Hey guys,

I'm in Canada and going to be getting an R32 GTR early next year. There's really only one problem that alot of us might have here.. parts. So seeing as you guys have alot there already, where would the best place be to order parts? From anything from a water pump to a fender. Speed in getting them would be a big deal as well, can;t go without not driving it for too long if something major happens :) Nissan dealerships here would be useless and there aren't a whole lot of Skyline junk cars to rip spare parts out of down in the united states.. Any help or advice would be appreciated!

Im sure Nissan dealerships would be able to source you parts from Japan (same as here), but theyre expensive. Otherwise just find somewhere selling any parts youre after, but shipping on heavy items will be a real killer.

Other option is to spread the word to young habiby street racers to buy them, then give them a few months before theyre written off and you've got yourself a parts paradise :)

Canada ay? Sorry couldn't help myself :)

Seriously though, you'd probably be better getting in contact with a parts supplier here...seeing as dealing directly with Japan you have an obvious language barrier with most places (damn us ignorant anglos)

Most of the suppliers here have all there contacts sorted in Japan and would probably be more than happy to have sotck waiting over there directed to you in Canada instead of Australia.

thanks for the responses

do any of you have email addys or websites to companys that would be able to export parts out? have to ask them a few questions

chances are i'm going to get a bunch of replacement parts with my car when it's sent out to save on shipping and prepare for things breaking, i'll cross my fingers though! hopefuly a 4.0 grade car won't have much of that :) i'll sure miss my rex though

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
