Heya,

Currently in the market for a R32 GTR and just wondered if anyone knew anything about this specific car.

Here is the link: http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...0&silo=1011

Anything i should be looking for in a R32 GTR? What are signs of wear and tear or thrashing? Generally a modified one means it has been pushed.

Thanks,

L.

well not that i know thecar

but from the looks of it...its a whole lotta mods that could cost alot of money if you did them yourself..so 20,000$ may be a real reasonable price

there are buying guides on this forum which could help you

Thanks for the reply.

Have been looking through the stickies, very helpful.

Was just hoping someone knew the car personally.

Don't suppose anyone recognizes the sticker on the side?

Also, is 270kw alot for the stock gearbox and drivetrain? Obviously treating her well with increase longevity but will this sort of power break stock parts?

it depends.....

if the car is in crap condition.......sometimes modifying causes stress and will cause problems.....

either way......modifications cause premature wear and tear....

i dont think you should worry too much

since you have decided to buy a r32 gtr you should be wary that they are old.

And that you should have a budget over the purchase price incase something happens to it.

Although this may not happen to you but you do see time and time that people budget only enough for the purchase price but then something happens and it's rebuild time but they dont have any money for a rebuild and need to sell.

The R32 GT-R was a premium variant and as such they are well built and with the proper level of maintenance, providing they haven't been abused, are a great car. If they have been modded by a muppet in back yard then there is a potential for a big bill. If on the other hand the vehicle has been modded by a reputable workshop then you shouldn't have too many problems.

Caveat emptor...get it checked by a specialist

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
