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.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
