hey all,  

Im thinking of selling my s15 and finally buying my dream car (r32 gtr). . . Few mates have told me companies import them from japan for you?? If so could anyone point me towards a website/phone number?  

cheers

Dude.... SEARCH! There is even a whole sub-forum dedicated to importation

don't listen to them! one owns a GTST and has a faggy looking avatar that is actually his self potrait :tool:, the other one owns an MR-2 what more needs to be said about him? :uhh:

Like Lwells said, look at the import forum. call www.prestigemotorsport.com.au or www.j-spec.com.au

to be honest you may have missed the boat on a cheap R32 GTR (due to new legislation) but you can still get one.

GTRs are tha shiznit. do it...

edit:silver and tosh, no offence intended, just protecting the GTR name! :uh-huh:

that's ok, at least it's a skyline. hell most places you go people will think it's a GTR anyway! it could be worse... you could own an MR-2.

if we are talking about a top shelf 89 GTR vs a top shelf S15 then yes I would.

well if its a top shelf 89 gtr then the year 89 would be irrelivant and i would choose the GTR too

but if we're talking about 2 stockers i would go for the s15 just for the peace of mind

How many "top shelf" '89 GTRs have you seen? :D :D

Going on a blanket rule, and judging by the condition of AVERAGE '89 GTRs and AVERAGE S15s, I'd take an S15 in a heartbeat.

That said, there are some very nice '89 GTRs, but they're much much much rarer than very nice S15s :)

Well obviously a car that's had 15 years of "average" treatment is not going to be as fresh as a car with only 1-4 years of equivalent treatment.

My 89 R32 GT-R is almost stock, but its in very good condition. S15 is sweet, but I wouldn't want to swap :D

Bingo.

That's exactly why unless it was an EXCEPTIONAL '89 GTR, I'd take the S15 over it without hesitation.

I can only talk about my experience. My friend has a very nice near stock S15 with low kays. I have an 89 GTR. No way in the world would I swap him. yes the S15 is newer. yes it's a more modern car with a much sleeker look. but it's not a GTR...

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
