Ive been looking for a Mint WHITE r32 gtr now for about 3-4months. I want somthing with abit of work done to it, around 300rwkw.

Why is it that almost all of them are Gun Grey?? Almost all on here are gun grey and carsales has pritty much no white ones within 250k's of my house. I think its crazy did they have like a white paint shortage or was Gun Grey just the in colour error??

thanks

ps this mite b a stupid question to some people. buts its just a question im just curious

i think they only brought them out in white the latest year of the r32 so they sound pretty rare i could be wrong tho.

Cause Gun Metal Grey is the best colour and Black. LOL!

White is nice too.

I am sure there are a lot more White R32 GTR's out there and SAU member MatanZ recently just bought a White R32 GTR in Victoria.

Gun Metal Grey is probably more popular...

^^^Absolute crap. You can get early r32's in white....1990 nismo r32's came out in white

The genuine Nismo R32 GTR's only came out in Gun Metal Grey and the genuine R32 GTR N1's are the one which came from factory in Crystal White.

And yes there would have been other R32 GTR's coming in White as well.

White is definately one of the more rare colours for an R32 GTR.. but it was always my favourite.

And here is a page from the original brochure showing the colours available (not many to choose from):

The reason gun metal grey is probably the most common is the fact it was the 'hero' colour:

mine is white.. bloke above me seems to have white, I'm sure they're not that uncommon.

I thought white was popular in Japan as it used to be their racing colour..

Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White && http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_inter...o_racing_colors - White was originally the national auto racing color of Japan until international racing colors were abandoned due to sponsorship.

Haha, N1's are seriously rare! Hard to say what one 'goes for' considering they rarely come up for sale. Also, there are people that mock up stockers to look like N1's and sell them as a fake to decieve buyers.

A mint N1 would not be cheap. If you could get one for $25k then you should be very happy with yourself!

oh, just realised, this is my - 1,000th post! :D

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.

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

      By MBS206 · Posted

      For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!

      Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
