R32 Gtr Probs--help!

[KLA#ZLA]

IM LOOKING TO BUY AN R32 GTR AND EVREYBODY KEEPS TELLING ME DIFFERENT THINGS ABOUT THEM, LIKE I WAS TOLD TO ONLY BUY AN R32 GTR IF THE ENGINE HAS BEEN REBUILT BEACAUSE THEY HAVE MOST LIKELY BEEN THRASHED AND WILL DIE IF NOT REBUILT, THEN I WAS TOLD THAT IF THE ENGINE HAS BEEN REBUILT ITS ALREADY BUGGERED SO BUY AN ENGINE THAT HASNT BEEN REBUILT. SO THE MAIN PROBLEM HERE IS FINDING A CAR THAT HASNT BEEN THRASHED HOW THE HELL DO I MANAGE THAT???

CHEERS

having it rebuilt gives you peice of mind, but then you also got to take into account out who built it and with what?. obviously if its from a reputable place then should be good assuming the owner has taken care of it since it was rebuilt.

having the stock engine isnt a problem imo, as long as it was well maintained by the owner.

buying one here on the forum is usually a better place to find one since most ppl here are enthusiasts and not someone who just bought it for a thrash. theres quite a few really good buys on sale now!

good luck with it

for starters, wtf with the caps man, its only a car.

anyways, i have seen the best of both situations.

If you want to buy a rebuit one, find out who did it, what warranty they offer. quite simply would you trust your cash in a back yard mechanic with no proper tuning equipment or would you put your cash with a place that has all the equipment at their disposal. Thats not to say every pro-racing house makes 100% bullet proof engines, but you get my drift on quality.

If you want to buy a stock standard gtr, then yes, go with Hanyou above and look for someone who has taken care of the car and given it care. This is simple. Do a thorough inspection, either by a quality mechanic or yourself, for the age of the car, does it feel like it? its not that hard to spot a problem, just dont let your emotions get in your way.

each one has their pros and cons, you will just have to mitigate where you want to be.

FYI

I own a stock gtr. my friend owns a 2.7L rebuilt gtr. both our cars runs great, and we drive to work and back in them.

Good luck happy hunting
