First off I tried searching, checked the first few pages and found nothing, but I wasn't goin to look through 49 pages worth.

Anyway my question is basically what years did Nissan manufacture the R32 in a 4 door version?

I've noticed mainly 1989 models, which turns me off a little bit as thats now a 20 year old car. Searching carsales I noticed one 1990 model and one 1991 model, since these were the first I've seen, I wasn't sure f it was a typo or not.

So basically just after a little bit of history here, I'm sure there's some Skyline history people out there who know exactly what I want to know.

Thanks, Tom.

PS I am just asking as 4 door R32's have always been one of my favourites, and I am considering selling my 180SX to find a good one (with hopefully some cash for rims/coilovers, stock 180SX sucks haha).

The r32 my engine was out of was a 92 or a 93 rb25de :P

Uh, ok, but I'm asking about production.

89-94 as far as im aware

Really? I thought the 2 door was manufactured 89-93 and the GTR went the extra year from 89 to 94. I've mainly noticed 89 4 door models and as I said the one 90 and one 91 models.

the 89 four door i had was quite a straight clean car, all comes down to how well the previous owner

looked after it, i had sum anal asian guy own mine before me, no rust no dents nothing wrong what so ever

Some applications on the net like carsales and ammi don't recognise the 1989 skyline as an r32, only an r31. This is because the r32 started production in 1989 while they were still running the r31.

So I guess they just decided to change the r32's starting year to 1990 so it wouldnt be confusing...

As for being 20 years old..ask any skyline owner what kind of shape their car was in from import and I'm pretty sure everyone will say great. Japan has a turn over of their cars every 5 years to keep their economy booming, they raise the tax or something on old cars so its cheaper to buy a new car than keep the old one. Japan doesn't wnt them so thats why they get imported here. I've had my 1989 gts-t 4door for a month, I'm the second australian owner and I got it with 104,000km.

It's very rare to find a skyline thats got alot of k's on it. Finding a late 90's model holden with that low k's is pretty hard. It's only when you're looking at a skyline thats been owned by an aussie that you need to watch out for - in the sense of driving conditions here compared to japan.

Good luck car searching. r32's are the hottest looking skyline :D

Just found this forum aswell...

OH YOUNG GRASSHOPPER. YOU HAVE MUCH TO LEARN!!!!

Do you honestly think a 20 year old car has only done 70-120,000kms... Oh you make me laugh..

Let me spell it out for you. Rolling back odometers... I have been involved in the used car industry both local cars and imports.. All I can say is, if you live by your words quoted and you buy a car based off kms... Then god so help you sunshine.

For disclaimers sake. I no longer work in such a shady industry! So please no flaming!

    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
