hey guys i finally have a skyline after almost two years i finally got fed up of looking for one and got it ;) lol.. it was either this or wait a about 12 months for a 34, i really didnt want to wait any longer and ive always been looking for a 32 like this so when it came up i went and had a look, the only thing is it is stock as a rock which i think is a good thing..

>Its a '92 R32 gts-t

>86,... kms

>coupe

>manual

>black

I bought it on saturday from a place called japcar on sydney rd(anyone dealt with them??), i went there about 4 times to look at this car and on the 4th i got it, it looks very tidy and it drives really smooth. it should be ready in about two weeks because he said he has to get a compliance plate for it (i thought this should have been done already), and then book it in to be registered at vicroads.

So for now i guess i just have to play the waiting game...

and look for an alarm/immobaliser that works well with a TT, and insurance, sound system, wheels, exhaust, suspension omg so much to do anyway we'll see what happens 1 mod at a time.

Just thought i'd share the good news and show some pics.

Another addition to the black R32 Brotherhood! Join up SAU vic and enjoy the benifits!

It's not unusual that dealers and private importers will wait until they have a buyer until they do compliance. Otherwise they have more money tied up with a car that is just sitting in a yard...

looks hot. I was thinkin of buyin a car off these guys..

Cars are usually resprayed I would say, and for standard cars they are a little pricey but if ya car looks that mint then its worth it.

exactly, it was a bit considering its stock but it looks damn good and if it doesnt give me much trouble then i cant complain but we'll see when i get it hey

yes car has been resprayed fractory black colour i think it black pearl metalic

all their cars are respays some same as oringinal some comletely different colour like a couple blue 32s he had

Come to the meet anyways :)

My advice when you get the car, is book a full service on it asap. Get all the oils replaced with new quality stuff. My gearbox was running fine in the first 2 weeks and then started to crap down. Probably didn't have gearbox oil change since Japan

Get fuel filter changed, afm checked/cleaned, o2 sensor checked/changed, spark plugs checked/changed etc

Hope to see it at many sau-vic events :)

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
