I want to buy an R32 GTST, I love the shape of the car. Most R33 dont appeal to me. I want to keep the R32 GTST basically stock. Maybe do the exhaust and air filter. Perhaps in the future upgrade the intercooler and turbo.

I read alot of issues with GTR but i cant seem to find threads about the GTST.

biggest issue is they're getting very old...and with any car of that sort of age there's gonna be problems. if ur going to buy one get a thorough check done by a mechanic (compression check etc)

Thanks Black Window. Yeah I was going to get it check out by a PRO. I need an Itch for speed and the current car doesnt have any bang to it.

Silvia owner? I was thinking of Silvia, friend has an S13, I wouldnt mind that or an S14 even if the insurance is riDICKulous

to be honest with you, i wish i didn't sell my r32 for my s13...cos everytime i drive the sil...it makes me miss the skyline cos it just used to handle so well (it had tein shocks), but yeah i just don't like the sil..could be the fact that it's got cheap parts on it from when i bought it (i was stupid and didn't get a check done) and its cost me money from day 1

i'm actually looking to get another R32.

Some other things to look out for:

- the chassis' are normally fairly soft..so check that the chassis is straight

- any leaks

- rust

Thats all i can think of

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      A HICAS fault really should not cause the engine to go into limp mode. These cars are so old that the systems barely talk to one another. The thump might be the lockoff solenoid valve for the HICAS (the safety valve) getting closed, to lock the rear wheels "straight". I say "straight", because when my HICAS used to shit itself before I took off and nuked it from orbit, it would lock up with the rear wheels wildy non-straight and you'd need 45° of steering wheel to drive straight. Take off and nuke it from orbit. First step is to pull the smaller of the two plugs out of the HICAS CU. See if it stops misbehaving. You can also (whilst leaving it plugged in) try to get the HICAS CU into diagnostic mode by doing the pedal dance, or by connecting a CONSULT capable diagnostic reader into the car and seeing what it has to say for itself. Can't do either of these with it unplugged though. 1st gen HICAS is a ballache. I would do a complete delete. I did do a complete delete.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Ah. I dunno why, but I skim read your earlier post and thought the manual switch was to force it on, not force it off. I'd be tempted to have both. So, your two in series, and another in parallel with those. Or, a master arm switch, followed by the manual force on and the thermo in parallel. 6 and 2 3s.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Yeah been doing it in an x shape. Do you reckon it's worth putting guide coat early where the filler isn't sanded down completely smooth? Reason I ask is because as I'm sanding it one part might be level which I don't need to sand anymore but the other part might be high so I can just focus on that instead of sanding across the whole repair area. I wonder if the putty is too thin, though the area is almost completely smooth before I do it as I've already put filler prior.

      Just 2, and inline. One switch temp related other switch driver controlled.   I'm nearly in my head back to Arduino land for it...
