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

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
