Yea im still leaning toward an R32 GTR... just have a look at the ones on www.justenginemanagement.com the look gorgeous just lowered on 19's and besides its an RB26DETT :D

Why would a GTR be more expensive to maintain over a GTST? i cant see the reasoning...

RB26DETT... 4WD....GRIP, DRIVE, ENJOY.

The Godzilla is a legend that lives in the here and now... Designed to perform, and IT DOES.

There is no substitute.

Can be expensive, but then again so can the other offerings, buy a good one, and it'll reward you many-fold.

IF YOU CAN, get an early one with the real pedigree, it was designed to be devastatingly good, and it lives up to it.

Starting from 23-24K upwards, but you get what you pay for, or be a good DIY man. Personally, there is no greater satisfaction than knowing you own part of a legend, and still beats "modern" styling, no gimmiky bits, no cheap look alike parts or anything.

BNR32, un-rivalled, never equalled..!!

Thank you for your tasteful wording Richard. I too agree that the GTR will be the ultimate street weapon, if only i could afford an R34 GTR. Until then, the R32 will be an exceptional project.

Cheers

Just to let you guys know, this is going to be a weekend toy ONLY... I'm keeping my Pulsar for daily driving.

My aim is for Power (approx 300rw/kw) + Reliability + +Style + Value for money

Cheers

The GTR is an awfull lot of fun to own. At 300rwkw the 4wd makes it standout.

Drive a good one and you will find yourself saying " this is what I want.."

However all performance cars need $$$ to keep them going. The 'value for money' part is left behind once 300rwkw entered the mix.

I owned an R32 GTR as a work vehicle and found it practical enough with the right amount of money budgeted for it's up keep.

You need to chat to long term GTR owners and get a feel for the yearly budget required. PM me and I will give you my figures.

Good luck with the search but, remember if you don't like it you can always sell it and start again. This is what we all do. :P

Thanks guys,

Well today i took a FOB (fresh of the boat) '94 R32 GTR VSpec II for a wrap and she was a smooth a silk! The older poorer quality interior made me hesitate a little but once i got stuck into it i was IN LOVE!

It felt much tighter and lighter than my R33 GTSt and the RB26DETT sounds so sweet!

I also managed to score a test drive in an S15 Jap Spec... the interior and looks were to die for... but after driven the GTR the S15 seemed like an N/A lol

So far the R32 GTR is the one...

Cheers

a 23k gtr, not sure if ull get a great one...otherwise id say go for that if its weekend driver.

id get an s15.

Edit: " R32 Gtr Vs S15 Jap Spec Vs R34 Gtt, Which one is best?" : R32 GTR

ive been searching carsales - carpoint etc and found a handfull of very very good condition R32 GTR's with rebuilt engines N1 turbos etc etc for under 20g (usualy 19ish grand). i would expect to pay around 23ish maybe for a V-spec. the used car market is stuffed, i say look around and get urself the GTR !!

:rolleyes:

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      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.

      Could it really happen......

      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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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.
