hey peeps my friend is looking at a r32 to buy and the guy has $10,500 on it. Just wondering if you guys think this is too much or not.

I've listed details below and we took a pic:

Model: Nissan Skyline 1989 4 door GTS-T

Engine: RB20DET

Km’s: 156000

Paint: Dark blue. Needs slight patch up on drivers side near rear wing and on rear bar just below boot.

Body kit: Stock. Fibreglass bonnet with carbon fibre overlay

Wheels: Stock 16s.

Tyres: Front Nankang. Rear: Yokohama A Drives

Engine Accessories: GFB Blow Off Valve. APEXi pod filter. Boost is running at 11psi. Aftermarket exhaust

Suspension: Tein coil overs all round.

Interior: Steering wheel is a bit ratty due to age. No front speakers. Rear speakers aren’t properly secured just been too lazy to do it. Aftermarket boost gauge installed in air vent.

Sedans are less popular, and 89's are the oldest of the lot. If that car is an auto it is deffinately over priced. If not considering how stock it is and its age, id be aiming to get it for $9k if its in good nick.

its manual. its in great condition apart from the 2 spots where the paint is bad and the steering wheel. almost brand new tyres on the rear (so obviously its probably been flogged or just alot of wear) but we've had it checked out n the mechanic reckons its in top shape

$10,500 is a bit much IMO considering the km's on it.

There are a few on carsales for $10,000 with under 100,000kms..

(But then some people don't care about km's as much as I do.)

All R32 GTS-T's are between 14 - 18 years old. If you think a car of that age has less than 100,000km (which means it has done less than aproximately 7000km - 5500km per year!!) then good luck to you. Most of the skylines brought into Australia are wound back. I would never buy an r32 that had less than 100,000km and think that the k's were genuine...

So when it comes to skylines the number on the dash means little. You need to assess the condition of the car and engine and get it inspected and judge for yourself.

I think there would still be a few with genuine low kms..not many but a few.

I have an r32 sedan for sale as well. puttin new (genuine 120,000km) motor in it as we speak.

Odo reads 120 (beleive it was wound back) Mechanically it is in top shape.

few months ago i saw an 89 GTR for sale @ carsales.com.au with 300,000kms...... :P

Your point? :)

People can say all they want but I had an 89 Silvia that was a straight import which I got in..04? It only had 20,000km on the clock. Don't try and argue because I had the servicing books and 2 mechanics have since had a look (because it's been pulled apart recently to have an RB20 dropped in) Both have said that the odometer hasn't been touched..& coincides with the overall condition of it at the time.

Then y are u doing an engine replacement?

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
