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.

dead right mate. yer there was 100 au delivered 32 gtr's. my mate currently has one locked away in his shed. id be suprised if there was 50 left though and the remaining ones probably wont come up for sale too often

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
