I'm actually a forester driver but my father in law (not internet savvy) is curious about info on his original import r32 so here I am.

Hopefully you guys can help him out.

He has the first one delivered in qld and given an in car demo by jim richards.

We are trying to get the exact model sorted. It's not one of the grey ones and we can't figure out if it's got the n1 engine? It always been serviced by the original nissan dealer that sold it to him and even they can't come up with what number it is of the original 100 imported - but are still trying.

Any help in identifying exact model would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

Howdy & enjoy the forum. Ask your father-in-law to do his own dirty work haha.

After all, he's probably younger than I.

And I'm just younger than Jim.

So there!

Just search thru' the subforums until you find the thread that says, "VINS FASTED" and post up your father-in-law's VIN#

The answer will come back like a boomerang! :blink:

Yep! I've just noticed that you've posted up in the correct thread!

Does his car have a Nissan badge on the front of the bonnet?

Does his head unit seem to be Aussie Spec?

When his brake lights come on, are there 4 lights showing or two?

PM me if you like.

^^^Until your VIN is FASTED,...

From what you're telling me,

IT LOOKS REALLY, AS IF YOUR FATHER-IN-LAW HAS AN AUSSIE SPEC R32 GT-R :)

IT IS A COLLECTIBLE!

DO NOT EVER SELL THIS FOR LESS THAN WHAT IT'S WORTH!

ONE IN W.A. HAD A PRICE TAG OF $65K THIS YEAR!

CHANNEL 7 WILL BE RELEASING A SPECIAL ON COLLECTIBLE CARS AND ONE OF THESE R32 GT-Rs WILL BE FEATURED!

YES 1000 OF THESE GODZILLAS WERE TO BE SOLD IN OZ> IRONICALLY, NISSAN MOTOR CO (Australia) COULD NOT SELL THEM ALL,

ESPECIALLY AT THAT PRICE TAG. BIG BUCKS THEN > BUT THE VALUE IS GOING NORTH RIGHT NOW ! ! !

it's definately the real deal. he has the pics of him mark skaife and jim richards together taking delivery with a signed picture.

a mate of his owns an exhaust shop and bought an import recently and wanted to copy the exhaust from my father in laws car. on the hoist the 2 cars were very different underneath.

I'm keen to hear back on the vin info now.

cheers.

      The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.

      But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...

      I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference

      I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:

      Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
