Hi everyone currently looking for a r32 gtr,ive been reading heaps of your reveiws on sydney imports eg top secret, iron cheif.

Just wondering if annyones got anny positives and negatives about edward lees imports.

And also do these dealerships offer finance, warrenty,servicing etc.

Top secret and edward lees are looking more apealing online as i have not met in person. If use could help me decide which dealers are worth while to visit that would be much apreciated. Thanks

Xtreme Motorsport on parramatta road seem to be the most honest of the import dealers in sydney and so are jap link motors in rydlemere

Do a search on the forum about some of the dealers and it might be a bit of an eye opener

How impatient are you? If you're in no rush, then you can ask Iron Chef to look for the car you want. Or you can browse locally as well (saves you waiting).

That was my next Question. What is the avarage km on the odo that a 1994 r32 gtr is ment to have. Some are like 80,000 and even less then 50.how is this possible.

98% are, as dif said, wound back.

the other 2% are generally from Japanese collectors who have decided to sell.

Bez,

Read the Subforum "Importing Vehicles" > "If You're Happy With Your Import Car, Who Brought It In?"

There's a head count there over a broad spectrum of people. And you can join the dots to determine who isn't on that head count.

The head count is constantly updated.

Thanks terry i will check it out.

Hi bob as good as it sounds i wouldnt be able to pay for car out right, im looking to finance as im a bit impacient to come up with the other half.

Is that the gtr your looking to sell in your display picture.

No..... That's my ADM....Not sure if you know but Nissan Australia asked Japan to specially build 100 cars to Australian specifications which were sold through their dealers. Pretty rare probably only 60-70 still exist.

My JDM was a project in restoring a good car and making it great. Very original including radio and exhaust.

I'm not actively trying to sell it but if I trip over a genuine buyer then who knows.

Here are a few pics of both cars.

Cheers,

Bob.

What price point are you looking at?

Having 4 toys is a pain in the bum so I may consider selling my JDM.

Bob.

let me know how much, then wait a year or 2 until I can get a loan....

would love an ADM, but dont think ill ever achieve one.

this would be the cleanest jdm I have seen, and would love to keep it that way.

The Bathurst thing is a myth....... BMW and Ford got smashed by the public for racing cars the people couldn't buy here. Nissan wanted to raise the profile of their brand and capitalise on the success they knew they were going to get. The car was $112,995.00 at list price. My window sticker clearly shows that at the time of original purchase. Remember this is 1991/92. Mine was sold as a DEMO with 261 kms for $110,000.00.

I bought the JDM from a private guy in Victoria in February last year. It then underwent a complete cosmetic and mechanical restoration.

If I did sell it $25K would be a fair price which is a fair bit less than it owes me.

Cheers,

Bob.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
