I am Sorry Peopel ... What I ment by Decent price is around the acceptable range comparing to a same age Ferrari I surpose ...

I am still trying to see what's available out there ... as I have not yet seen any of the Z Tune out for grabs so just asking if anyone saw it?

So ... From the sound of it Iron Chef would be able to source for one under half a Mil ... ^_^

KR4GTR, Thanks for the advise ... like I said I am still in the stage of looking around ... I have waited for years before I can actually say I finally got the Cash sitting in my bank to find the right car since Midnight last night ... Yeah! All my hard work for the past Few years had FINALLY Paid off!

Let us know if you found anything Decent out there ... as I will be buying one to keep forever, I would really like to get a Z Tune there seems to be none around! My second choice is to get one of the V Spec 2 Nur.

I know that Iron Chef (I think Kristian as I was told by my frends) has been busy with all these Import business too is on this Topic, Maybe he can also throwin some suggessions ^_^

I wish everyone on this Topic a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Mate you have to choose how much you want to spend first.

Vspec 2 nur is under a quarter of what a Ztune would cost, you would be able to buy a second hand 360 Fezza and a nur for Ztune money, I would still pic the Z-tune though.

Your choices of cars are a world apart in price and performance.

Had a quick look and I cant see any ztunes which are set to go through auction anytime soon, but as Huy mentioned - there are only a few of them floating around so you'll need to pay the premium.

I did however find these two nurs which are ready to send over, they might interest you. Remember on top of these prices you've still got the regular import / compliance / rego / maintenance costs - etc. :blink:

Hope this helps!

The guy who got me my Nur is in Japan at the moment looking at some cars. He showed me a few Nur's which were still quite pricey. One that stood out was a black Vspec II Nur with just over 5000km on the clock!

lol if someone wants to pay half a mil for a Z-Tune, believe me I will make it happen :blink:

I think the high prices being reached by low km Nurs at auction has raised the eyebrows of a few people, so there have been some mint ones going through lately.

Having said that, the end of the year is always a good time to snaffle some bargains - Andrew give me a buzz if you're in the market now. Maybe if your pockets are deep enough, you could buy a V-Spec II N1, they're rarer than Z-Tunes anyway :down:

Hey KR4-GTR,

Found something from Top-Secret if you fancy, but it's a R33 ... ^_^

http://cars.ebay.com.au/1997-Nissan-Skylin...emZ250446291118

Thanks for the previous 2 websites as I already checked them out ... to be Honest, there is one in Sydney which is also around slightly more then getting those 2 imported and complied as shown below:

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...id=11EFBDFD5780

Kristian, Thanks for the offer ... I believe owning a Z tune is a DREAM of Most Skyline Owners ... (Ps I am also unfortunately one of them)

Therefore I am looking more towards a Nur instead, I saw one in Bayside Blue in Adelaide, Does it belong to you?

As I am currently Looking around for a Bargain, therefore I will be looking getting one possible lower than a Decent price for a Nur ... If you got any that you felt it More than Value for Money, Please let me know as I am happy to wait as I have no rush looking for my Dream, Ps ... The longer it takes, the longer I have time to Save ... Hopefully getting my own Z Tune ^_^ otherwise snap up a Nur at a Bargain price.

If your looking for a bargain, check out the average condition 99 model vspec at e&m motors for only $70k! :ninja:

I was driving past today, curiosity got the better of me and i couldnt help but pop in to see how much more the exterior has deteriorated from taking the aussie weather 24/7.

Its been sitting outside for over a year and they are still not negotiable on the price. But wait theres more! Only 37000k's and log books to prove it (although when i asked to see the books - they couldnt provide, suprise suprise.)

Theres nothing i hate more than pressure, a very unnecessary sense of urgency and car sales men that wont shut the f**k up and leave you alone while browsing!

I went there ages ago pretending to be interested in that car. Those guys wouldnt leave me alone.

LOL ...

That's what Car Salesman does ... to make you wanna buy the car ...

KR4-GTR

I had seen a few bargains here and there but I am looking at getting a Nur for that Price ... or even lower ... ^_^

Although I must say it's a nice colour ... but I still prefer Bayside Blue

By the way I saw a Bayside Blue Vspec 2 Nur with no. plates CC625P from SA.

Anyone know the Owner?

Keep shopping around and im sure you'll find the car which is right for you :)

By the way, incase you didnt already know / just to clarify - that 33 GTR you showed me is from top secret performance in japan - however, they are actually a seperate company to 'top secret imports' - which is an australian based company specialising in bringing cars over from japan. :)

Go to http://www.topsecretimports.com.au for more info or to see their current stock list. If you want a vspec II or a Nur - that would be a special order.

Give Garry a call and he will look after you, his number is on their site.

thats cool.. when im like 40 something, paid off my house and hopefully have a shit load of cash. your the man im gona come to. i think a z tune and an N1 would be sitting pretty nice in my house :D

though, how rare are R32 n1's and R33 n1's?

Our uncle - wife side - owns the last of the Nur Spec II in the green. Over 60 years old, hardly ever drives it and probably looking to sell it soon. If anyone here is seriously interested in an immaculate, low kms one, please let me know. I am sure he is going to change again - before this, he had the original Vspec in bayside blue.

Fantastic thread. Some great reading and advice all in the one place.

I will be heading back to top secret imports to have a second look at a few cars within the next few days. ;)

Not quite as rare as the 34s but still very rare - 228 R32 N1s built and somewhere around 98 R33 N1s built.

How often do you see R32 N1s Kristian? Eventually when i'm in the market for a 32 GT-R, i'll be looking for an N1 (or V-Spec II)

    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
