Well just at a glance, compared to mine,

its got a body kit thats not mentioned in the ad,

Indicators on the guards, i dont have,

Wheres the import plate and build plate? they should be there on the firewall but there not. so it could be really dodgy.

Speedo numbers are wonky, so the k's are whatever, who knows.

Another indication of lots of kay's is the seats were replaced with unworn ones, and the gearshift and handbrake boots.

I bouhgt a 12 year old volvo with 200,000 kay's and the interior is like new, so.... heaps of stuff will need replacing on an old 32

How old are they now, 22 years? If theyre sht they are sht i know i got one.

A bit harsh i know but be careful.

Ps there all sht compared to sins 32, so he cant tell.

:w00t:

My GTR doesn't have indicators on the guards when others did.

I think some cars may have had them added when they came to the country.

As for seats and k's you never know what happens with these cars or what's been replaced it's really luck of the draw. Only thing you can do is get a mechanic or someone you can do to check it out and hope for the best really.

Thing is, they're at an age where if they haven't had things replaced they are shit. Even if they look pretty often they need a lot of work.

DIY Mick is spot on - Build and Import plates missing (Dodgey!!)

Speedo is aftermarket anyway. Add 40-60 thousand K's to the reading.

Side blinkers are at the discretion of the importer for compliance and local RTA during inspection.

Look for rust in and around the boot, lots of under body tar etc and like others have said, worn steering wheels, handbrake leather etc to indicate if kms are real.

Definently ask about the plate in the engine bay and compliance papers etc

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
