This is not true. GTR's are definately not bulletproof. Many of them have had a hard life and as a result will quite happily blow turbos and if pushed blow engines also, in which case you will be up for $8k+ for a full rebuild. GTS-T's and GT-T's have less things to go wrong and the rb20's and 25's are quite strong and will take a fair bit of abuse however they can also blow turbo's but there is only one to replace. I think you should do some more reading on this forum before you buy. Many people compare r34 gt-t's to r32/r33 gtr's (there are many other threads on this). Just know that if you get a bad GTR it will cost you a packet!!

They didn't do anything to the gearbox?

Pox camera phone pics... but oh well.

If you think that $13k is all it is going to cost you, you are sadly mistaken. There are many GTR's for sale that are very cheap but it is for a reason. With GTR's nothing is cheap and if you get one that has not been looked after you will find out how expensive they can be and if you are tracking it you will find out most likely on your first track day with it. For now... There are many ways to make a car run well during a test even if its fkd. Running thick oil, cutting wiring to warning lights etc, etc. If it really is mechanically sweet it seems VERY cheap even despite average body and interior condition. Logically though, if it looks rough inside and out I dont think it would have been looked after very well which means if you buy it you will be the one paying for that neglect. For a cheap track day car, an R32 GTR simply does not work cause they just arent cheap when including all costs. As suggested by others above, an R32 GTS-T is a much better alternative and they are quite resiliant, besides which a replacement rb20 is pretty cheap anyway!

I was of the understanding that aluminium is not really 'workable' metal and cannot really be repaired. Therefore the bonnet and front side gaurds (of an R32 GTR) if dented would be a throw away job?

I just updated my Firefox and you can now add skins. There are thousands already and of course I looked for skyline / gtr skins but there were only a few and nothing special. Has anyone on here developed a skin or found one that looks good?

Cheers!

R34 GTR rims were available in different sizes/offsets?????????????

Hmmm, yeah it seems like it's not worth the hassle. Don't want something that could attract a fine even if it's legal. Gotta love being guilty until proven innocent... Hooray for Victoria

As the topic title suggests, I was wondering if this is legal or not? I've seen a few GTR's with the number plate mounted to the side leaving the intercooler un-obstructed which looks quite tough imo. I know some evo's come with a number plate holder side mounted from factory but I figured it's illegal unless the car came like that?

The year of a car is determined by it's first year of registration. For example, I used to have an r32 gts-t that was a 93 model but FAST listed it's 'build' date as November 92. Likewise a friend bought a commodore at the start of last year which is listed as an '09 model but the car was 'built' in 2008.

Great shot!! Do you have the full size?

Wow, that's awesome! Great to see people still living life to the fullest after 50

^^ wtf are you posting those pics in this thread for??

Yeah that was you. You guys were out at the cars with the boot open when I went past

This evening: 2 R34's parked in Mordi/Parkdale as I drove by. Also JDM cop on the freeway

As people have said 300's are very difficult to work on. The engine bay is so tight! And they can be problematic... buying one for $7k would be buying a lot of headaches. 180's were sold at same time as the 32 and were the cheaper car. Interior is not as nice (imo), 4 stud limits rim choice and although the sr20 is a solid engine they dont sound near as good as an rb. But either a 32 or 180 would be ok... its really personal preference Edit: Just realised most of the points I just raised are the same as 1802NV above, ah well seems to be a similiar view throughout this thread

Nothing worth buying. No

Sounds like you need to do a bit of research on this site.... Its not the type of car to buy without being WELL informed. There are plenty of terrible examples for sale and you DO NOT want to end up with one of them cause it will spend more time off the road than on and will cost you a small fortune. Edit: They are nothing like rotaries needing 100,000km rebuilds... the reason sooo many have been rebuilt is that people boost them high and drive them very hard and track them and then they go pop. Any car that has been rebuilt has either not been well looked after or driven... other than when some owners decide to take out the engine and rebuild it with forged internals as they plan to modify the car and want to strengthen the engine

Here are some:

600ps at engine or wheels??

400ps is roughly 293kw... which I assume u mean at all 4 wheels? I would have thought that is pretty conservative estimate with GT-SS turbo's and supporting mods..... let alone adding the 2.8 kit??

Wowee.... That kit sounds awesome.... WANT....

Gun-metal 32 GTR with white rims - Kings way, city bound around 5:30pm today. Gave you a beep and thumbs up!

Nice! Have you considered lowering it? Front would look a fair bit better if it sat a bit lower in my opinion... still car looks really clean!
