That's actually not bad for a 2+2 S30... although that's probably the money shot. Wonder what it looks like from the back. S30 fastback FTW. I'd take one of those over a GTR anyday.

Tim, the OP's got $20K to burn, so you're pretty much guaranteed he's gonna end up with a 20 year old car that came in under the 15 year rule that was once owned by a 17 year old.

How much $ would you spend for a good r32?

How much $ would you spend for a good r32?

personally, a nice mint condition 92-94 R32 GTR (preferably a V Spec or V Spec II.... stay clear of N1's) freshly imported under SEVS and budget about 23k for the car only (not including rego, insurance etc). Being a SEVS import you'll have the ease of mind that it's been freshly complied and inspected and have the option of getting up to 3 years warranty on it (using a 3rd party, at extra cost).

yeah your easily looking at >20k absolute minimum for a decent one landed in aus, then you got every other expense on top

id import one as clean stock ones are becoming a rarity to find locally in aus

^also jamie, that is probs the mintest 2+2's iv seen

Someone from uni bought a cheap 300zx for $3.5k, had electrical wiring issue, was fixed & it ran fine after that.

& no engine out was required, everything else out instead...

No engine out? = Engine out!

it's in a permanent state of engine out lol.

nissan should supply 300zx's from factory with the engine out to save people the time fucking around taking it out on delivery to change the oil filter.

No engine out? = Engine out!

the alternative to engine out is to strip the car to a bare shell leaving only the engine in. it sounds like this guy took that option without realising it was the worst of the 2 options, as you are often then still required to remove the engine a few times to take out multiple components in the process

Buy this Zed instead!

:thumbsup:

I use to own that zed when it was stock as a rock. I sold it on ebay 7 or so years ago and shiped it to Europe. The only reason i sold it was to buy an r32. that was a silly move. It didnt take long for me to get bored of the r32 and sell it to buy a 240z. Now i have the best of both worlds. A 240z with an rb20det

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
