Just wondering if anyone who has or is importing an R32 GTR could shed some light on the process for me, and give me some tips for things to look for as far as condition and costs Iam going to be up for with fixing the car up.. I've heard prestigemotorsport is one of the best to go with.. Did any of you get bank loans for these cars if you did I do need some advice in that area as well... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are heaps of threads in the importation forum that have all the info you need, or just do a search.

:werd:

but for god sake don't buy and import a 15yo GTR if you need a loan to pay for it.

Insurance is a killer, and you need it if you have a loan.

The quality of the car that arrives is a lucky dip...will you have $6000 if you need to rebuild the engine when it gets here?

Last thing you want is a great car like a GTR sitting broken in the garage for 6 months while you pay off a loan on it

If you go to any of these Brokers you may as well go to www.japanautodirect.com as the links show the same cars at various brokers as stock and you dont have to pay the $1,100.

Links at various sites coming from the Aussie Brokers showing same stock.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
