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 :P, very lucky to find it

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.

cheers

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.

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?

      I neglected to respond to this previously. Get it up to 100 psi, and then you'll be OK.

      I agree with everything else, except (and I'm rethinking this as it wasn't setup how my brain first though) if the sensor is at the end of a hose which is how it has been recommended to isolate it from vibrations, then if that line had a small hole in, I could foresee potentially (not a fluid dynamic specialist) the ability for it to see a lower pressure at the sensor. But thinking through, said sensor was in the actual block, HOWEVER it was also the sensor itself that broke, so oil pressure may not have been fully reaching the sensor still. So I'm still in my same theory.   However, I 100% would be saying COOL THE OIL DOWN if it's at 125c. That would be an epic concern of mine.   Im now thinking as you did Brad that the knock detection is likely due to the bearings giving a bit more noise as pressure dropped away. Kinkstah, drop your oil, and get a sample of it (as you're draining it) and send it off for analysis.

      I myself AM TOTALLY UNPREPARED TO BELIEVE that the load is higher on the track than on the dyno. If it is not happening on the dyno, I cannot see it happening on the track. The difference you are seeing is because it is hot on the track, and I am pretty sure your tuner is not belting the crap out of it on teh dyno when it starts to get hot. The only way that being hot on the track can lead to real ping, that I can think of, is if you are getting more oil (from mist in the inlet tract, or going up past the oil control rings) reducing the effective octane rating of the fuel and causing ping that way. Yeah, nah. Look at this graph which I will helpfully show you zoomed back in. As an engineer, I look at the difference in viscocity at (in your case, 125°C) and say "they're all the same number". Even though those lines are not completely collapsed down onto each other, the oil grades you are talking about (40, 50 and 60) are teh top three lines (150, 220 and 320) and as far as I am concerned, there is not enough difference between them at that temperature to be meaningful. The viscosity of 60 at 125°C is teh same as 40 at 100°C. You should not operate it under high load at high temperature. That is purely because the only way they can achieve their emissions numbers is with thin-arse oil in it, so they have to tell you to put thin oil in it for the street. They know that no-one can drive the car & engine hard enough on the street to reach the operating regime that demands the actual correct oil that the engine needs on the track. And so they tell you to put that oil in for the track. Find a way to get more air into it, or, more likely, out of it. Or add a water spray for when it's hot. Or something.   As to the leak --- a small leak that cannot cause near catastrophic volume loss in a few seconds cannot cause a low pressure condition in the engine. If the leak is large enough to drop oil pressure, then you will only get one or two shots at it before the sump is drained.

      Help! Leak coming under transmission

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
