How about making sure this one has oil in it before you drive it.

cheerz fats... whats the conversion rate?... i had to do a rough estimate using US list price from around april... that's all i got on my desk here @ work...

6400 too much for an R32 GTR??? hmmm... i paid 17,250.00 for a fully complied (93) R32 GTS-t with a 2 year warranty and scheduled servicing.... hmmm.... 6400 sounds sweet to me...

DaiOni: cheers man, I honestly never realised they where that cheap... i think i'll have to save up and get one so i can start drifting (As i see drifting on public streets as just plain stupid)...

So, how much would it cost to bring one over? if i where to bring 2 over (me + a friend) would it cost less? (ie 2 cars in same boat = less fuss etc?)

if you don't want to post here and clutter up the thread with off-topic convo could you email me at [email protected] please as I have a whole heap of questions...

Thanks again dude.

Dave.

there can be some for 9. but who buys em no noe.  

ive got a friend in  yokahama area. he can get them real cheap.  mostly r32's are real cheap the rest would be expensive. since there is a 15year rule going on.

You should start your own importing business. You'd do really well

The Government has recently changed the 15 year old rule

You have to wait now unit the car is actually 15 yrs old

example

8/1989 model (when 32 gtr started)

you have to wait till august 2004 to import it.

There are some coming in January 2004, because people got in early for approval before the rules changed about 2 months ago.

This will try and stop a flood of cars in January

32 gtst

32 gtr

mx5

300zx

sw20 mr2 turbo

etc.

I paided 400000yen fob $6100aus. for my 95 gtst turbo manual 61,000 in nov 2002.

exchange rate was 68 yen/Aus$ at today's rate 79 yen $5063 save another $950

it cost me all up landed in Australia $9300

plus $2200 compliance plus tyres.

total cost $12,500 plus rego and tyres.

at the time you could not by a 95 for under $19-20,000.

If you can get a 32gtr for 500000 FOB (free on board which is export costs in japan.

total cost in Australia with modifications done which are required would be approx $11,500 plus rego.

That is a cheap GTR.

If you can get a invoice for less than you paided (say300000yen) you can save more by only paying 15% duty and 10% gst on the that amount

that will save another $600 approx.

For all the knockers out there you can get GTR for this price.

If you own a 32 gtr or any other car listed above, expect the price to drop heaps by the end of 2004.

A mate of mine is in Japan at the moment filling his next container, and can buy

GTIR pulsar and 33 4 door non turbo 32gtst, silvia/180sx from about 40,000yen ($500) un-damaged.

Hope this this helps.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
