looking at buying a completely stock standard r32 gtr, stock right down to the airbox!

seems that due to the tired nature of these cars they often require an engine rebuild

but i think that maybe because the car is completely stock, and has a non worn chipped looking intake plenum, that it may be ok

could this be an okay assumption??

has anyone done a rebuild with all genuine nissan parts only

my plan is to keep the car in immaculate condition and stock as it will stay with me as a timeless collectors item,

possibly collect all the gtr family over time :P

You will hate going from that neat as S15 of yours to a 18+ y/o GTR, much rougher, older, ect. Trust me on this, I had the exact same idea , cept I wanted to mod the shit outta shit! Even if you find a super stock clean one (which will be hard and VERY expenisve) there is always stuff that just does not last 18+ years and will break.

I would be looking at 33GTR's as they are a total bargain at the moment.

I almost purchased this one, but then decided to go back to uni. Uni + GTR = no money for food!

Works ok for me. It was a spotless midnight purple 33GTR with 18" gold VOLK GT-C's, hot as.

If you want to clear debt then DO NOT GET A GTR! Your story sounds alot like mine mate! I sold S15 (mine was more about no lisence for a year but also some debt) looked at countless 32GTR's, decided they are a total money pit that would cost more than, and be less pleasent to drive daily than the s15, settled on a nice 33 gts-t which I'm very happy with.

You won't clear any debt with a GTR only create it.

I was thinking the same thing.

Glad someone posted it :P

And further to that, never 'assume' anything.

Ive seen SOOOOO many cars that come over looking 'stock as a rock', yet you get into it and the car took a flogging in japan and treater poorly

Based on my 'real experience' I doubt he will hate going from an S15 to the R32 GTR if he's interested in how it drives. There are peice of crap examples of both cars to be found just as there are excellent ones.

I have owned a few cars in my time and I'm on the second R32 GTR, I am ruined for life they are just a fantastic experience.

Ownership does require some financial maturity, so you made a good call not getting one if you were a student at the time and it was going to be a daily driver.

As stock as it appears i would budget for a rebuild in the near future. If i could do it all again i would get one dirt cheap with a blown engine but a great body and interior.

As for S15 or later model cars compared to the 32GTR, the 32 has rattles and creaks but it makes up for it where it counts :P

And yes be prepared for some financial maturity lol.

orion if you can actually keep it stock you are on to a winner.

that many GTRs get boosted, thrashed and bastardised that a good standard one will be a real rarity in years to come.

don't forget that most of the GTRs are 15 years old and making twice factory power when they blow their motor up. A relitively standard gtr should last fine with good maintenance.

I think he is budgeting for a rebuild at some stage, which he could still probably do with the money from the s15 with the price of 32 gtr's these days. Whether or not there will be much oney left over to pay off debts is another thing... but atleast will have the peace of mind of having a stock gtr with a freshly built motor. But yeh i think using it as a daily will seem quite different to the 2002 model s15...

im looking at a R32 gtr as well come july next year...

are they really as bad money pits as people say?

whats the problems that are normally associated with them?

i do plan on a pretty decent rebuild/resto in teh next couple of years, still worth it?

performance cars are money pits...

many times quoted; cheap / fast / reliable ---------- pick two.

If you are budget minded avoid a GTR or any car of similar performance.

yeah, well I've kind of ended up with a pretty stock gtr because of the rules of the class it races in. A lot of people on SAU get carried away with how much power they can make etc etc 400kwatw etc etc.

Once you've replaced a lot of the regular wear and tear pieces lile bushes, shocks, springs, timing belts, coil packs etc etc they drive well. I've spent a fair bit on standard parts including from nissan but it handles really well now.

these cars run great standard and I've got no reason to believe a properly maintainted one wouldn't run for ages.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
