I remeber a thread about a week or two about this particular car on carsales LINKY

My mate has decided he is going to by line and we liked this one cause it was cheap, decent looking and he would get to modd it a bit too...

So what is everyones thoughts?

Tryed searching for the tread but couldnt find it... If anyone knows the tread, please just copy, paste it in here for me...

Cheers,

M

It looks ok. Looks like a bit of a mish mash with all the different bodykit parts, stickers and some sort on hinges on the boot. Whats with that?

I just bought a r32 about 2 months ago and looked at heaps before I found one I liked and I dunno how many i saw that were just plain shit. Yeh they had some nice mods but the panels and paint were all beaten up or the interiors were grotty. If it was me I would be more concerned with how mechanically sound the car is and it's overall condition then as to how hectic the bodykit is and the "mods" on it. Cos in the end you want a car thats gonna last a few years not blow up on you. Since this car is a 1990 model definately get an inspection - State roads do an unreal job! They check everything. That will tell you whether it's worth buying.

Personally this car is not for me, but if your mate likes it and the motors still got some life in it I can't see why it wouldn't be worth buying. I'd offer him less too!

Best of luck, hope your mate finds one he likes

I think I saw that one last year on carsales when my g/f was looking for a gtst... (possibly... might have been one that looked just like it, can't remember the plates).

If it's the same one it's been there for quite awhile, and may not be worth the effort.

not a bad car. but i wouldnt pay any atention to the km reading. unless it has logbooks.

thats easy just ask for the auction sheet to see how honest they are :thumbsup:

working in a import shop i see heaps of these go through. by far our most popular car at the moment.

from experiance they are all not bad. very rarely do we get ones that have mechanicle problems straight of the boat

Arrrggghh!

THought so!

Just a few things about it and waht the guy said is what made me go hummm...

He hasnt registered it, but if he sells he will register it. Seems a bit dodgy!

He said it was so that the car doesnt sit for two months with rego!

nup... we get those guys all the time.

i mean jobs. complying 15yr imports.

it probably was 150000-300000yen.

there just milking the 15yr rule. buy it cheap and sell it to make a buck or 2.

but without the auction sheet you dont know. could be a grade 3 or a r2 for all i know.

How does the grading work?

and how much is 15-30k yen?

How much could i import a car of that calibur for myself? 10 k or under?

the km reading will be bogus. just open the oil cap and inspect the colour of the cam bearings.

if its really clean thewn its genuine ks.

slightly brown 120-150k

almost black 200k+

posibly clicked the 1 back to 0 on the dash.

but my gtr has 198k on it. and its fine apart from the turbos going (oil seal)

but it had service history from new

The red one was an absolute bucket. It has dodgy panels all over the joint, different coloured red body panels, had paint which was flaking off...

Had a huge ding just behind the front bar where the bottom of the radiator sits, had heeps of oil on turbo/dump pipe as well as a hole in the zorst gasget!

The thing had a hard life, from what i could see it was a race car, with all the modz pulled off before it went to auction.

It also had heeps of lose wiring under the bonnet and all though the car... part of the boost controller was sitting on the floor and the dude didnt even know if the hand controller from the boost controller was a turbo timer or a boost controller!

The thing was a bucket.!

Oh and the cams wear very dark brown!

I hope this stops anyone on this forum from buying a death trap!

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
