Fixing a R33 early vspec GT-R I picked up its missing the bumper in the front and some other parts.

Looking for the following items

Front:

bumper beam

Lower late model lip

Late model HID XENON headlights

Turn signals with grills

Intercooler front grill

also i need the side skirt that attaches to the driver fender.

so Im looking for the front end like this.

im in the states so you can text me via whats app 818-481-5633

Getting that lower lip will be like getting blood from a stone, basically you ring nissan and pay 1200aud for a new one or you don't get one cause no one lets them go and basically the head lights are the same issue.

If you grab the early stuff it can be had cheaper and be easier to find

Hi Victor and welcome!

Just an aside, how old do cars have to be for one to legally own a GT-R in your state of California?

We notice that R32 GT-Rs are being shipped to Canada and USA now - with more talk about them in NAGTROC.

Have you tried NAGTROC for parts?

Legal import to USA is 25 years old, cant title/register in California unless the car goes through an Reg Importer in the usa and that will cost about $15,000 usd. and if they want to take on the job as there are only 2 Reg importers in the USA who work on these cars with the Federal issues, the laws and paperwork. I'm sure sean morris will chime in here.Canada there is talk with the insurance lobby that wants to see imported RHD cars end, as there is a valuation issue on them as they are not officially sold there. Nagtroc is a community of people who are coming over from other brands and really have not to much idea on Nissan history and what parts came from where, there is only a handful of people on there and were talking less than 30 people on there who know, so I figured i'd post on here and see what sort response would come from it :).

as far as importing : cars have to be 25 years or older and do not import on the year make sure its +1 year old of the 25 rule.

My R33 is legally imported and with full documentation but its not a process I will be repeating "AGAIN"

If you guys would like to have an American Subforum here on SAU, PM Prank or Nismoid and they can decide if it should be set up. We have a NZ Subforum as you can see if you scroll down.

    • You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.
    • 98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.
    • Anyone know alternatives to powerplus tungsten? Can't find an alternative online. 
    • 95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
    • Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha
