aight, so i've exhausted the limited selection of jap import dealers in canberra so i'm headin on up to sydney hopefully this weekend to have a look around. i've had my eye on a white r32 gtr that autostyle have on their site which is now at the very affordable price of 22900 (and hopefully a little less). even tho i wanted silver, if this car is in as good nick as it looks i'll be happy to have white. anyways, has anyone here had much dealings with autostyle? i posted a thread like this some time ago but couldn't find it again. also are there any other places in sydney worth a visit? cheers guys!

North Shore Prestige in Balgowlah - LINK

I didn't end up buying my car there (bought privately) but I found them to be very helpful and they had a good range of cars available. I think I ended up test driving 3 or 4 different cars during one visit and I would have bought from them if I didn't find my current vehicle within a few days of going there.

Worth a look.

:laugh:

I bought my car from "Japlink Motors" Parramatta Rd Haberfield. They have good quality cars and were helpful with info on the car i was looking for.

I went into one car yard on Parramatta Rd and stood there for 5 to 10 mins before i had to ring them from there own car yard to get some service and I told the guy there that i wanted a Black series 2 Type M, he said "I've got a white series 2 gts-t over there". I walked out.

Japlink is worth a look mate! :P

I would have to second this, I have bought 3 cars through these guys and all have been in great mechanical condition. They are great guys to deal with too.

They usually don't stock GTR's though, as they are a little harder to move that stock, but if requested, they will find you one for your price.

Very much worth a look.

:yes:

Japlink is worth a look mate! :)

heya mate.. i second this.. i got my gt-4 from japlink and they've been great about it. They just have about 30 new cars in (not sure if it all reached) so there should be quite abit of range now.

they're friendly unlike the other place near japlink i went to which wasn't so friendly.

I third this!

Bought my car from them. Had very little problems, this one had been in the yard a little while so its problems are due to not being used constantly but they are always helpful if I have any issues, and they can do upgrades as well as reasonable rates.

Fourth opinion... Go see Ben or Adam at Northshore Prestige - I bought my Mint S2 33 Gtst about 4 months ago and the car is absolutely awesome. Low kays and absolutely no mechanical problems.

They have guys in Japan http://ezysolutions.net.au/demo/nshore/new/njapan.htm who make sure that only the best cars get through.

I have pre purchase inspected a number of Autostyle cars and Dom must hate me..... I cant speak for all their cars but i do know Dom will refuse point blank at having us, being Advan Performance, inspect them for fear of us telling it how it is. A customer of ours was going to buy a 34 GTR from Autostyle and when Dom found out he wanted us to inspect it he refused the sale for fear of us "writing the car off". I personally inspect these cars and am not about to lie to anyone, if its a shit box i will tell you, likewise if its a great car

I would strongly suggest having any import, especially an R32 GTR, inspected prior to purchase by someone who can check everything for you and knows the cars inside out. 32 GTR's are getting quite old now and loads of them are really showing their age and the true kilometres travelled.

Well we have a silver skyline Jap Imports are still using on the back of the performance imports mag, if you want to buy it, its a r33 silver with mods, sellin cuz we now moved to wagga and the roads are too rough dirt roads,we owned it since 2002, its a great car and love it, but someone should get a bit of fun outta it..$16,500.

    • Good news!!! Changed the O ring today and Iโ€™ve got the โ€œpssshhhhโ€ back when I open the fuel cap ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ It was 100% the O ring because that bloody thing was inside the fuel tank ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Fitting new fuel pump was a pain as always since the DW is a bit longer than stock. But sheโ€™s running!!! โค๏ธ
    • PWM quite literally just chops the ful 12V voltage on and off at whatever duty cycle you're running it at. If you're running it 100%, then it is on full voltage all the time, same as if there was no PWM. If you run it at 50% duty cycle, it is only seeing the full 12V half of the time. This is broadly equivalent to running it at 6V. But the crucial difference is that motors (and a lot of other loads) don't like being powered at low volts. They will either fail to start rotating, or draw a shit ton of current, or other undesirable things. But if you give them the full volt, and then a short period of no volts, and then some more full volts, then the times when they are seeing power they are seeing all the voltage, and they are happy. But you get the performance out of them as if they were only seeing that fraction of the full voltage. It is not really easy to answer your question about what flow you will get out of it at 50% duty cycle. I can tell you that it is not as simple as you think. For a start, that 460 L/h pump is not going to flow 460 when you're on boost. When you're on boost you will be somewhere down the sloping part of that red line. If you have 15 psi of boost, then the pump can only deliver about 95 gal/h, which is <380L/h. So your simple 50% on 460 = 230 wasn't going to work anyway. But also, it won't deliver 50% of 380 either, because when you devolt or PWM trim th epower being fed to the pump, it is not able to deliver flow or pressure in the same way. 50% duty cycle will probably produce <50% of the full voltage flow. The way to find out what duty cycle you need to run it at at low load (ie, at idle) is to idle it and turn the DC down until you start to lose fuel pressure, then turn it back up above that with some extra for safety. And then you do the same thing at full load, in case it doesn't need anywhere near 100% DC. And if you're careful/caution/prudent, you will also do it at a couple of loads in between so you can shape the DC map against load. It might not be linear between the two end points.
    • Man that dinner was such a long time ago....2010! I would only replace the rubber coolant lines with silicone these days; cheap, readily available and will last for ever. You will need new hose clamps though egย https://justjap.com/products/cooling-pro-silicone-engine-heater-hose-set-black-nissan-r32-gtr-rb26dett
    • I wouldn't look too hard at what they did with the R32 GTR in endurance racing in Australia... Lots of things weren't actually available from the factory in the way those cars ran them... Japan also followed what Fred Gibson was doing here with some of there endurance cars in Japan... Australia is also the reason for things like the Brembo brakes, and the change in the gearbox... And quite a few other tricks they used to pull. There's a few other SAU peeps still on these forums that will have heard the stories direct from Alan Heaphy, Fred Gibson, and Jim Richards when we were lucky enough to have a great dinner with them
    • For all the talk of "these parts are junk" I generally recommend OEM because it's really not as bad as claimed. I have never seen or heard of a case like the N63 where the oil returns completely clog with coked oil for example in ~10 years or less. Would it be nice if it were a straighter path? I guess, but most modern cars use a scavenge pump instead of a pure gravity return. Also the factory lines that would be relatively simple to convert to braided are generally speaking hardlines from the factory. I would consider braided line to be a regression, not an improvement. It's also been engineered such that all the hardlines have appropriate strain relief where needed. There's absolutely room for improvement, for example the HKS advantage heritage intake piping shows just how much can be done to make the turbos fight each other less in OEM twin turbo configuration and reduce compressor surge but it's rarely a simple/straightforward process. I recommend looking at what the group A/N1 cars did, generally speaking the changes they made were necessary and proven in endurance racing.
