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?

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...

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
