one thing i wanna say:

cheap GTRs are dumped here from japan for a reason!! if you look at domestic market in japan, the good conditioned GTRs still go for very high price! a good condition R32 GTR wil cost well over 25gs to import, why?? because they can always get sold locally without being forced to dump them to australia or NZ.

so either, buy one really cheap (like 12gs for a R32 GTR), rebuild everything yourself

or buy one in good condition, and drive it for a while before you spend money on it

i have had mine for 1 year and half now, done over 15 thousands ks, and it never missed a beat ( well there are times when work was not done properly so i had to fix it). i paid top money for it tho

I had a 33 GTR first. loved it but wanted something smaller and tougher.

Im in a 1994 GTR Nismo tuned and im in love, considering selling it to get the 34 GTR

but i dont want a 1999 standard type.

They didnt name the 32 GTR Godzilla for nothing.

R33 GT-R hands down, its more advanced and newer, look for 30k if you take your time one will pop up, dont expect to get anything really modded though. Although personally get it as stock as you can, as the more boost that the car has run through it in its life time, will most likely shorten its life expectancy. Oh yeah and try to get either a series 2 or 3 (96/97)

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
