i know hes probably sprayed the chassis but there's no excuse not to have one. shame really he was considering it and its got some nice parts.

All Skylines 32-34 are imports, with the exception of the 100 (now substantially less) R32 GTRs that were Australian delivered. End of story.

i assume you mean the compliance plate, could be on the door sill, thats where mine is

ummmmm... hate to come off as "rude" or anything and trust me im not inteding to sound rude..

but like... at 60 grand worth of GTR and this much work on it... do you really think that it would be an un-complied car?

i mean, skylinesaustralia IS above all a community.. i would say there's a good chance the owner of that car is on here... and there's a good chance he may read this thread..

do you think he'd appreciate that someone is saying his car is "dodgy and questioning the legality of it?

loose lips sink ships.. and, being that it's not you buying nor selling the car.. i don't really think that it's .. (trying not to sound rude) but i don't see how it's any of your business...

furthermore - what is an "import sticker" - do you mean compliance plate? how do you know it doesn't have one? do you even know where to look? perhaps you should maybe ask questions before "assuming" it's a dodgy import..

oh and one more thing... these "dodgy R32's around" that you wonder if they're legal... care to elaborate on what you mean by that?

not at all mate though you cant take chances these days, if its been stolen from someone here that person would want to know about it right? this happened to a friend of ours once in that they bought the car and it had full rta papers, only thing is it wasnt the car on the papers and the car ended up getting confiscated and the person fled. no car and no money. i have advised my nephew to call the seller and get it worked out

in THAT case i understand :)

but the compliance plate (if that's what you're referring to) SHOULD be on eiter the firewall or the Bpillar passenger side door..

should most likely be a pink plate - but that all depends on when it was complied and by who etc...

all of these questions are REALLY best asked to the seller... he should be happy to help you out!!!

and for what it's worth... i (personally) doubt someone would be asking 60 grand for a stolen GTR that's hot... if it's stolen they probably want to get rid of it as quietly as possible :P

at least thats the way i do it when i steal and rebirth cars..

why is it that there would be substantially less ADM R32 GTR's....wouldnt they be rare and carefully looked after by owners??????

and how can you say something like that???? have you seen proof of written off, wrecked ADM 32GTR's

just wondering

Oh i'm sure there's been a substantial amount written off, i seem to recall hearing about at least one or two. Dig around on the forums and you'll probably find threads about even more.

They're not a young car and I have a family friend whom is high up in a prominent Nissan dealer who has lead me to believe this. However, it is heresay and conjecture.

Who is to say they were all carefully looked after? You see Bugatti Veyrons written off from time to time, shit happens.

Edit: when I say substantial, it can't be taken out of proportion. I believe there would be 75 or more still on the roads. Which is plausable. It might only be a small amount of cars, but when you only start off with 100, substantial can be only a handfull.

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
