Aussie_Delivered_R32_GTR

Hi mate........ A a matter of respect to the seller and myself all I will say is that I hope to have change from my maximum budget of $22K although I think I will struggle as it needs new tyres as well. That figure has to incorporate a complete turn key car that would be equivalent to a Japanese auction grade 4/4.5 including 12 months NSW rego and transfer fees. In addition, all fluids, belts, hoses, neglected items inclusive of a major service must all be included. Oh well..... I love these projects, I enjoy watching a reasonable car become very good. :cheers: Bob.

Hi Guys, Sorry to re-hash this tread but.............. I bought what I think is a nice car from a fellow forum member in Victoria yesterday. Drove 931kms yesterday in 11 hours with 3 stops.... never missed a beat except for a problem in selecting reverse. Fortunately I was going forward all day not backwards so it didn't really affect me! I'll give it some love and attention so it should come up really nice. I love original straight cars........ The good news…… 2 owners in Australia since 2007. 106,000 genuine kms. Full history since coming to Australia. Japanese export papers. Australian import documents ADR Compliance papers 2 x Victorian Roadworthy Certificates. One in 2007 and one 2008. 2 major services, 1 minor plus new OEM radiator, RBD front rotors plus new pads plus other general servicing work + new battery. It has original exhaust, wheels, 100% stock as a rock under the bonnet. Car has original rear speakers with upgraded fronts behind the STD grills. I have OEM radio cassette to be fitted. So ICE will be stock. Original windscreen and mouldings. Great OEM steering wheel and gear knob. The not so good news…… Please advise on costs where applicable please. Tyres are absolute rubbish…. Yokohama S Drives…… Rears are gone and fronts are FxxKING NOISY AS BUGGARY! - $660.00 for Bridgestones, RE002's…. Hard to select Reverse…. Linkages or lock out playing up. Any common problem here? Thrust bearing needs replacement. - Could someone advise approx cost for that all up for parts and labour? Climate control won't heat, air conditioning excellent though. Regardless of temperature setting it cools as if it's on maximum cold. Will a replacement climate control unit fix these issues or are the problems most likely somewhere else? Small dash bubble. Globe blown behind Volt gauge. Is this fixable or am I better off just buying another trio of gauges for $100? Needs major service and some. - $1000.00 Needs to be blue slipped and registered in NSW for 12 months - $1350.00 A few dings here and there and a bit of paintwork (wiper arms.YUK!) to be fixed, approx $200.00. Interior needs a bit of work, mainly driver's seat. All up, I hope I'll get the car within my budget. Here are some pics... Thanks for looking..... Bob.

Ok...... Thanks for that. I just wanted to make sure it re-calibrates itself and doesn't read weird numbers. Bob.

It was lovely to meet you guys too.......... Bob.

Absolutely...... We need a black ADM for the trifecta!

Thanks Duncan, appreciate that...... Bob.

Hi Guys........ We all know that the std speedo in a JDM car tops out at 180kph. Ive seen 260kph, 300kph and 320kph versions. Maybe even more........ What (if anything) has to be done when installing these for them to read correctly? Or is the calibration in the speedo itself becoming plug and play? Thanks...... Bob.

I also found this post which is very informative for those who are interested...... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/138419-nissan-paint-codes/ Bob.

Yep..... The Aussie delivered cars had the extra stamping as part of the original ADR's. Your VIN tag is the equivilent of the ADM stamping. Cheers, Bob.

Sorry guys, but my above post is wrong....... It's more of a grey/blue as per the colour chart..... Bob.

I think this is it..... Bob.

I wonder who the lucky new owners is? :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: Bob.

Burgandy Red is actually called Red Pearl Metalic - Paint code AH3 which is what my car is..... Bob.

I've added KLO now to the Poll....... Bob.

I think I can answer my own question...... It appears that Spark Silver replaced Jet Silver at some stage around 1992. I'd like to see them side by side one day. Bob.

Hmmmm...... I wonder what's the difference between Spark Silver and Jet Silver?

Thanks..... That pretty much confirms it. Thanks for all your help. Bob.

Yes.... The one on the left has all 17 digits. The one in the middle only has 11. Bob.

Hey guys......... I have started a poll asking what's your favourite colour. Now I' know it's tempting to simply put your colour down if you own a R32 but I really trying to get an idea of what colours are popular and what's not. Just pick the colour you like the most. Even though I own a Red Pearl Metalic one, I voted for Jet Silver! Cheers, Bob.

Hi Guys, I'm hoping someone who ownes a JDM R32 GT-R can have a look at my attached pic and confirm that their car also has the VIN stamped in two places on the firewall. I've never really bothered to check this before. Many Thanks......... Bob.

I spoke to Ron Eagle the other day and he swears Packer had 2 Red cars and 1 Silver one............. Sorry but no black ones. Bob.

Hi John and welcome, Some pics would be great. How long have you had the car for? What's the history of the car? We love reading all that kind of stuff. Cheers, Bob.

This is all scrambled to me....... Bob.

My daughter bought this about 2 and a half years ago...... A 1 owner 1990 Pulsar Reebok..... Not for sale but I thought you may find it interesting. It had original radio, original 1990 spare tyre. She has modernised it a bit now but it's still a great car, now has 221,000 kms.

Put me in for this one. The poor old R32 hasn't been out for about 4 weeks now........ Cheers, Bob.
