hey guys i was thinking about buying this 1993 R32 GTS-T on carsales:

http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/...rch_distance=25

i have to ask u guys a few Questions, your experiances and expertise would be valuable here

a few things woried me when i rang him..

- first of all, he said he wanted 13.5K not 12.3(it was a 'mistake') but will sell for around 13K CASH!

- its been running on 14psi (and apparantly made 167rwkw) for few months, now its back to normal

- may need a new clutch (not a big problem)

- and the main problem i have with it is he said he bought it from his neighbour for 14K 9 months ago and its still registered under his neighbours name :D

This seems dodgy to me, like the cars been stolen, its a rebirth, theres money owing on it or he could just run off with the money once paid, because if he dosn't 'own' it then how can he be selling it. WHAT DO U GUYS THINK? iwould appreciate ur honest opinion

i just don't know how it will work if i buy it, how would i get it registered under my name??

p.s. im in ViC

If he uses the words 'I promise to God' in any of your conversations, then its a cut n shut, rebirth etc :P

in order for it to be registered to u the previous owner (ie the person who its regod with with vicroads) will need to fill out a rego transfer form with you..

if u has one already written up by the 'neighbour' and is trying to sell it on his behalf then walk away...

yeah i wouldnt touch it sounds like its been thrashed pretty bad anyway no clutch and running 14psi...

i bought my '90' model 32 four months ago it took me six months to find a good one untouched im doing work to it myself it has 60,000 on the clock take your time with 32's cause they are old i found alot of screwed ones if you still want it check vin number with vicroads

my question is how did the front plate get smashed up and then flattened out?

major stack methinks

Couldn't agree more and look at the new front bar. But then again I've seen plenty of damaged cars fixed good as new and I reckon 50% of the cars we drive have had repair work done before we bought them. Just go and have a look, check the rails etc and look for repair work. If it's good then hey! If not, leave it.

The whole thing looks a bit sus to me though, keep looking :nyaanyaa:

My 2c

what about this one? looks pretty sweet and alot cheaper than that dodgy one :D

http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/...rch_distance=25

its even got flared guards! and 33GTR wheels (well the front pair anyway)

/i should stop looking at all these 32's, just makes me want to go and buy another one :D

There is also legislation for selling on someones behalf. May not be applicable in this case (dont know Vic Roads fully) but I am selling a Merc for my g/f's step dad who is the executor of an estate. He can legally sign the sale docs as the executor.

Agree there is possibly something odd in this case though

personally I wouldnt even look if the owner cant even spell 'fuel pump' or 'gear knob' or 'stereo' :D probably been neglected for the 9+ months.

you can edit a price 'mistake' on carsales btw, so its a lame excuse.

another thing to make it seem dodgy is that the rego number was entered into carsales incorrectly.. (you can do searches for rego numbers)

136ks, needs a new clutch, probably had a stack at the front and 13k to a dodgy seller.. i'd keep looking..

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs
    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
