Hey all,

Im new here and i was wondering if anyone could tell me how much it would cost me to import the cheapest of the cheap R32 GTS standard Skyline. I was going to save up and get an R33 GTS-T as i want a turbo when im older, but as ive barely had 6 months driving experience i want a non turbo car and being a skyline enthusiast it MUST be a skyline, unless it costs too much.

please take into consideration the following

-I have P plates until 29-10-2006 and live in vic. so power to weight ratio might be a b1tch.

-I dont care what year or model the car is as long as its a skyline

-I dont want an R31

- I was planning on buying the car around SEP 2005 so please take into consideration depreciation.

Thats about it, so any replies with advice or approx prices would be most appreciated :D

thanks in advance :(

Hey, welcome to Skylines Australia. :D

Well in Victoria the Power to Weight ratio is only a problem for R33 and R34 drivers on their Provisional license, so a R32 GTS-t or R32 GTS would be absolutely fine, insurance on the other hand is a totally different matter. If you were looking to import a Skyline R32 from Japan you should go through a broker such as Prestige Motorsport or J-Spec.

Here are a few examples of some reasonable R32 GTS-t's for sale from Prestige Motorsport:

Year: 1989

As you'll see some do need work but you'll find some which are bloody beautiful and they're price will be attractive too, and will be more so in 2005. Goodluck with your search for a R32 GTS or GTS-t and Just Cars Insurance will help you out with insurance. :(

Thanx heaps mate, i plan on having 8G TOTAL though :) so i figured 7 for the car and 1 for imsurance and rego. im only gonna get 3rd party insurance. I really really would only ever get an R32 in BLACK aswell. And remember a standard GTS is all i want. a GTS-T i wouldnt say no to but im going for rock bottom pricing due to me only being 19 andnot haing much money. So the way i see it is in a years time ill have 8G. i dont mind waiting a lil longer though. i'd rather wait longer and pay less :P cheers

Ok i was looking on carpoint which seems to ussually have cars with rediculously high prices and found these 2 cars. both R32's. They seemed extremely well priced to me. Am i missing something here or are both of these cars steals?

don't forget dude it says "plus complience costs" at the end of each one. that could dig a bit of a hole in ya pocket espec if they up the price a bit more then what it actually costs them. but would be interesting to see how much the total price would be......

Rochey> Those two cars are both 4 doors, and in my experience are generally cheaper than your average 2 door coupe style 'Line. The second one on carpoint is a bit confusing as it's listed as a 5 speed auto? Correct me if i'm wrong but i thought they were only 4 speed autos?

Anyways, don't let that discourage you the R32 Skyline is an excellent car in any form :D

Yeh i was confused if they had been complied or not. it says 'includes RWC plus complience' dosnt that mean its been complied? hmm dosnt really matter anyways as im looking at buying in 6-12 months so they will be long gone.

in the words of HPI: "A cheap GTR [or any skyline for that matter] is like buying a cheap Porsche: if you can't afford to own it, it doesn't matter if you can afford to buy it"

this applies to all cars. cars break. they cost lotsa money. and nissan parts are expensive. be prepared.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
