Looking At An R32 Gtr

[psybic]

HICAS light can be effected by different: steering wheel, suspension, wheels, etc... so its probably going to be on.

I'd be more worried about compresson being even.

Some people have their turbos last for ages without problems. Some people smoke for years without problems.

Alot of people however, DO have issues with GTR's. Such as cooling and turbo problems. I had both and it was a big issue, had to sell it.

Its not just as simple as looking at the plenum to see how much paint is on there as some people say... lol.

I'd just reckon you need to be prepared to spend alot if you buy a GTR under 20k. Who knows, it might last years without a cent spent...but you'd be foolish to not be prepared for alot of drama's.

Difference with a GTR is... engines are worth a furtune if you need to replace or rebuild and so are turbo's.

So you haven't bought this car yet, but you have ready access to it to see whats wrong with it?

GTR 4WD LIGHT THREAD

For $17k it can't look that good under the bonnet, like psybic says the paint on the plenum is probably all cracked and peeling . Ask the current owner if you can take it for a compression test, its $xxx money well spent on a car thats more than likely ready for a rebuild.

[LTHLRB]

do you mean difference between the base model and vspec model or the diff between a 92 and 94 vspec ?

differences to base model are

faster atessa pro 4wd computer

brembos

17in bbs mesh rims

harder suspension

sticker on the back

many people think the vspecs 32 will be collectable as only 3000 were made . there were quite a lot more 33 vspecs

i dont know the difference between vpsec's in different years if there is any , i dont think there is . I have read that the rb26 in the 94s has some changes that appear in the 33 rb26 but their minor and that would apply to all 94s

so there arnt any engine canges as in fixing weak points etc? I am looking at buying a white 32 94 model gtr vspec with brembos etc.

To be honest the engine looks really really good no paint missing on the plenum it's got crome rocker covers and apparentlly hks cams. i'll post up some pics, but stupid me forgot to take pics of the engine. the car was only driving in rear wheel drive though.

Oh. Lol. check the fuse?

anyway, I'm not saying GTR's are bad. Just saying they are more expensive IF you do need stuff for them than other cars in my experience.

by the way does any one know any places in lansvale sydney that does compression and leak down test's and how much do they usually cost??

sorry about the quality they were taken from my phone.

looks hot

put up sum pics of the engine bay when u get a chance

[LTHLRB]

looks really good mate, i recommend u get someone (a mechanic preferably) to come with you to look at this thing.

[32vspecII]

looks quite tidy

get an inspection from a known skyline focused workshop which would include a compression test

(uas and croydon are just 2 in syd , plenty more)

if it gets good comp figures and theres no rust or accident damage then might be solid bargain

late model 32 changes , but none vspec specific if thats what you mean?

[markimak]

the oil pump.. comes in the later model.

[LTHLRB]

an updated oil pump?

So really any gtr from 92 upwards is fairly good depending on condition.

I'd say more in the August 1993 and onwards , thats when they started the Vspecs anyway.

Mine is an August 1993 model but not a Vspec, although it had an N1 ECU so maybe it was just a trial or end of a run model.

Car looks good mate

Engine bay black...exterior white?

All sounds a bit nasty to me, young owner? Pay the extra & get a clean one.

engine bay looks cleaned up for sale, whats with the FPR and why was it changed.how come the cam cover is not polished, but over all a leak down test would make me sleep better at night if i was buying it..

The fuel pressure reg is in the car cause the car still has standard injectors

and the cam cover is cromed as well.

You mean the coil pack cover.
