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.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
