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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
