How about making sure this one has oil in it before you drive it.

cheerz fats... whats the conversion rate?... i had to do a rough estimate using US list price from around april... that's all i got on my desk here @ work...

6400 too much for an R32 GTR??? hmmm... i paid 17,250.00 for a fully complied (93) R32 GTS-t with a 2 year warranty and scheduled servicing.... hmmm.... 6400 sounds sweet to me...

DaiOni: cheers man, I honestly never realised they where that cheap... i think i'll have to save up and get one so i can start drifting (As i see drifting on public streets as just plain stupid)...

So, how much would it cost to bring one over? if i where to bring 2 over (me + a friend) would it cost less? (ie 2 cars in same boat = less fuss etc?)

if you don't want to post here and clutter up the thread with off-topic convo could you email me at [email protected] please as I have a whole heap of questions...

Thanks again dude.

Dave.

there can be some for 9. but who buys em no noe.  

ive got a friend in  yokahama area. he can get them real cheap.  mostly r32's are real cheap the rest would be expensive. since there is a 15year rule going on.

You should start your own importing business. You'd do really well

The Government has recently changed the 15 year old rule

You have to wait now unit the car is actually 15 yrs old

example

8/1989 model (when 32 gtr started)

you have to wait till august 2004 to import it.

There are some coming in January 2004, because people got in early for approval before the rules changed about 2 months ago.

This will try and stop a flood of cars in January

32 gtst

32 gtr

mx5

300zx

sw20 mr2 turbo

etc.

I paided 400000yen fob $6100aus. for my 95 gtst turbo manual 61,000 in nov 2002.

exchange rate was 68 yen/Aus$ at today's rate 79 yen $5063 save another $950

it cost me all up landed in Australia $9300

plus $2200 compliance plus tyres.

total cost $12,500 plus rego and tyres.

at the time you could not by a 95 for under $19-20,000.

If you can get a 32gtr for 500000 FOB (free on board which is export costs in japan.

total cost in Australia with modifications done which are required would be approx $11,500 plus rego.

That is a cheap GTR.

If you can get a invoice for less than you paided (say300000yen) you can save more by only paying 15% duty and 10% gst on the that amount

that will save another $600 approx.

For all the knockers out there you can get GTR for this price.

If you own a 32 gtr or any other car listed above, expect the price to drop heaps by the end of 2004.

A mate of mine is in Japan at the moment filling his next container, and can buy

GTIR pulsar and 33 4 door non turbo 32gtst, silvia/180sx from about 40,000yen ($500) un-damaged.

Hope this this helps.

    • I removed the head expecting to find broken and bent valves, but instead found number 1 at TDC and cylinder 2 at the top of its cylinder stroke as well, thought that was weird and proceeded to push cylinder 2 back down until it either bottomed out on its other piston half or the conrod either way we found the issue kind of,  now to remove the engine and see how the block looks, hopefully its just the top off a piston.  
    • A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.
    • FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.
    • One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.
    • Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.
