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!

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.

firstly thanks for the help.

he's off 2 c star trek at the mo so I'll give him a call when he gets back and fine out.

hopefully these pics can help in the interim

don't know if the pics posted or not. seemed to take an eternity to load???? not sure I did it right.

I can't quite make out if he's got the NISSAN Badge on the bonnet in the right hand pic. It looks as if it might!

VIN# check will prove it.

two brake lights and yes to badge.

^^^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 ! ! !

[smilingjack]

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.
