Hey guys,

I need some help finding some information. Alright, I'll be living in Tokyo for the next three years. I've been here for six months and I'm new to the skyline scene. I bought myself a R32 GTS-T 4 door and i'm in love.

My question is where to find New parts or skyline specific garages? Now i know of Up garages, autobacs and all those other chained owned stores. What I'm trying to find is new parts or garages that will supply me with what i'm looking for. I'm looking for Nismo owned parts to be more specific, but I'll go with any other racing brand in that spectrum like Apex'i, HKS, etc. Am I chasing a dream finding these parts? Anyhow, any information that the community can provide me will greatly be appreciated.

Thanks Mark for the link. I will also be enjoying myself here in Japan indeed.

As for the Nismo factory, I heard its just for show. You know one of those things to check out one time or two. They don't really sell car parts as much as souvenirs in their gift shop. But I might as well go check it out and see what I can find.

Thanks man.

Not only do they sell parts at the Nismo factory but they fit them as well. There is a huge workshop that is separated from the showroom by big glass windows so that you can see what is happening in the workshop while looking around the showroom.

just curiously, what is it costing you in registration and insurance for such an old car? everyone keeps talking about how cars become really uneconomical to keep the older they get, so some first hand account would be great!

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
