Hey mate - there is only one way you are going to be able to import your own R32 and that is through one of the brokers who haev already bought cars and they are 'in stock'. DOTARS have effictivly stopped the 15yr old rule.

I would suggest that you look locally at the R32's and the R33's that are available. Try www.carsales.com, I was looking there yesterday and there is 9 pages of cars :headspin: Follow these rules

1. get a manual, don't look for a cheap auto to convert ($$$)

2. Stick to your purchasing budget (most of the good manual R33's seemed to average about $17k+)

3. get an apexi PFC - they can be had for $1000 now!!!

4. get new injectors that suit your car, someone on the forums got reconditioned and hiflowed units fromthe states for ~$500. you might get new Sard units for $650 ~600cc

5. get a 3 or 3.5 inch exhaust from the turbo back (you can get these S/H from your friends on the forums). Note - most systems are from the cat back

6. get a decent cat (not a generic hi-flow), I use an Andretti magnaflow 3in (from the US).

7. get a HKS 2540, or GT-RS turbo (you might be lucky enough to find one S/H from here)

8. bosch 044 pump (again - seek the forums)

9. hybrid front mount intercooler (cheaper than the GTR unit) yawn - forums...

10. enjoy your easy 250rwkw on low boost....

If you are a smarty shopper, you may be able to pick up a modded example, but be VERY careful that it is modded right - get someone from a shop that knows skylines to check it out. The $150 - $200 you spend could save you a lot of time, worry and money.

if you need to know anything else, PM me as I rarely get in this section.

Cheers

mate...200rwkw is plenty on the streets....if it's for street use only I'd recommend a higher average power rather than a high power at one rpm point (I remember SydneyKid saying something like that). 225rwkw on a RB20 is laggy...

IF you're gonna do a conversion make sure you get some more cubes. RB25 or RB30...

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
