Keeping tabs on 32 GTST's on Carsales and there's this one dealer who seems to import bone stock one owner R32 GTS T's from Japan with low KM's...

They are asking a pretty penny for 'em but for they are the exact thing I'm after, just the extra stretch means I don't have all the cash right now, just wondering if anyone knows who the dealer is, so I can hit them up when the time comes - I don't want to make an enquiry via Carsales because that costs them a fortune... (am a dealer myself)

The latest one they have even has a stock airbox - I actually don't think I even knew what the stock airbox looked like on an R32 until now...

Did anyone on here buy the last black one they had? Had a few minor mods but still looked remarkably original and mint.... Some people would baulk at paying over $13k for a R32 GTS T, but if you're old like me and more want the car as a 'Classic', then it actually makes more sense to pay more up front for something like this, rather than trying to convert a modified machine back closer to original condition...

Plus they are providing a full history, RWC and a 12 month warranty - on a twenty year old car - that's pretty impressive.

Here's the link to carsales if anyone is interested in checking out a GTS T 'as Nissan intended it to be...' :-)

That would be Power Road Car Sales @ Dandenong.

Be careful how excited you get about the "low kms" factor.

They're clever enough to post only engine numbers with their advertisements which makes them very hard to catch out. Here is one example though:

2007 White Delica - 76,602 kms. Note engine number in VIN field = BD83764B12

According the Department of Transport the chassis number for that car would be: CV5W0106567

Same car in Japan:

151,570kms

Faaaar out that is very interesting! Thanks heaps for the info. It wouldn't surprise me if the car they're advertising has done more km's as the stock steering wheel is decidedly tatty - a dead giveaway on R32's I reckon. Thus far all the sub 100km examples I've seen have had a steering wheel that looked pretty mint. A 12 month warranty and completely stock state of tune does have it's appeal though - although the warranty may not cover 'wear and tear' and pretty much everything else, and the car could have been returned to stock from being previously modified... I think I might stick with the 8-9k examples I've been looking at - then leave a bit of budget for fixing it up...

Thanks again mate, great info.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
