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

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
