Hey guys,

been saving up and thinking of getting a GT-R for a long time. What's the chance of getting hold of a near stock, decent condition R32 GT-R (original rims, steering wheel, gear shift knob, exhaust, intsrument panel etc.) that's done under 100,000kms for under $25K?

I've looked at plenty of importing sites and searched the trading post etc., but they all seem to have random mods which i don't really like. And seeing as stock parts like the rims, and original interior parts are quite expensive, it'd be nice to just one that's as stock as possible.

What's the deal with the 15 yr rule to? When is it on the way out? (or is it?)

Thanks

VJ

15 year rule = gone.

Import Stock GTR under $25K = no way, the only way is SEVS and that will push it over the $25K for sure - but it will be stock and have low Ks.

Best bet is to look at the ones already imported (there are stacks of them around).

Sounds like your looking for everything but want to pay nothing.

Haha. Yeh, you could say that. But I don't think its too outrageous for an early model GTR (89-90).

I don't really need a 100% stock car, just want to make sure it has original suspension, rims, and interior (no holes in the dash, no too easy to repair). I don't mind exhausts or air filters as much.

I talked to the guys at J-spec, and they seem to think its pretty reasonable to pay $25K, in quite good condition, nearly stock early model car. That includes compliance, shipping, fees and possibly some new tyres.

I'll just have to see what happens. Undoubtedly there will be more money to be spent on rego and insurance, and repairs here and there.

Thanks for your input guys.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
