i know hes probably sprayed the chassis but there's no excuse not to have one. shame really he was considering it and its got some nice parts.

All Skylines 32-34 are imports, with the exception of the 100 (now substantially less) R32 GTRs that were Australian delivered. End of story.

i assume you mean the compliance plate, could be on the door sill, thats where mine is

ummmmm... hate to come off as "rude" or anything and trust me im not inteding to sound rude..

but like... at 60 grand worth of GTR and this much work on it... do you really think that it would be an un-complied car?

i mean, skylinesaustralia IS above all a community.. i would say there's a good chance the owner of that car is on here... and there's a good chance he may read this thread..

do you think he'd appreciate that someone is saying his car is "dodgy and questioning the legality of it?

loose lips sink ships.. and, being that it's not you buying nor selling the car.. i don't really think that it's .. (trying not to sound rude) but i don't see how it's any of your business...

furthermore - what is an "import sticker" - do you mean compliance plate? how do you know it doesn't have one? do you even know where to look? perhaps you should maybe ask questions before "assuming" it's a dodgy import..

oh and one more thing... these "dodgy R32's around" that you wonder if they're legal... care to elaborate on what you mean by that?

not at all mate though you cant take chances these days, if its been stolen from someone here that person would want to know about it right? this happened to a friend of ours once in that they bought the car and it had full rta papers, only thing is it wasnt the car on the papers and the car ended up getting confiscated and the person fled. no car and no money. i have advised my nephew to call the seller and get it worked out

in THAT case i understand :)

but the compliance plate (if that's what you're referring to) SHOULD be on eiter the firewall or the Bpillar passenger side door..

should most likely be a pink plate - but that all depends on when it was complied and by who etc...

all of these questions are REALLY best asked to the seller... he should be happy to help you out!!!

and for what it's worth... i (personally) doubt someone would be asking 60 grand for a stolen GTR that's hot... if it's stolen they probably want to get rid of it as quietly as possible :P

at least thats the way i do it when i steal and rebirth cars..

why is it that there would be substantially less ADM R32 GTR's....wouldnt they be rare and carefully looked after by owners??????

and how can you say something like that???? have you seen proof of written off, wrecked ADM 32GTR's

just wondering

Oh i'm sure there's been a substantial amount written off, i seem to recall hearing about at least one or two. Dig around on the forums and you'll probably find threads about even more.

They're not a young car and I have a family friend whom is high up in a prominent Nissan dealer who has lead me to believe this. However, it is heresay and conjecture.

Who is to say they were all carefully looked after? You see Bugatti Veyrons written off from time to time, shit happens.

Edit: when I say substantial, it can't be taken out of proportion. I believe there would be 75 or more still on the roads. Which is plausable. It might only be a small amount of cars, but when you only start off with 100, substantial can be only a handfull.

    • Hi all. So one of my major issues at the moment is my rear turbo leaking oil on the exhaust (and the general area). I presumed it was the rock hard super old drain hose, which it was not. So now I am in the midst of removing the rear turbo to get access to the banjo bolt that goes into the turbo oil feed. As one of the previous owners accidentally? tore off the OEM oil feed hardline that reaches behind the turbo, they ran braided lines directly to the turbo, presumably PTFE. Now, regardless if the line has rubber or teflon inside, is it just generally a bad idea to do this? I imagine these lines get quite hot being between the engine, turbo core and exhaust manifold. I suppose it's not too far fetched to think the line may even have melted. I'd love to hear your opinions on this as as the replacement OEM hardline piece is 130 per unit. And cutting open the currently mounted line to see inside will mean I just have to get a replacement either way. So far I am hoping maybe the bolt just loosened or (god forbid) they forgot one of the crush washers.
    • If it's a factory 20de manual probably has the 6 bolt flywheel in which case the det clutches won't work as they're 9 bolt.
    • All RB push clutches are interchangeable. AFAIK, the 4cyl ones are not. Different flywheels. The RB small box is not identical to the 4cyl boxes. Just very similar.
    • Hi. I need a new clutch for my gearbox. It is a factory smallbox behind RB20DE NEO. What options do i have? If iam not mistaken the gearbox should be the same as in R32 GTST and Nissan S14/S15? I found some Xtreme Clutch Stage 1 for S14/S14 (i dont know if you know the brand) (UK) OR...is the clutch same as in the bigbox from RB25DET?   Thank you!
