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:

its ok i get the jealousy thing all the time

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...

    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
