First off I tried searching, checked the first few pages and found nothing, but I wasn't goin to look through 49 pages worth.

Anyway my question is basically what years did Nissan manufacture the R32 in a 4 door version?

I've noticed mainly 1989 models, which turns me off a little bit as thats now a 20 year old car. Searching carsales I noticed one 1990 model and one 1991 model, since these were the first I've seen, I wasn't sure f it was a typo or not.

So basically just after a little bit of history here, I'm sure there's some Skyline history people out there who know exactly what I want to know.

Thanks, Tom.

PS I am just asking as 4 door R32's have always been one of my favourites, and I am considering selling my 180SX to find a good one (with hopefully some cash for rims/coilovers, stock 180SX sucks haha).

The r32 my engine was out of was a 92 or a 93 rb25de :P

Uh, ok, but I'm asking about production.

89-94 as far as im aware

Really? I thought the 2 door was manufactured 89-93 and the GTR went the extra year from 89 to 94. I've mainly noticed 89 4 door models and as I said the one 90 and one 91 models.

the 89 four door i had was quite a straight clean car, all comes down to how well the previous owner

looked after it, i had sum anal asian guy own mine before me, no rust no dents nothing wrong what so ever

Some applications on the net like carsales and ammi don't recognise the 1989 skyline as an r32, only an r31. This is because the r32 started production in 1989 while they were still running the r31.

So I guess they just decided to change the r32's starting year to 1990 so it wouldnt be confusing...

As for being 20 years old..ask any skyline owner what kind of shape their car was in from import and I'm pretty sure everyone will say great. Japan has a turn over of their cars every 5 years to keep their economy booming, they raise the tax or something on old cars so its cheaper to buy a new car than keep the old one. Japan doesn't wnt them so thats why they get imported here. I've had my 1989 gts-t 4door for a month, I'm the second australian owner and I got it with 104,000km.

It's very rare to find a skyline thats got alot of k's on it. Finding a late 90's model holden with that low k's is pretty hard. It's only when you're looking at a skyline thats been owned by an aussie that you need to watch out for - in the sense of driving conditions here compared to japan.

Good luck car searching. r32's are the hottest looking skyline :D

Just found this forum aswell...

OH YOUNG GRASSHOPPER. YOU HAVE MUCH TO LEARN!!!!

Do you honestly think a 20 year old car has only done 70-120,000kms... Oh you make me laugh..

Let me spell it out for you. Rolling back odometers... I have been involved in the used car industry both local cars and imports.. All I can say is, if you live by your words quoted and you buy a car based off kms... Then god so help you sunshine.

For disclaimers sake. I no longer work in such a shady industry! So please no flaming!

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
