I have just started looking for my dream car, an R32 GTR. I was about 18 when they first came to Bathurst and conquered. Could anyone point me in the direction of a good importer or dealer that they have had dealings with. Also any tips on what to look out for would be appreciated.

There are some really nice ones already here in aus. Ranging from 20ish to 32 ish the more you spend the more you get. Ask yourself if your prepared to spend some on bs as when a car would come over id say heaps could be wrong with it.

If i were going for a gtr, id look for one here in SA (try the forums) as i could look it over, and see if it had a service history. Ie buy a car someones weeded out all the problems a 10+ yo car could have and fixed already.

Nice other car too...go the torrie :O

Try J-spec on here...have heard nothing but good stuff

Good work mate... I was in the same boat too having grown up watching 'em destroy all at bathurst etc.

I bought mine a couple of months ago from brisbane... flew up, checked it over drove it home. Watch out for lots of thrashed out 89 models as engine work can be expensive. Mine is a '93 with documented history. Also check out the ones for sale on this forum as generally the enthusiasts look after their machines.

It took me a couple of months to find the right one... found it on carsales.com. You will know the right one when you see it.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
