Hi All,

I'm a medium time lurker, first time poster.

I am finally taking the plunge and buying an R32 GTR.

I should pick it up on Saturday(Tomorrow)....details and pics can be seen in the buyers post here:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...=147526&hl=

So it is with much anticipation, excitement and a bit of "oh my god, how much is this actually gonna cost me to maintain", that I say hello to all.

I look forward to sharing experiences, knowledge and cruises with you!

Fraser.

nb, but 30k for a 32 GTR? I suppose its had good engine work done to it, id love that engine personally, but the suspension looks to be stock along with the ride hight, and it needs the rear wing.

That being said the interior looks shmick and it looks to be in top condition, good buy man :D wana swap? :)

man looks bloody awesome!

just remove that tape / whatever that is making those terrible eyelids on the front headlights and you have yourself a beast

nice to see some good GTRs going around.. its terrible the amount of shit quality GTRs selling for cheap these days.

Congratulations on your purchase Fraser :D

If you open your wallet right now and you currently have money in there, take photos as you'll probably never see money in there again :(

Welcome and enjoy!

Cheers,

Karen

PS. just joking about the wallet thing...looks like you have yourself a very nice machine ;)

Nice Gtr good luck with it, oh defective on pilar guages, in sight of a crash impact zone, just remember that you can get defected for it. Part from that welcome to the skyline world, and hope to see ya on some cruises. Just dont turn to the dark side and goto BC :|. Sau is the place to be

DAMN it a RICE gtr.. ewww

looks good. u got urself a VSPec 2 which supposively is no better than the garden variety.. just different large brakes. and suspension and styling mods.. well worth it in the end.. 2-5k just for a badge..:)

And active diff!

Nice car engine wise...not loving the white bits inside but hey I would live with it for the engine!

and lets not forget the far quicker processing attesa computer. . . . .

The vspec version of all the gtrs is a far better car, especially at the track and in wet condition and they are MUCH easier to drive. . . . . Not to mention the how rare a genuine 32 vspec 2 is to find. Good buy mate, It is basically a 32 gtr with 33 gtr vspec running gear, great combo.

Thank you all for the encouragement and advice.

I like the white interior...but we'll see how easy it is to live with. The rear wing has been put back on so i'll see which I prefer (on or off).

Oh, and I do not beleive it to be a VSpecII.

While it has the brembo brakes strut braces, I'm sure the vspecII's didnt come out in '92.

The only remaining way I have is to check the codes printed on the attessa controller methinks....

To me, The brakes were the most important part of the VSpec.

I'll let you know how it goes!

Cheers

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
