Hey, ive just recently joined the forums, as i did a search for some skyline related forums and came across this nicely looking one.

Im kind of in the process of buying a skyline something along the lines of an R32, and was wondering where i might go about my ways of getting one for a nice price.

Would it be better buying it privately? or through a distributor?

I'm looking towards getting rid of a sonata that's only done 60,000 k's it's a 96. Mac needs his skyline fix.

Thanks fellas for your time.

Mac

www.perthcars.com - I purchased my car (96 R33 Series 2 Gts-t) and Paul (the owner) is a great guy. A few guys have purchased cars through him and many others get parts etc.

www.prestigemotorsport.com.au - Lots of people recommend Geoff. I've never used him, so I can't comment.

Good luck and welcome to SAU :)

Oh god, that is a nice ride. Nice indeed.

You wouldnt happen to be going on a chick named tahlias 18th Car cruise would you? she mainly posts on the antilag forums. if not i could probably get a routemap of the cruise if you are interested.

Yep, it mainly comes down to how much i could get for my car really.

umm yeah i wouldnt trust the braking and handling abilities of some of the OTHER cars attending that cruise :)

macma ring paul at autoworx, he is straight up and will be able to help you for sure even if it is to tell you that he cant bring an r32 in unless its an 89 model

and heck hopefully you can get an r33 if not just for the airbag/s

Macma....Regan has a couple of 32 4doors coming that look sweet www.dcimports.com.au

& Accents have R33 4doors starting from $17000 with 3 year warranty (drove a nice Grey one with a TV & GPS) try www.accentautos.com.au

& YES I know they are all four doors! but thats all I got at the moment :P

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
