R32 Gtr

[Dean.]

Hey, looking at buying a R32 GTR, just wondering what all your opinions are on them with their age. Are they getting to old? will things start going wrong with them due to their age? And they were made from 89 - 94 right? How hard is it to find a late model one (93/94) ?

Cheers

Mine is an August 1993 GTR, which is a shame because its probably one of the last R32 GTR's before they started making the V-Spec models

Anyway, it all comes down to how well the car has been maintained. You will find 1989 models that are in better condition than some of the later 1993-94 models, afterall these are still 12-13 years old as it is.

Preferably buy a local car thats just had a rebuild. I did , very lucky to find it

so what would be good original kms on a 89/90 gtr? how long can these motors go for before it needs a rebuild? i have found an 89 model with 120,000 on it. i know a lot of the really low ones arent geniune kms as they have different dials.

Thats pretty good/low km's. ATM I have 115,000 on the clock, dunno if they are genuine or not though.

A well looked after R32 GTR with minimal mods/stock power can run for +250,000km's without a rebuild.

Some people like to get the engine pressure tested before buying it, but its at the buyers expense and if it does have a leak then the owner has some work to do before selling it or tell the buyer it has a pressure leak.

oh ok, well this one still has stock exhaust and running stock boost, so should be alright. its $25k too, does that price sound about right? i'm going to drive it today to see how it is.

hmm, mine was advertises at $26k, bought it for $24k locally. Try and get him down to $23k or lower unless its immaculate and drives really well.

They are worth the problems.

My 2 cents

hmm well the one i looked at wasn't worth much at all....wasnt even worth looking at. looks as tho its been repaired all over, different panels were slightly different colours, interior...not even worth getting into.

i hear that state-wide autos in leederville have some gtrs so i will go have a look there, maybe tomorrow. has anyone had any dealings with this place before?
