Hi All,

I will be coming home to Aus in about 2 months and have 25-30k to play with.

I want to get your advice to see if the following is achievable for my budget.

1) find a clean 32GTR with a good engine

2) Possible respray over stock color - freshen the look up

3) new rims, 19inch deep dishers

5) possible leather interior retrim

Can it be done?

Cheers!!!! :O

I think you will be looking at close to 35k for that, depending on what kind of respray and parts you want...

Surely the interests of good taste would dictate that it not be done? :O

ha ha!

I want it to be a classy streeter, usual gfb, bov, front mount, k&N etc.. all that stuff can come later + most gtrs allready have that stuff on them by now anyway..

The respray will just be going over the stock colour, just to fresh'n it up, and the leather will be good quality, not crazy hide, but nice stuff.

the rims, i guess will cost about 3k with rubber.. i think it can be done.. ??

Any tips on how to find a good engined 32gtr? I want it to be reliable, so not overworked, how often to these engine need a rebuild?

any gtr special engine check places etc??? just dont want to buy a bomb and have to spend 5k on a full rebuild!

      This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
