Yes i used to own a R32 GT-R , about 5 years ago.

i now have a R33 GT-R and R34 GT-R Vspec , the R32 i owned was 1991 and was "laggy" compared to my cars now if you know what i mean , when cornering understeer was happening whilst going fast around some turns if you know what i mean then id do a laggy powerslide ..

youll understand what i mean after you hop in a R33 GT-R and R34.

Thanks for the info, the reason i am asking is because this christmas the 1990 cars become eligable for import under the 15 year rule.

I just trying to decide on a car, can someone describe how they are and where should i look for a seller?

Thank you!

yeh id just buy a 1990 and wait till they are 15 years old since the 1989's arnt such a good build.

lwells think hes joking about the bad bild mate, they're all the same maybe trilabs doesn't realise the 32 started in 89.

your 32 understeered? wow!

i think most 89 were recalled a couple of times for various things ,attessa.big end prob`s oil pressure prob`s etc.. however they had everthing sorted by 1990 ...i remember reading that on a nissan web site somewherethey called it teething problems

i`m waiting to get the 1990 model ..just to be sure

In defence of the 89s if they've been recalled, then they've been fixed/sorted; unless you've found a particular example which has not been taken back for the work (which would be under Nissans warranty) which I'd say would be rare - given that infact; these issues/recalls existed.

I'd be wary of putting my money on bringing in a 1990 model under a 15 year rule in 2005, that rule may no longer exist, DOTARs has already made suggestions of this.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
