:werd: considering we are talking about 4 months worth of GTR (august -> end of december).. compared to what 5 years worth of R32 GTR that simply can't be imported at the moment.  

Those trying to make a quick buck of the 1989 GTR will probably need to fairly quickly if you ask me, as soon as SEVS compliance is available and the options are much larger... and from what I can gather the price only a few $k more (even based on a $6k compliance)... the ass will fall out of the 1989 market pretty quickly.

sorry to be pedantic but 6/91-to 6/92 not eligible...stopped making gtr march/april 94 no one will bring in 89 under raws so that leaves 90 to 6/91 18months and 6/92 to 3 /94 21 mths =3 years 9mths left- cars accident damaged ...have fun

as far as the ass falling out of anything it will r33gts-t due to cheap r32 gtr`s :D

Agree 150%. with pred..  

Non accident history isnt really a bad thing. There is ways around the modification thing. Supply/Demand thing is economics, of course its not your theory.

non accident history only eligible is a GREAT thing ..its the best thing thats come out of this low volume to raws transition ....my point is that this type of car is still sort after in japan and ..expensive

eg :93 @ auction tomorrow grade 4.5 (B) non accident genuine 65000klm

start price 1.4 million

Just out of interest - if I'm buying a r32 that is 15yrs old and doesn't need compliance, should I buy it now before they change the scheme, or should I wait till they do?

I'm not sure about what could happen, anyone spell it out sif I was 10 years old? ;P

my advice would be to wait until the influx of car come in at the end of this year. So more around xmas time. Reason being there will be alot more people trying to sell. Additionally my advice would be to check the car your looking at from importers website ( the one with history..) as this provides some big hints as to what they paid for it. An example being that people trying to sell cars for 30K, they actually got them landed in australia for 18odd.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
