Hi all.

After many years of drool'n over 32 gtr's and wish/wanting to buy one, the time has come.

I recently brought a house and at the same time got some extra coin on top of my house loan for my dreamer.

ive had skylines b4 while on my [p] i got a r31 with cam,headwork,zorst,extrators which made 120rwkw, and a r33 gts type s but now is my chance to buy the one ive wanted since i was a lil boy.

My question is

What to look for?

Where do i look for probelms?

what Year mod should i look for?

What year mods are the aussie delivered ones? and whats the benifit of a aussie one. (if there was any)

What are the main prob area's with them. eg rust

Ive looked on carsale and i found one last week, which had a full rebuild full forged with high flow garrets and it made 236awkw on 21psi. Now in my mind somthing is up with that 21psi 236kw.... ;)

things like this ^^^ is wat im askin, i dont wanner buy somthing that has been bodged up.

Also im looking for somthing Mint, i have a brand new D40 navara which is my dailie and this gtr will just sit in my garage ready to be drivin on weekends, put it this way the one i buy i never want to sell.

i have around 20k to spend

thanks heaps for alll replys and sorry its so long to read :)

cheers Deano

Aussie ones are very rare.... it will be hard for you to get your hands on one. IMports should be quite common.

bodged up?.... well for a performance car like that, especially an old one like R32... its not always easy to find one unmodified, untampered & unmolestered....

i was sure one of the dealer guys on here had one sitting in the window display of an R32 and something about always garaged inside or in the showroom and genuine facytory odo 20,000km.

and im sure it wasnt 20,000$

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
