There is a big difference between R32s and R33s, dont just make ur mind up on their prices. They cost about the same anyway.

I think it is a resonable price, should be able to get it for $18k. If u are going to buy a car from a dealer it definately pays to get a check done, i had 2 done on 2 different cars before deciding on my new r32 and they were worth every cent. Looking back now if i had bought either of the 2 cars i got tested i would have been ripped off.

The extra cost is worth it if u get a warrenty, but make sure u read the conditions and that its valid before u buy the car.

My car came with 1 year warrenty, but when I looked into it after i bought the car it had to be serviced at intervals less than 5000kms to keep the warrenty . It had done 6500kms since last service, when i rang the warrenty company they said tough luck.

Negotiations continue,...

I now have extented rego, and reduced stamp duty,

The Dealer has also agreed to pay my deposit back if the car is not to my satisfaction when i pick it up, which will be the 8th of November.

Hopefully the the inspection and sale goes well.

Cheers for all the help and advice guys, i have appreciated it alot.

"Mitchyr32 that was ****ing sad !!!"

(wait a minute, did i just refer to myself in the 3rd person?)

mate that's very pricey

to give you an idea i got mine in late jan (ok i know it was before sevs) through private sale here in melb:

- 93000 kms genuine

- original dark blue paint

- R32 GTSt

- auto (the main reason for cheap)

- no side skirts or stereo or spoiler

- R33 rims

- body in good nick although was keyed on one side

i paid $11,500 as they guy was heading overseas and depserate to sell and i pretended that i wanted to wait before buying (he he)

moral of the stor: that car is way overpriced and you should be looking at something much cheaper if you really want a good buy. just because it costs more doesn't mean its better...

...BUT...

the choice of an R32 was a great one and if you do get one you won't be disappointed! handles SUPERB and accelerates well.

its a bit slow off boost but once the turbo spools up it gets some real kick.

...and try to see if the one your looking at is an M-spec (has some extra features of which the 4-pot front brakes is the most imporant)

cheers,

Warren.

i paid $18,000 for mine about 2mths ago and it is stock with a nice set of wheels. I paid the extra because i would rather get a good example rather than one with afew mods that has been cained around a drift track over there.

If you do this then you also have the fun of modding it any way you want and knowing the mods have been done to a high quality (i also enjoy working on my car).

that is my opinion anyway.

if you get it i hope you enjoy, otherwise good luck in hunting down another one.

i paid about 13 200 for mine all up on road. That is a near stock manual m spec, with alarm, stereo, boost controller, turbo timer. Look around mate, go for the private sale I rekon, you can get the same for a lot cheaper, or for the same price one that has a bit done to it and in good condition.

Also, If you have that much to play with, have a look around for a 33 or a 200 sx - but y would ya, skylines are better :)

    • That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.
    • They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!
    • I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.
    • Define "starting to fail". Wy not just rebuild them?
    • Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
