With the new laws coming in I suspect the market will fall out of the skylines in QLD.

this is a good point actually

it's amazing the amount of import yards that have opened up trying to get a piece of the action, even in coorparoo there's an old caryard that got revamped and now has skylines ahoy in it

all these crappy little businesses thought they had a goldmine, now it's about to go splat

i only hope that this doesn't make skylines a ton harder to buy in future, say if someone wanted to buy say a 32 for fun =P

You see R32 GTRs trying to sell for 18,500 and not selling... So yeah... luck :)

I was going to sell mine and get a R32 GTR... buy as it appears the efforts as most definately pointless.... So I shall keep my car and work on it :)

You could always try boostcruising (er...), performanceforums.org (I think... google performance forums with pages from australia only selected) and you could try nissansilvia.com, the trading post... I don't know anywhere else off the top of my head.

Good luck, you've got I want (R32 with R33 engine) but alas, can't get rid of mine :D

yeah good luck - the market has changed dramatically. I'm trying to sell my R33 GTR now. Makes it hard not many people want to pay 20 for a car that's 17 years old.

Now days its cheaper to buy a car here in oz than it is to import which sucks.

thanks for the input, ive chucked it on trading post and boostcruising as well as car sales now so here's hoping. I'm negtoiable but i do think it's a fair price if stock 32's go for around the high teens. I'm sure somone out there can see the value in my mods. If u think otherwise feel free to let me kno

rims, power fc + tune, z32's, brakes, clutch, rotars, ENGINE and alarm weren't cheap so whatever Einstein, you let me know. My numbers there if u wanna come round for a chat

Yeah good luck on the sale. Skylines are near impossible to get rid of atm. And you have to remember mods are worth nothing on a cars resale. I spent close on the value of your 32 on Mods on my 33 GTR, quality mods too fixing all the GTR weaknesses, ie; suspension, brakes, cooling, oil supply issues etc. . . . plus some HP mods and I still ended up losing $15K on the original cost of importing the thing stock when I sold it! Not even including the cost of modding it aswell! So yeah, chances are you will have to bite the bullet and loose the money if you want to move it, or as said earlier own it for a long long time and get your $$s worth.

Keep it, that is what I have decided to do. Just did the suspension and brakes (engie rebuild, computer zort already done) now the intercooler and then I will just drive it.

Might as well enjoy my moniesworth instead of flogging it off for something that I don't really need anyway...

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
