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:

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

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
