What are the best places to start looking for a nice condition R32 GTR other than online car sites and the trading post.

Are there places where you can place an order and they will import a car for you and offer warranty.

Would appreciate any links to such places or names of such places so I can give them a call for some quotes. :headspin:

Dunno about anyone else, but the guys at www.gtprojects.com are great and i also checked out the peoples at http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/

they don't really do quotes though, they can give you a rough idea of what they think they can get you a r32 gtr for thou, no exact $.

to give you a bit of an idea, gtr's in japan (correct me if im wrong) start at about (aus)$12,000 landed in aust, but i don't think i would wish one of them on my worst enemy, at that price they would have to have been thrashed quite a bit.

there is a good article in no. 46 of HPI (High Performance Imports Mag) that talks about importing a 1989 r32 gtr, what to look for and what not. I think HPI say that you would want to pay about $(aus)25,000 on road for a good r32 gtr (1989)

get the mag and read thou.

hope this helps

decent R32 GTR's start at $18,000. for that price many have reconditioned engines, and i wouldnt import one if it didnt coz you need to remember they are 15 year old engines and that can be a problem, especially if its done over 200,000 km.

I think Jspec and prestiege motorsport and the best import companies around...

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
