Please see carsales ad that has pricing, details and photos. Admin if you're not liking the link just say and I'll re-create the ad in a post. Not a lot going on in the SAU classified for whole cars which I'm surprised about... https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/nissan-skyline-1990/sse-ad-12736673/

So I guess that raises an interesting point. An auction could attract an outlayer result. Mine’s a very neat and stock looking car with nice mods but isn’t a special so not sure it fits that bill. So Carsales or Collecting Cars auction?

Hey Guys, I’ve been on SAU for about 15 years but not been active for a while. Time has come to sell my 32R but as I’m not close to the scene anymore I’m looking for some feedback on how best to go about it. Clearly the US market is now interested in this car now. So throw it up in the Classifieds here and access AU NZ and US markets?? Feedback on pricing would be good. 1990 Jap import, with pretty much everything done. Forged engine with all supporting mods, 10l sump, oil cooler, AP brakes all around, Racepace Tein suspension, BBS LM wheels with new Direzza tyres, 4.375 diff ratios, HICAS lockout etc etc. Very clean car overall with a very original, clean, standard interior with an immaculate original wheel and yeah has a dash bubble. Everything works. Owned for 16 years. $80k? $100k? $120k? More??? Genuinely asking as I don’t know. This is not a quasi for sale ad. When it’s for sale you’ll see it in the classifieds. Thanks. https://www.instagram.com/p/CNwC2g4lOWk/?utm_medium=copy_link

Thanks. Too small for what? Bear in mind initial set up is 7psi and 350hp. Turbo is gong to cost very little so it’s probably a good place to start unless it’s stuffed or really inappropriate for the application. There is also the issue of packaging as there is not a whole heap of space at the back of the Porsche engine with the rear bar, engine tinware and rear engine mount all conspiring against you. All of that said I’ll def look into the turbos you suggested and thanks for your input.

Thanks mate. There is a well trodden route for turboing an NA Porsche 3.2l flat 6. Turbo, injectors and programable ECU, and other obvious items. Just needed a steer on turbo brands and where to get them. I visited Tao on Friday and a mate dug this old Greddy unit up for me so there are a few options.

I'm tubrocharging an NA Porsche 3.2 Carrera and need to source a turbo for it. Second hand, rebuilt, I don't mind as long as it does the job and isn't drug money. Specs are: T3 inlet, Vband outlet, ball bearing, A/R 0.82, 350 - 500 hp, external gate I'll take recommendations on brand as well as I'm relatively unfamiliar with turbo brands outside of Garrett. I'm in Vic so that's a preference. Cheers.

Yee-ha. Funny things to drive. They do not turn unless under brakes or NO throttle. But once you get the tail wagging they turn well. Was a smaller shorter track than I expected and was over in a couple of hours but given it was a special occasion was worth it overall.

Thanks fellas. I've booked the buggies at Colo Park. Great suggestion.

G'day guys, Nick here from south of the border. I've got a work colleague in Sydney and he's clocking up 10 years of service soon and I want to organise something for him along the lines of a motorsport experience. He's got a late model Golf R and does regular trackdays, so is going to need something a little better than if he was a total noob to this kind of thing. I thought that Formula Ford would be good as (if you've driven one before you'll know) they're quite different to saloon cars. http://www.sydneymotorsportpark.com.au/experiences/formulaford/ What other ideas are there that are good in NSW? Be great if you've had first hand experience as often things aren't as they appear to be on the internet. Have a good weekend all.

Actually, got these but I'm still looking for a road solution. Been told the MG guys go for Dents gloves..... Golf glove makes sense as grippy leather, soft, and designed to be tight across the palm with the hand clenched similar to the grip on a steering wheel. Will investigate further

I have a new alcantara wheel and want to know what gloves might suit. Car is driven mostly on club sprint days and I'm not a massive fan of either the full blown logo'ed up 'race car driver' gloves or the Alan Partridge string back gloves look. I do not wear a race suit. I would consider them for the road as have darkest legal tint. So what choice for the gentleman racer? Being serious I want grip comfort and to protect my beautiful wank wheel from wear. Many thanks.

Car is in AUS, so not importing but I suspect the people with the right knowledge will be in this forum. As the title suggests, I've got a copy of the de-reg certificate and it supports the klms on the car. Is there any need to get a JOC check done? Is it possible fake a de-reg certificate? I've only seen a jpg that has been emailed to me. Many thanks.

Well for the sake of conversation humour me and assume both are catered for. I think if you're selective and look out for second hand parts as well as new then it's may not be that bad. The original question was what spares do you need to start accumulating that will dry up as time goes by. I'd guess a bonnet and front guards among many others. Also little bit's and bobs. Let's have

So they're getting old now, and some parts are becoming hard to find and will become harder as time goes by. If you're going to keep your older Nissan what parts should you start collecting while you can? Things like suspension, clutches, brakes etc are all readily available after market, but quarter windows, window trims, rubbers, etc need to be from Nissan or off another car if you can find one that isn't as shagged as the part you took off yours. So, what is a good list of things to start collecting?

Many thanks.

Could you please check BNR32-310492. Many thanks.

Lambo has got a pretty gay ride height going on, considering the type of car it is. My daily is more stanced than that thing!

Was cleaning up my PC today and found this image from Oct 2009...Waiting for a tow last time I was at Sandown with the GTR. Luckily it was just an intercooler pipe clamp that let go, but I didn't know that at the time of taking the pic. Was assuming the worst, having blown an engine at the track before. The fear of the worst will never leave me!

Ah, you mean this one? I have a great video of the start of your joyride. PM me your mobile and I'll send it to you're interested

V28VX37sorry but I can't remember your name. Please accept my apologies. Nice to meet you. Great day from my perspective. Weather was perfect, and the car ran great - never felt stronger. Oils temps were under control, brakes were OK, but actually I would have expected them to have been better considering they're APs. Chassis-wise, the car has a great neutral stance and can be steered on the throttle really well (since Racepace Teins fitted). Not too much understeer either. Tyres were well past their best, but that probably added to the fun, if not taken away from my lap times. Best was a 1.27 which is disappointing, but fun was had. New camera took excellent images but the sound is fked. Have to figure out how to make that work properly - perhaps with an external mic located in the right place. Look forward to the next one.

And here she is. All cleaned and ready to go. Hope the after shot isn't on a tow truck!

Thoughts? Block off some of the front bar vents to encourage higher airflow speed and stability through the oil cooler and brake ducts? End result being lower temps?
