If you expect people to take you seriously and answer your questions, learn to talk like an adult instead of a 14yo.

+1

and if its going to cost you heaps to fix - take it to an unsuspecting dealer, trade it in for something thats not going to cost u as much to maintain....

personally - wouldnt have bought that for 14 grand in the first place - 32 gtrs usually around the 20 grand figure if you want a decent one....

FFS - type in english please!!

I have just read two forums of this crap and it annoys the hell out of me when someone spends more time on MSN than in real life.

I work on a LOT of those cars and I'll say right now you are going to need ANOTHER $15k to maintain it!

these guys KNOW the inherent bugs in these cars - listen to them!

Hey guys, i am very happy 2 say dat I am at last a prowd owner of a R32 GTR!! U guys have no idea how bloody rapt i am! Anyways, I had a few questions to ask, how do i turn off the 4WD light in my dash,wont turn off?? does anyone have any problems wit GTR gearbox/transmission? cause my 1 is much louder once it hits 4gear.. and da transmission in general is noisy.

I live in melb, does ne1 no of a place where i can take it 2 get it lookd at and if possible get it roadworthy? I have to get a roadworthy, as i bought it at a auction. U guys would never guess how much i picked it up 4!.....hmmm... $14,750! dunno wat u guys think but i reckon dats a bargain!

buddy i sincerely hope you're joking when you say that $2500 is all you have left for insurance, service, etc. That might get you through with a decent condition gts-t but not a 32 gt-r of all things.... have fun eating bread and water for the next few months.

All the best mate but a 14000 gt-r will cost you a lot more than 14000. To give u an idea:

Service in la-la land where nothing is wrong with your bargain (filters, belts, oil, air-con, 4WD etc): ~$1000

Back here in the real-world: $1000 + ~$3000 gearbox + $3000*+* insurance + roadworthy + registration + tyres..... you get the point.

Good luck

I wont bother trying to flame you with this reply as you're doing a good enough job of that yourself. It is pretty funny that you're 26 and still talk like a 14yo "gangsta" though. If you don't believe me, maybe listen to everyone else on here....they're all singing the same tune...think it's a coincidence..I think not. A big good luck to you with your "bargain" GTR!

p.s. Nice work on spelling sophisticated right.....dictionary.com?

:P

Seriously, you need to get the car to a good mechanic and have him take a look at it. At $14K, we all may be wrong but you would expect it to have a few issues. Look around a bit and you will find several good, serious shop who know Skylines. Many of them will take a look at it for free on the understanding that you will give them business in the future. Once you know what the "real" costs will be, you should consider if you want to keep it or trade it. For 20K you can get a very nice non-GTR car which will be much lower costs to maintain. Part of the pleasure (for me at least) is modding a car how you want it. Spending $$$ on fixing broken things and maintence really diminishes your abilty to do that. Of course if you're good at working on cars, that might be a different situation.

Welcome to the GTR club - it's not a cheap club to be in....

When purchasing a car, Think to yourself,

If i can't afford to maintain the car and insure it, I cant afford to buy it - Regardless if you have enough money to make the purchase. Looks like you just went balls and all and bought it without thinking about that.

Oh well.

Good luck i suppose, Let us know when you get off your p's.

(I am 16 and i can spell better then you. If this is a trolling thread then you've done well)

OK OK.. since everyone has sang the same tune in regards to my typing, I will start writing (as I would in a bloody essay!) I took it to a place in Ringwood (VIC), where apparently thay are well known as being a good store and specialise in GTRs.. Well the verdict was, $2580 (transmission, service etc). Well I guess Im going to have to dig into my savings account again. Once again, thanks to all the people that actually stuck to my topic/questions and their opinions. All the others that seem to be obsessed about my typing and anything else I said, I honestly didn't know guys can moan and cry like that over something so small and insignificant. For any of those interested, I'll post some pics of the car tommorow..

BTW! Me still on Ps?? nah sorry, been off them for quite a while now!

hey buddy,

congrats on the purchase! dont worry about the others being anal - they like that most of the time lol (j/k) although at 26 you do write kinda funny

welcome to the skyline club - fingers crossed yours isn't a lemon. Remember, when it comes to these cars - you get what you paid for, so don't cheap out on parts or service or it will cost you twice as much in the long run.

Post up pics of your new baby for all of us to see too

cheers

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
