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$

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo
