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.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
