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 SAU,

Im interested in buying a 1990-1993 skyline r32 gtst... As we all know, they are fair old (about 16 years old :O) 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.

:O C'mon man.

GODZILLLLAAA...Jks :/ Don't import one! Comliancing is a bitch.

You sure you want a 32? Or can I push you toward a 33? Huh HUH!

;) Carsales/Trading post...Hop to it.

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

hehe yeah s2000 is a chick..

umm

thanks for hte replies guys! well ive found an r32 which im really interested in and will probably endup buying! it is not imported, its local private sale. I have never bought a car before, so im abit vague on the whole process.. i want to get RACV to do a full test on it, and make sure everything is in good nick etc. should i get the seller to pay for this? or should i? also does anyone know if RACV perform compression tests?

thanks guys!!

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

    • From there it is trickier. Ecutek seems to be one of those closed ecosystems where everyone password protects their tunes which means I either choose a tuner and can't change from them and can't make any changes myself for any reason, or I have to buy the tuning software (about $4k) and then get someone to tune from scratch (which is not simple with all the multi dimensional tables these days). Once you buy about 300 "flash points" per ECU you can get it tuned and add their "RaceROM" function which hacks extra functionality like launch control onto the ECU, and also makes extra data available for logging over CAN Not sure what I'll do there yet; I'm tempted to use one of the overseas shops that does billions of remote tunes of the platform instead of starting from scratch locally, a lot can be done online these days.
    • Can I log IAT eh? Well, can now So next thing was looking at data logging. Not straight forward because none of the motorsport displays have cracked the nissan/inifinti CAN and ECU based displays don't do g logging, lap timing, predictive laps etc.  So, I bought an Ecutek dongle from Tunehouse (Oz distributor). Even without a tune onboard that allows display and logging of about 50 parameters via Android (and presumably iOS) app. Approx 600 for the bluetooth + Usb version That gives me (pretty ugly but) functional dash display on Android And logging of these parameters I'll play around a bit over the break, but at least now I can make sure I have oil pressure when I get to some track testing.  
    • I don't know what globes/headlight connector they run, but I'd be looking for a female adapter to plug into the existing headlight on one side. Something like this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/256017245989 Then I'd use a pair of single input, double output relays (one for low, one for high), mount them in a spare space in the fuse box if you want to to look more original (and be easier to maintain). Then 2 new power sources from the main stud in the fuse box via a fuse to each relay. Low from the headlight adapter pin triggers low relay and high from the high headlight adapter pin triggers high and low. Earth the relays and new headlight sockets and off you go. Because it triggers off the original headlight all of the dipping/hi on/high flash all still works
