If it's untouched with over 100,000k's will probably mean you'll have to spend some money on it sooner or later, so a recent rebuilt one would be OK with rebuilt turbos as well (they don't last forever).

As for K's who knows? It's hard enough to know if the k's on the clock are real or not anyway, most imported R32 GTR's here have had a cluster change. If you can find a GTR with books and original cluster would be the best but good luck with imports as the books are hardly ever there.

Hey guys...because i am going to purchase a R32 GTR soon...but not too sure...would it be better to get a rebuilt engine GTR or ones that has been untouched?

Also how many Ks...would be consider average for a 93-94 R32 GTR

thanks!

It's wise to be patient and get the right one. Even if it took you a year to find it, you'll never regret it Taizi.

One thing you can do is ask the owner for past paper work and diguise the fact that you're after pink slips as well. Funny, I keep all mine over the years and one thing you look for is the current mileage on the pink slip. If from one year to the next, the mileage has dropped, you have to suspect either tampering or a new gauge cluster has been installed. Any detailer or panelbeater will also tell you that bolster/carpet/steering wheel wear is a giveaway marker.

And lastly, take the car before the deposit, to a Skyline specialist workshop for a detailed look and be prepared to pay for this check. Well worth the trouble.

Regards,

Terry

Go the rebuilt one, make sure it's been done properly though this means confirmation of parts and work.

Need less to say you'll hear it from everyone, the amount of money you will save buying one with all the work done to it is ludacris... There is an abundance of them for sale atm and the demand is low, owners having to negotiate to shift there cars.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
