$12100 landed.

so what will be rough cost with 12 months rego?

Under $15K

Has anyone imported something this modified?

would it be reliable?

I was having a look at that one. Nice stance, 350ps, rebuilt engine.... its all good. Probably want alot more detailed photos & a full mechanical report with it. Its hard to tell but the body mods look a little dodge ie the lipped rear guards. Could be wrong though.

By the time its on the road I'd be suprised if you had much change from $15K. Doesn't Funky work with J-spec. He'd be teh man to ask about costs.

Going back to an R32, eh?

yeh well I'm sick of people in the back complaining that they can't feel their legs..

So I figure, I can sell the S14, buy a cheaper R32 4 door and then save some money for the engine conversion I plan to do.

that way I have 4 doors which is much easier to live with, and won't worry about the mechanical side as the engine will be coming out.

so in "theory", I should have a car which will owe me under $20K in the end, and have a new engine, suspension and interior (gotta do the interior as the 89 model r32 sedan's suck a$$)

Yeah, the interior is a little ghey. Just the fugly cloth on the seats & door inserts, the rest is the same as the later models.

But don't for a moment think that it has any rear legroom;) Rear seats are designed for little Japanese kiddies I think. My mates fight over shotgun in my car as the rear seat room is so small. Mind you, they are all over 6ft...
