1996 R33 Skyline

[Pointy]

Hey all,

I'm new to this site so be nice, yeah?

I'm looking at buying a 1996 Nissan Skyline R33 as my first car, but wanted to clarify that it's not imported over. How would I check to see if it is?

Is it true that all skyline's from the 90's are imported over to Australia?

Sorry if a thread similar to this has already been posted previously.

Cheers,

Alexx

General rule skylines from late 80's to early 2000s' are imported, as they say the 'import scene'

So it's most likely to be an import?

How would I check if it is or not though?

Thanks for the information.

I'd start by posting your question in another section of the SAU forum. This here is the "classic" section, and most of us are firmly stuck in the 70's and 80's. I bet there's better answers waiting for you in the imported vehicles/r33 related areas of the site.

Cheers!

basically when a car is imported it needs to be complied to Australian standards and upon complying it a plate is placed in the engine bay saying its complied for the aussie roads

Sorry for posting it this section of the forum. I wasn't sure where to post.

To my knowledge and I can be corrected if I'm wrong, all R33 derivative Skylines were JDM low volume/grey imports.

Until the R35GTR I thought the R32GTR was the last Skyline imported by Nissan for domestic sale and it's these cars that were sold by Nissan in Australia that are holding their value.

I saw a really nice BNR32 GTR V-Spec up the north last week for just over $20000.00, being sold by Toyshop at Beresfield, just off the end of the F3.

Have I got this right?
