yeah, some good 89 cars are out there..  

that looks pretty nice there druzilla..  

I think we have about 8 more days to enjoy it, but hey, it was good for a few people while it lasted..

what do you mean 8 more days to enjoy it?

i will have some better pics up later, but im just gona link em from niztek.. cbf uploading pics to every site i go to

DRU:

That looks absolutely beatiful mate. Congratulations. I agree with nick, turbolight 4100 is a cheap oil, for cheap turbo cars. A GTR is not a cheap car. Give it to a mate and get ye some motul 300V, also heard that royal purple is good sh1t but I've never personally used it.

pred was talking about the 15yo rule coming to an end, not your car! :(

Enjoy it.

DRUZILLA THATS AWESOME!!  

Interior pics?!

What auction grade was it, who did you import through, how much has it costed so far?

Those pics are inspirational.

Damn I really want mine now :(

auction grade was 3.5

would have been 4, but it had an aftermarket dial cluster.. so only got 3.5.

i went through j-spec.. i have a whole thread on another site about my import experience.. it even states what my bids were for one gtrs and how much i lost the austion by etc.. i will post the link here if anybody want to read it

yeah.. the price of gtrs at the start of the thread compared to the price of gtrs at the end.. there is quite a big difference.. i missed out a few times and i ended up paying more for the gtr i have now.. but im still very happy with it

what do you mean 8 more days to enjoy it?

The world will end in 8 days..

no - seriously, just Jan 1st will more than likely be the annoucement that the end of the 15 year rule is made official.. that's what everybody seems to be saying - so no more cheap 1989 such as this.

Whoever got a good car for a great price I reckon congrats whilst the going was good, otherwise too late.

should also change the attessa fluid, in the resovoir in the rear drivers side quarter panel.

It needs to be drained and bled at two points but it is really quite easy, just follow the instructions in the GTR workshop manual, I was told Dexron III is ok to use. I bought a 4 litre pack and those lines are definitely clean now, I had to get a lot of air out of my lines.

P.S. just check those subframe bushes (4 in total) on the rear just behind the drivers and passengers doors for the telltale silicon leaks. you can go several ways if they need replacing including new bushes from noltec in sydney. I just did mine in my R32 GTS4 and a friend had his done in a GTR, so they are something to watch out for, not cheap if you have to pay for it to be done.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
