Get the r32... just wait and find a decent one. I paid 20k for mine. And its MINT. perfect paint, Perfect inside and out 312awkw. and its a Nismo Edition. I waited 6months to find it but.

Im glad I bit the bullet and went with a 32GTR....34 GTT did come into my mind for a split second but I knew I would regret it hard....they look boring in stock form i reckon.

I wouldn't waste my time with carsales again for a JDM 32 GTR, I searched for over a year on carsales etc and only 1 clean one came up with in that time that I wanted but sold in 1 week.

I then had an import dealer find me the cleanest one possible which still took months but was worth it.

f**k dudes....way to try and change a brother's mind!

Please...NO MORE "Go the GTR" posts...I can't handle it! lol

If I DO find a nice clean one...I'll go for it....I don't like my chances though :laugh:

f**k it...

if ANYONE HERE has a clean GTR, thats HONESTLY clean and trouble free...CONTACT ME ASAP, Im looking to buy within a week

I'm DEAD SERIOUS

gotta be in Melbourne though, as much as I love travel, just don't have the time right now.

mate of mine has a 93 Vspec that is decent nick (he's an inporter.) had the books with it and drove well (I had it for 3 weeks doing minor electrical work on it.) can put you in touch with him if you like.

If you dont go the GTR route you'll just regret it and keep wishing you had gone for the GTR. :nyaanyaa:

As I can't be bothered reading through all this crap...is the car still available?

I have 2 STi's, but a Skyline might be nice too to drive to the milkbar and back

Above was from Mike, on a GTR sale thread.

Not exactly sure how much of a brother you really are Mike. :)

I personally would go the r34 (as well that is what i have done in reality) but the main things that put me towards the r34 is i don't want an ancient old car (even though mine is still 9 years old) plus i can't stand the old interiors. R32 interiors were as bad as the s13's and man that was crap

There was one point in time where I had to choose between an R34 GT-T and an R32GTR.

Drove the R34 around for a bit but it just doesn't compare to the R32. Sure the R34 is newer, but if you buy a clean and well maintained R32, you'll have years of driving fun !

i bought an r34gtt primarily because i cant stand the ancient r32gtr interior, and was also concerned about their age. driving the 34 and a mates 32gtr is a completely different experience, however i cant wait to get back into the 34 after being in his car, and there isnt really that much real-world differenece in performance between the two, besides the 32 having more modding potential, but if like you say, you plan to have it as a daily, the 34 is better in almost every way.

if i was you, id use your stock sti as a daily, the 34 gtt feels archaic in comparison to my 05 wrx, uses more fuel, and is probably slower though i cant confirm this as i havent had the chance to track it yet. but you do get a special feeling in the skyline.

also, after driving awd, be carefull in a gtt, they loose traction at a whiff of throttle in the wet, and are way to easy to slip in the dry too.

have fun.

If your not going to buy R34 GTT instead of a GTR R32 simply dont bother buying a skyline at all

The reason I got rid of my R32gtr was that it looks like an 80s car, times have changed and whilst it was an awesome car to own I felt I need to move on to something more modern as the daily drive.

Got a 350gt for daily drive and an R33 for project/track use which I feel is a good comprimise, I test drove a couple of R34s and they are a lovely car...

I guess utimetely if you are buying as a daily drive you'll want something with is comfortable, a better return on the mpg..etc

S

and there isnt really that much real-world differenece in performance between the two

LOL!!! That's some funny shit right there! Define "real-world" for us???

Go the 32R dude, the interior is fine and the seats are way more supportive (although they are a bitch on a long 4hr+ drive), LOTS more parts available for an R than a 34 GTT too

The BEST buy in the Skyline market at the moment are R33 GTRs, Check http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...ec-t309417.html for the difference between a $22,000 R32 and a $25,000 R33... The add a Power FC, Cams, Cam gears, intercooler, Bilsteins and a 3 years newer car the R33 side of things.. They are a steal, I know you did not need another GTR post, but I have the 32 in those pics, and the ONLY reasons I went a 32 was because I wanted an R32 V-specII specifically, and because I have daily drive. Day to day, R33 GTR or a later GTT hands down

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
