Hey mate - there is only one way you are going to be able to import your own R32 and that is through one of the brokers who haev already bought cars and they are 'in stock'. DOTARS have effictivly stopped the 15yr old rule.

I would suggest that you look locally at the R32's and the R33's that are available. Try www.carsales.com, I was looking there yesterday and there is 9 pages of cars :headspin: Follow these rules

1. get a manual, don't look for a cheap auto to convert ($$$)

2. Stick to your purchasing budget (most of the good manual R33's seemed to average about $17k+)

3. get an apexi PFC - they can be had for $1000 now!!!

4. get new injectors that suit your car, someone on the forums got reconditioned and hiflowed units fromthe states for ~$500. you might get new Sard units for $650 ~600cc

5. get a 3 or 3.5 inch exhaust from the turbo back (you can get these S/H from your friends on the forums). Note - most systems are from the cat back

6. get a decent cat (not a generic hi-flow), I use an Andretti magnaflow 3in (from the US).

7. get a HKS 2540, or GT-RS turbo (you might be lucky enough to find one S/H from here)

8. bosch 044 pump (again - seek the forums)

9. hybrid front mount intercooler (cheaper than the GTR unit) yawn - forums...

10. enjoy your easy 250rwkw on low boost....

If you are a smarty shopper, you may be able to pick up a modded example, but be VERY careful that it is modded right - get someone from a shop that knows skylines to check it out. The $150 - $200 you spend could save you a lot of time, worry and money.

if you need to know anything else, PM me as I rarely get in this section.

Cheers

mate...200rwkw is plenty on the streets....if it's for street use only I'd recommend a higher average power rather than a high power at one rpm point (I remember SydneyKid saying something like that). 225rwkw on a RB20 is laggy...

IF you're gonna do a conversion make sure you get some more cubes. RB25 or RB30...

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
