If you haven't already discovered it, another great read is Aki's blog. It has good enthusiast info from a lot of Japanese articles, sources and resources, and discusses all the skyline GTR models.

Oh yeah, I found his blog a while back. It's great! I hope my blog goes on to have the same longevity as his lol.

I don't think it's necessary to segregate 32/33/34. Let's face it, they are so similar that knowledge from one can 99% of the time be transposed to the other.

Maybe not segregate between 32/33/34 but at least have a clearly defined section for them as a whole to distinguish it clearly from the R35 or older Skylines. I know I was confused about where to post when I first came to SAU because I could see a clearly labeled R35 section but no similar defined section for the R32/33/34 - maybe something like "R32/33/34 General" would help so that questions specific to an area of the car like the powertrain or exterior can still go to a specific section.

Honestly I still find it confusing to see some posts get started in "Vehicle Specific Discussion" and others go into "General Automotive Discussion" when they're all actually about Skylines. Like these threads for example:

http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/458178-r34-gt-r-australian-market/

They're both basically the same - a guy asking about an Australian R34 he's considering buying but they're in two different sections. What should be the deciding factor? Wouldn't it make more sense to have similar threads like that in one section?

Here's an interesting new twist in the Motorex saga - another importer in the US, Rivsu Imports, has been able to convince JK Technologies to work with them to import an R33 GT-R LM. So far it's just a one-off but this at least brings up the possibility of more R33's now being imported, although probably at a hefty cost. I posted about it on my blog here:

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
    • Trailer got new mudguards to accommodate the new wheels Lightweight ally Painted, stickered and done ✅ 👌
