hey SAU,

Im interested in buying a 1990-1993 skyline r32 gtst... As we all know, they are fair old (about 16 years old :whistling:) and basically its hard to find one in good condition which will last me for the next three years. So here lies my question, should i look at ones being imported and complied? or go on sites such as carsales and the classified sections of sites such as SAU. Also if anyone knows any trusted garages / importers who import mint r32's plz post : >

Thanks guys!!!

hey.. I just went on carsales for mine.. it took a long time to find something in excellent condition, but if you're patient something will come up. I was thinking of importing one, but thought for the type of car it is, I would rather look it over in person and drive it myself before buying. If you're prepared to pay a little extra for one that someone is selling here already then do that for the sake of saving $$$ in the long run.

Best Way Of Purchasing A R32 In Good Cond.

go out and buy one of these

as soon as you get it you will need to bolt a few things on such a positron flux capacitor and ion matter distrubitor... repco stock them i believe... part number is BTF20193-A and BTF08073-PP

Your end product should look like this...

Now if you make it this far your doing well... once you have created this vehicle to the exact specifications you should be able to travel back in time to 1990-1993 and find one in better then good condition.

:) sorry... bored at work.

hey, i bought my 32 not too long ago it was in great condition.

i wouldnt recommend importing one because i just personally dont like tha fact of not being able to see the car drive it check it out myself etc... however there are professionals who look em ova so thats a plus.

if your worried about importing one and it stuffn up well when i got my 32 about a few days after the turbo seals went and i think the piston #6 f**ked up, probably my fault for dragging but who knows if that was the cause.

ive learnt my lesson from it :)

morale of the story is if its gonna die its gonna die weather it be local or import, what i am going to do with my next car is compression test the sucker.....just make sure you have say 3000 left over in case something happens.

as for a 32 or maybe a 33 i prefer the 32's looks sexier , tougher more stylish but i would kill for the 33 interior heeh

let us know how you go and what you get..

stay safe

RACV should do a compression check. Generally the buyer pays for it but worth the money if you're not sure.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
