Hey guys.

Does anyone know what other cars used the same rear end as a 1991 R32 Skyline GTR? I keep stiking out as I am looking to replace EVERY seal and bearing in the cars rear end. I would think Nissan probably used this rear end in a couple cars.

Or better yet, can someone put me in touch with a company there in Australia that would be able to get these parts. I live in the United States and Skylines were never sold here. As such, NONE of my local parts stores even have skylines in their computer systems. One fellow I spoke to today said he had never even heard of a skyline! I have even called performance shops all over the USA today, and nobody has a thing. I am losing my mind!

Any help would be amazing!

Mate, z32 300zx Share the same parts.

Will all be off the shelf for em.

Cheers

I confirmed this in Nissan Fast, there may be more numbers than these, but if you print that page out go to your local Nissan and find the diff with those numbers in it you should be right.

Might be a stretch but the parts guy (Steve) at Northside Nissan here in Perth is VERY good at what he does and he has a GTR himself so he is an enthusiast too!

No idea if he'd be willing to ship anything to the US but it wouldn't hurt to ask.. +61 9409 0120 and our timezone is GMT+8 :)

Webber and Bubba, Thank you guys very much! I will try out both of these avenues and see what happens. I will see if the parts are the same here in the states between both the 300 and GTR first. If that fails, I will try getting in touch with the parts fellow. Thank you both!

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
