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:

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've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
