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.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Was the failed sensor by any chance this one? Did it just fail or start pissing on itself? I ordered one too, for fuel pressure monitoring, and now I am hesitant to put it in, hehe. Where did you find a brand one?

      You'd be insane, when a brand new 8HP is ~$4k, and all the work to put a 6 in would cost the same as an 8 and the 8 is a completely established swap. If you think that getting a cheap Falcon box is going to make it a cost effective exercise, then you're not accounting for the extra $10-15k that the task will consume.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.

      Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
