Hi fellas, how are use...?

Im having trouble finding the right r32 gts-t! Ive searched in a out of numerous car yards throughout melbourne but have only found crapy, re-painted, hugely priced and tampered with r32's. This would be my first skyline so am quite fussy and know what iam looking for! I was wondering if any of use know a half descent place to get one from???

Cheers :D

id just hit carsales/trading post, and look everyday.

its tuff to find a nice clean example of a 32gts-t

good luck.

Ditto, when looking for mine, I would look on carsales week after week and most of the cars I would not even consider looking at or they were too expensive. If you are like me you will want a stock one that is less likely to have been driven to the sh*t, but its not easy.

All I can say is be patient, the right one will come and you will know it is what you want! Best of luck and when you get it make sure you post up pics in the 'r32 pics only' thread in the photography section of this site....

i reckon buying cars advertised on forums is not really a good idea, cars are pretty much overpriced because there are alot of enthisiats that think that their car is worth alot more than what they really are, i mean common its late 80's to early 90s car. Just browse them to get a fair idea.

I like to think and im sure alot of people agree that R32s and R33a are not worth alot nowadays.

I bought my R33 GTST series 2 with 76 thousand genuine kms and a 16 month mechanical warranty for 10 Thousand. Off carsguide. your best bet is sites like this, carsales, drive etc etc

Trust me, youl find the right one, and if you call up thinking you found the perfect car, then the owner tells you its sold, dont giveup, youl find a better one at a better price!

Good luck mate.

haha, the hunt for the perfect r32. I think every r32 owner have gone months searching for the best one. Took me probably a year of searching. Best place is carsales and SAU/nissansilvia. Carsales always have overpriced r32's but usually good bargains pop up.

Try to stay away from most import dealers, although SSV on princess highway seems like one of the only trusted dealers floating around.

Any car you decide to buy, first take to an import mechanic for pre-inspection, take to an ac workshop for a pre-inspection and maybe even a tyre/suspenion workshop for a pre-inspection.

That way you can find any hidden problems with the car :P

Although, maybe your budget is too low to find a decent r32? r32's range from $9000 to $15,000 and if your budget is the low $9k dont expect a decent model.

Cheers

Edit:

SSV is located at the corner of Huntingdale Road and Princess Hwy on the direction towards Dandenong. It is right after the junction, so you gotta keep left before you see the lights.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
