Hey everyone.

Well I finally picked up my car on Friday and yeah.....I'M HAPPY! :)

The car is a 1990 R32 GTS-T Type M, bone stock (which most likely means she was'nt abused by the kids in Japan :D ), 101K km's, original paint, NO RUST, mint frame and a very strong motor. When I test drove her at 3500rpm's in 2nd gear I punched it and it through me back in to my seat. At 6500rpm's she still wanted to keep going. I was super impressed.

Anyway here's a few pic's after I washed her up. The car still needs a good detail job but she cleaned up really nice. The writting on the windshield is no longer there now.

I'll be going for emission's next week I first wanted to give it a couple of tanks of good gas, bottle or injector and octane boost, oil change and some high rpm driving just to clean the engine out. She was sitting for a while so it was a good idea. As well I've reset the ecu and I'm doing new plugs and air filter.

Overall I'm just really happy and excited to get this project going.

Well take care.

Cheers B)

Thanks for the kind words man.

Actually no they are'nt hard to import, register or insure here. Our law states any car 15 years or older can be imported legally. I thought you guys were having a similar law institued, or is my info wrong?

If I am wrong, your all VERY lucky that any car made in any year can be imported. Yeah us Canucks are jealous :D .

it was like that, they cut that rule at the start of this year when the gov realised how many imports were coming in and thought it was taking away from the local car market. thats my understanding anyhow.

:lol: well hopefully the list won't grow anymore and you'll get your car VERY soon.

I'm really loving this car and it's funny how it still has'nt really sunk in yet that I own a Skyline. I mean I know it will but for now it's a really neat feeling. :rofl:

Hey that's great. See I told ya that list would'nt grow any bigger, I must be physic. :D

Anyway I hope the registration process will be as easy as replacing the battery. Make sure to post up some pic's of your new baby as I look forward to seeing her. :D

    • Aren't these run off of high voltage in OEM applications? Like 200+V. Or at least 48V in mild hybrids. At ~18,000 BTU ballpark nominal capacity the power draw is at what, 2.2 kW? ~185A is a pretty crazy amount of amps. At 200V it's only 11A. The 70A nominal kits with up to 100A peak draw I see for stuff like classic Porsches have pretty substantial compromises like shutting off at idle and not actually managing to keep the interior cool in hot conditions because they can only output like 6000 BTU. IMO if I had to pick what high amp draw component to retrofit to these cars I would start with the engine fan, not the AC compressor. You need an ~850-1000W brushless fan, something like this: I would love to see the data but I would bet that whatever you save by running the AC compressor in a more efficient regime with an electric motor you're probably losing to conversion losses anyways. It's not really like a clutch fan where you're losing power all the time even when it's nominally disengaged and it gets worse as it engages because the envelope tracking isn't that precise.
    • I am a volunteer marshal at the Grand Prix. As such, I get a "friend / family" ticket. It is a general admission ticket, valid for all 4 days. Anyone interested in my spare pass, please DM me. Ticket is "free, gratis and no expense".
    • agreed, the price vs gains it’s there.   unless you go china supercharger. Temu racing anyone?😂https://www.facebook.com/share/15nkfpsg7Z/?mibextid=wwXIfr that was one of the ones that popped up on my feed 😂
    • Bit of a long shot but if anyone has 4 of these laying around in new or near new condition. I will happily buy them off you.     https://skylinespares.com.au/product/stabilizer-door-glass-inner-new-8032404u03/?srsltid=AfmBOop6L5EgUFaHPHiVXoAhv5k8aJYwc77nGmoApp-hY03OiOsNVaOv Thanks 
    • I'm wondering is the Toyota and Mazda "collaboration" could see that new Toyota ???G20 ??? turbo engine that they have been showing off recently into a future MX5, apparently it's good for 400hp out of the box That could easily, possibly, be much better than the last collaboration between Toyota and Subaru with the boxer engine in the twins
