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

Make: Nissan

Model: Skyline R32 Gts-t

Transmission: 5 speed

Kms: 97000

Colour: Red

Price: $10,200

Transmission: 5 speed

Kms: 71000

Price: $8,900

Year: 1989

Make: Nissan

Model: Skyline R32 Gts-t

Transmission: Auto

Kms: 155000

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.

      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

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
