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.

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
