All,

After thinking long and hard over what new car to get, I have decided to stay with a GTR, Im keen to do some more serious track times so I am looking at an R32's GTR, which I can take one step further then my R34.

I have found a real (Checked with Nisan) R32 GTR Vspec 93 model 77,000 Km, mods are listed below.

HKS 2540 turbos

HKS 264 cams

HKS Turbo Manifold

HKS Dump pipes

HKS Header pipes

HKS Inlet pipes

HKS Pods

HKS Intercooler

HKS Hyper Damper Suspension

HKS Remote oil filter and cooler

Adj Cam sprockets

OS Twin Plate Clutch

Metal Head and other gaskit's

Apexi PFC and hand controller

Upgraded fuel pump

800CC Injectors

90mm exhaust

Cuscal Remote catch can

Cuscal radiator deflector

17in Advan wheels

Caster Adj front

Boost gauge

Turbo timer

The Vspec STD Brembo Barkes, Vspec diff and Brake vents

UAS Dyno showed 280KW at 15PSI (With 2.5'' crap Cat) and Comp check was approx 140PSI on all 6, under carriage is a straight as they come and the interior is in good condition.

I plan to do some additional mods.

Water Menthol injection, Fat belly Cat, RB25 Airflows and pods, Sump Baffle, DBA rotors and Frodo 2500’s, Upgrade the radiator, Camber kit and alloy bushes, Retune.

Buy price is $25K with 12 months rego.

What do people think about the car and the price?

Im thinking of placing a deposit today, so appreciate the feedback.

Thanks

That is the intent! Im moving work location and will be doing far less street Km's so I can allow this car to be a lot more aggresive then I have with my previous GTR's.

I guess my question is around market price for a car like this. The ass has dropped out of the market a little, and I wonder if I am paying too much for this car?

Hey car sounds good, price sound close to being right possibly a little high.

I know godzl1975 is selling his car on the quiet and i was very tempted to buy it but i didnt have the bank to support it in the long run.

His car is unbelievable! You should check it out.

so who put the metal head gasket in? was it done in aus? were any other internals done?

with those mods and shitty looking wheels like that tells you the car wasnt sitting in a show room.

my money is on it craps itself before the 100k service..

my opinion is to buy a gtr with great body and screwed engine for about the $15k mark and use the 10k to rebuild your own engine..

that way you know what you've done to is and work has warranty (to some degree). also the car feels more like your own becaause you have decided what you want from it.

only dis advantace is that you wont have the car for a while while an engine is built.

thats the way my brain works ;)

The car looks to have had the work done in Japan a fair while ago, except for plugs its as it left Japan.

I started with that mind set, accept The parts and Labour bill hit almost $20k (Internals/turbo's/clutch/ and acc's), and I have had trouble finding cheap late 32's without damaged or rusted rails. I have only been looking for 3 weeks both here and in Jap auctions.

Point taken but I have run out of time. I loose the 34 in a couple of weeks and need wheels.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
