It may have been purchased brand new form Japan but I very much doubt it was delivered by Nissan Aus.

nissan aust only delivered limited numbers with the r32 which most of us proudly own in this thread - my brothers gtr is an odd 1 though...its an 89 r32gtr which was in fact sold here in aust as a 'low volume import' by scuderia in vic (his is numbered 001 of only 6 units). it was held in the scuderia showroom for a number of years then sold to its 1st owner in march 91 here in syd to a high profile individual.

no, no its not.

makes me proud to have a silver gtr :)

you can hear some turbo shuffle just like mine!

OK, it must be the red one that my old GTR donated its parts to.

i wouldn't want to be the owner of an ADM gtr with swapped out parts - that would piss me off as a buyer (but thats just me)

Which, will all due respect, makes your bro's car a grey import just like any other.

There were several businesses doing similar things in the early nineties, I recall new Soarers for $150k and new supras for $180k! lol Those vehicles aren't worth any more than any other.

that is interesting as i thought if it was sold here in aust as a local car - it would be worth more than an import, due to its local service history (similar to an ADM gtr)?

oh well, makes my gtr better than his :)

Nah, it was the simple things like rocker covers, valley covers, cam covers and the other bits and pieces that he needed.

Funded my first trip to Jap and the first container back, well worth it.

Late comer onto this thread. Haven't been on SAU for a while now.

Here's my OZ R32.

Black.

102,000km

Unsure to whom and where it was sold to originally. Nothing written in the books ???

VIN:15973

Believe to be owner or raced by Kevin Bartlett at some stage. Not sure if that was just a sale pitch form the guy I bought it from (sounded good at the time). If any one can shed a bit of light on that subject would be good. It has definitely been raced at some stage of its life as it has a number of holes in the body which would indicate a role cage.

I've had it for nearly 8 yrs now and still have a huge grin from ear to ear after driving it.

hi craig,

nice gtr!

as per your sig, can u enlighten me on your 2 stroke making 8000hp :)

i used to luv my 2 stroke race bikes (rgv & rs250)

Used to work for a Oil and gas company that used to use what are called 12V149 Detriot diesels as big water pumps. Sound fantastic when they working hard. 12V meaning V 12 engine. 149 being. 149 cubic inch per cylinder. Big. Use huge amounts of fuel. and leave you with smile a mile wide.

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
