!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
