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.

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.

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
