Yeah, think its "they're working on it" seems to be the general consensus

When 15 year rule ends they will probably get more serious about it I guess.

I was looking at a few prices.. even allowing $5000 ontop (compared to $1500 I guess for a 15 year thing), most of the prices for a nice 92 or something like that still only work out low $20's.. or possibly $3k more. The demand seems to be pushing the price of them up to what a much newer/nicer one would be, which is weird.

If i was spending that amount of money on a bit of a risk anyhow, I know i'd rather spend a bit more and get something newer.

Yup. I guess if your were willing to take the risk and speculate on R32 SEVS compliance coming soon then a 92-94 model would be the go. Once compliance is available demand will increase supply will gradually decrease and prices on those will also tend to rise.

Increased demand and decreased supply is pushing up 89 models to be close the 92-94 model prices. Note that the June 91 to June 92 models are not eligible for import under

SEVS, gotta go post June 92.

Prestige has been indicating 32 SEVS compliance will happen this year, but the date seems to be moving backwards towards that 1st Jan 05 - 15yr rule death. Be nice to import a grade 4 94 model and get it on the road for <$30k.

Oh and BTW has anybody reading this thread taken a punt on a post June 92 model - hoping that SEVS will come to the rescue shortly?

I bidded on a stock 89 gtr the other day.. i thought i was in with a chance at 930,000yen..

It sold just short of 1.5million yen... May as well wait and get a late model 32 gtr under sevs. I saw a 1995 r32 gtr, it START price was 1.8million yen! so start saving if you want a late model one too

www.upimports.com.au in Melbourne are getting SEVS compliance for R32s im pretty sure. When I brought in my 89 GTR, it was when the changes to the month not year 15 Year old came into affect, and they said they were working on R32 SEVS.

Did someone say they wanted an R32 GTR with a reconditioned engine?....my 32 is being run in at the moment after the rebuild and needs to be sold asap unfortunately. Well the stuffed pistons didnt come up in the auction report did they : (

What did it cost to recondition the engine?

i think ill second Marks question... it doesnt matter how good an R32 GTR looks on the outside, it still has a 15 year old engine. The $15,000 examples ive seen were with 100k kms and that was my main concern with importing one now... what is the price range to recondition a 15 year old RB26??

A friend of a friend spend $22k on a engine rebuild on his R32 GTR. It was his weekend car and is now selling it as hes now got a M5.

A while back I was going to buy a 1994 R32 GTR which had an engine rebuild which cost the owner $14k from memory which I think included high flowed turbos but he opted not to get forged internals.

What would it cost to get a 33 or 34 GTR engine replacement instead?

whoever is paying over $10k for an rb26dett engine build is getting ripped..

I don't see why an RB26dett engine build is too much more difficult than an rb25det build or anything else, except the prestige status attached to these engines.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
