Hey All,

Im new to the forums and i just wanted introduce myself

and to ask a question about the Skyline i am buying in about two weeks.

Okay here are the specs:

JULY 1993 R32 SKYLINE GTS-TURBO,METALLIC BLACK

68950 KMS,5 SPEED, POWER WINDOWS ,POWER STEERING,ELECTRIC MIRRORS

CLIMATE CONTROL AIR CONDITIONING,CD AND CASSETTE ,LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL,

HICAS 4 WHEEL STEERING,16" ENKEI ALLOY WHEELS,TURBO TIMER,HKS STRUT BARS (FRONT

AND REAR ) SPORTS EXHAUST SYSTEM. 2 YEARS WARRANTY, 6 MONTHS REGO.

$19000

Do you guys think this R32 would be a good buy ? the main thing that appeals to me is that its pretty much stock which is what i want (which may seem odd to some or ... all) and also the dealer warranty.

Thanks very much.

Looks ok from the pics (but that doesn't indicate much).

I think the price is abit high, and dealers from what ive seen usually buy the cheapest skylines (eg ****ed) then sell. The clock...I dunno, it very well could be true, but personally i wouldt beleive it.

On the other hand, I have my R32 for sale, and getting it sprayed hopefully this weekend. Mine has *alot* more to it, and abit cheaper if you're in syd and want further info PM me :)

well these days you can get R33 with that price.

I think you should get a good R32 for a lot less if you shop around. But again, if it's an originally stock R32 (not something that has been modified then put back to stock by dealer) then good chance that the engine will still be in top condition. It'll be a good base to mod it up slowly by yourself, or keep it stock and maintain its originality for car collection purpose.

I see where you are coming from Brody, I am having an NRMA inspection on it next week so thier sure to pick up something on it if it did turn out to be dodgy... but if their report comes out good i should be cheering shouldnt i ? :)

rs73 i was looking at R33's for a while, but i just feel that they are too big for me at the moment so i thought id start of with smallest of the Skyline Family and work my way up as years go buy... ;)

I have my doubts over nrma also, when had mine done they missed a few things, but really yeh its good to have it done regardles for peace of mind.

If its mostly all stock, you could easily get it down to say 15...Honestly please consider mine (im getting des. i need $!), it'l even have fresh paint!

If the inspection checks out ok then it seems like a good deal, especially if you can haggle them down a bit further. Considering its a late '93 and the 2 year warranty and the (if it is actually correct) relatively low clock pretty nice find i'd say.

i think its expensive, there are plenty for sale on these forums in just as good if not better condition for $4000 less

if you really want this one, get them to give you 12months rego, and haggle the price down another grand!

- the 2 year warranty, isnt always that great after you read the fine print......mine had excess and max of $1000 for any one thing

all you need is the 3month compulsory dealer warranty in my opinion

Nissky looks to have a great r32, so despite also selling mine, take a look into his or mine. As another mentioned, most warrantys form dealers arn't what theyre made out to be. Im yet to find a decent/honest dealer yet.

No point blowing another 2/3k when you don't need to.

Hey Mitchy

Looks tidy.

Standard dealer warranty was my friend, as on the way home the odometer started working intermittently. Took it back with 68000kms showing and got them to fix it. I also got them to do timing belt and other stuff as I said you could not trust that figure.

You will pay more from a dealer, no doubt. Sounds like the haggling is over with.

Enjoy your R32

go the R32. I love the shape, what discouraged me when looking for an R33, Too many around. I pass 4-5 in traffic every day. maybe see that many R32's in a month if I'm lucky.

have had a few things to fix, but like any car. I am enjoying mine at the moment. but look forward to the day when I can park a GTR in my driveway...

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      lol, yeah, and how gutted I am now I’m back over in Europe (actual Europe) and dealing with the nightmare of U.K.-Continental Europe bureaucracy.   Anyway, arrived in NL early January with the BMW, whilst the Skyline followed suit about a week later. Both cars ended up stuck with their relative importers for about six weeks. Since then, I made a trip to the Nurburgring with a friend and have since ditched the Skyline in the garage. This week, I finally managed to find a suitable shop to do an alignment so hopped on over to Germany to fix the miserable mess the local Netherlands shop conducted; the car was just not aggressive enough in the rear for my driving style - I found myself understeering a fair bit at the ring which was really a first for me with this car. Mis-matched F&R tyres can be held partly responsible - have now moved to F+R NS2Rs. One thing I’ve noticed is the 180kph limiter just does not cut it here. I quickly hit that (for the first time) in Germany on the autobahn. Japanese circuits are small - at least the ones that were near me. I rarely spent much time in 4th. After much deliberation with the HKS SLD, I have ordered Nistune from Matt. Whilst the Skyline has been gathering dust I got to learning the highly neglected BMW I bought in the U.K. was in fact just that, highly neglected. Took the ol’ dog down to Switzerland last weekend with a progressively deteriorating front end. It went from vibration during braking at highway speed on the way down, to vibrating non-stop on the way back. I’ve already fixed numerous engine issues - low oil pressure, f**ked injectors, incorrect coils and plugs, electric water pump. Still to do is a suspension and brake overhaul, rear subframe replacement and likely more ageing engine electrical components. But I must say, I love it. After so long with the Skyline, I really didn’t know cars could be so comfortable.

      Thanks. I adjusted my soft cut to 7600rpm and if I see I'm still making power there, I'll consider readjusting to possibly 7800rpm while on the dyno.

      R34 GTT Wiring Harness Similarities

      Yeah not sure. I sourced another relay no problem, its definitely a relay according to Nissan parts, they used those specific relays on a bunch if cars around that time, but my two options are, find a behind dash wiring loom which is proving difficult, or get the current loom fixed up by the shop when they put my rebuilt engine back in, they are confident in their auto electrical abilities. Thing is my current loom has anti-theft stuff and GPS immobilisers wired into it so easiest option may be to just fix the current one to save ripping apart the immobiliser.

      Asking where to source parts

      By winc · Posted

      Took it apart to get to the bearing found out i was wrong the bearing was pressed on to the diff side and the part i removed only had the bearing side, checked the bearing all looked fine took the shaft end to a shop and they recon it was movement from back and forth that made the marks and not rumbling about, so i just changed the seal and put it all back again.

      Oh dear. That's um. There's like. Um. a lot of bare wires there. Take the whole thing out. Something is very very shorted somewhere. IT IS NOT CAUSED BY THAT "RELAY" (assuming it is a relay).
