Just wondering if anyone who has or is importing an R32 GTR could shed some light on the process for me, and give me some tips for things to look for as far as condition and costs Iam going to be up for with fixing the car up.. I've heard prestigemotorsport is one of the best to go with.. Did any of you get bank loans for these cars if you did I do need some advice in that area as well... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are heaps of threads in the importation forum that have all the info you need, or just do a search.

:werd:

but for god sake don't buy and import a 15yo GTR if you need a loan to pay for it.

Insurance is a killer, and you need it if you have a loan.

The quality of the car that arrives is a lucky dip...will you have $6000 if you need to rebuild the engine when it gets here?

Last thing you want is a great car like a GTR sitting broken in the garage for 6 months while you pay off a loan on it

If you go to any of these Brokers you may as well go to www.japanautodirect.com as the links show the same cars at various brokers as stock and you dont have to pay the $1,100.

Links at various sites coming from the Aussie Brokers showing same stock.

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
