Congratulations to...

Aussie_Delivered_R32_GTR for its selection as the R32 GTR ADM representative at the GTR FESTIVAL in May.

Thanks Terry,

I'm really looking forward to this event.

Ironically the car hasn't been out since the 25th Anniversary in August 2014!

Fresh petrol won't hurt.

Bob.

That's great information - Thank You. I was a little suspicions as I also identified that the NSW registration history did not match their advertised story of the vehicle history. They may have an explanation for this though. But I am now better informed of the facts.

How did you know the exact month and colour? Is there a VIN code table that has a break down of the VIN layout and relevant codes so that they can be fully interpreted? I have tried to search to find it and haven't had much luck as there are too many references to VIN. :)

Thanks again

You need to find out more about how the car was imported; because nissan Oz was selling GTRs in 91/92 you can't import them yourself. About the only valid way for that car to be registered is if it was a Personal Import. Check the VIN with DOTARS to find out how it was complied.

I imported a 91 but it is only for race/rally use and can't be fully registered

Under the new rules you can't import them, but there are plenty of imports built around that time that are completely legal

link to proof? the rules have always been that low volume import is not possible when the manufacturer imports them. they can only come in:

Full homologation. Only nissan oz ever had this and only for 91/92 models.

1989 rule - was 15 year old until it was changed to stop all the post 1989 jap goodies coming in. Will become a 30 year old rule in 2019.

Personal import - if you can prove you owned it for 2 years (used to be 1) overseas

SEVS/RAWS etc if the manufacturer didn't import it at that time. So 89, 90, 93, 94 models are OK. 4 cars came in before 91 through scuderia veloce, the rest came in post 93.

Race/Rally - can't be registered except restricted/rally rego

Parts - has to be cut in half at a minimum.

Haha... And I think it'll be good to have "SAU" stickers on don't you (for MotiveDVD)?

we are talking about information that is now over 10 years old, but under the old system (green metal compliance plates) the rule stated the r32 skyline was eligible, which meant all variants and year models were eligible, just like the 300zx all turbo models were eligible

Under the new system that is not the case, you can only bring in year models that Australia did not sell new

Not exactly...........

The restricted R32's are only if manufactured between July 1 1991 and June 30 1992.

Consequently you could/can import them outside of these dates.

Cheers......... Bob.

under the new rule that is correct, under the old rule it was open slather

I finally found someone willing to lend me an ADM rear number plate infill panel.

Im already looking at getting some reproduced.

Would anyone be interested?

yuppp

Yes please

As soon as I firm up the prices and arrangements, ill let you guys know what is going on :)

The originals are made out of a thick rubbery kind of material, but the reproductions will be made from fiberglass, however carbon may be an option too.

I just put up an "EOI" in the group buy section for these number plate panel infill copies:

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
