Im looking to buy a new car and was hoping I could get some feedback here. These are the details ive got so far...

1992 Nissan Skyline R32 (GTS-T)

169 000 kms

twin-cam turbo 6 cylinder

4 Wheel Drive

4 Wheel Steer

ABS (I think)

Gun-metal grey (Metallic)

new 16in tyres

power mirrors and windows

central locking

alarm

climate control

Kenwood 6-stack CD player

automatic

2 months or 3000 kilometres warranty, whichever occurs first

$12500 negotiable.

Im pretty sure it also has ABS. Does it sound ok and is the price reasonable? I like the look and colour but im not 100% sure about the 4wd and 4ws as most r32s ive seen dont have this..

TIA.

4WD - its not 4WD if its a GTS-T for a start.. then it would be a GTS4, so you will want to check that. I don't believe ABS was available on R32 either (except maybe the later R32 GTR).

4WS is actually HICAS, which is a semi 4WS setup. Its standard on all R32 onwards.

auto is a downer, not as much fun or control. Worth less and harder to sell as well.

I imported mine for 16k about a year ago before the threat of the 15 year rule had any effect on value like it seems to now.

Mines a manual 93 with full GTR body kit, including the ally bonnet, 92,000km. It has no ABS... which i love... coz quite frankly, i hate ABS. In pretty good nick once I tidied it up after coming off the boat.

Heres a pic:

I wouldnt buy an auto personally, but thats just down to preference. I'd say its a pretty nice vehicle, certainly looks like its been looked after from the photos. Be prepared for the value to drop when 15 year vehicles start to become more common as these are obtained pretty cheaply now (well under 10k for the dodgy lookin ones). But none of us buy cars as investments, theyre for driving! So we expect values to drop anyway :)

Also make sure you check out the price on insurance before buying. Factor it in to your costs.

Does this make it easier?.... all the other stuff was just there to fill space and sell the car...

So basically you're looking at a standard GTS-4 (if it's 4WD), new tyres (standard), and alarm (price an alarm system that you'd like), a stacker system (bout $400 easy) and a 2 month warranty

The warranty isn't gonna do anything unless something goes wrong in the first 2 mnths/3000 kms (not a lot of time)....

Go and look around at yard, on the net and see how much the cars selling for, price the accesorries (stacker + alarm)... see what else is out there (you'll find almost every other one out there has half those k's) and see what you think... spend about an hour surfing the net and then see if you want it.

It's all personal preference, i'm not trying to shoot you down or anything, just trying to make it a lil easier to make a decision....

i bought mine for 12g's..

1993

RB20DET

136,000kms

4WD

4WS

auto

alarm + keyless entry

climate control

polished rims

mine came with ABS.

totally stock in everyway

a lady used to drive it to the train station

and her husband has a R32 GTR in the garage aswell..

but now i'm the process of converting it to a manual. $1200 for the lot.

My 1989 GTS4 has ABS (so, it's at least an option, may not be standard).

$12,500 sounds a pretty good price, but the auto is a waste of time (sports cars don't have autos, IMHO)

Yeah and my 93 GTS-T has ABS i was under the impression they all did???

All GTS4's and GTR's have ABS. Without individual wheel speeds from the abs sensors the Attessa ain't gonna work too well if it don't know when the back wheels are turning faster than the fronts... (yes it will still work due to gforce sensors and tps/speed info etc, but not as good). ABS was optional on GTSt and seen it a few times on GTS (Type-S)'s as well.

Btw, if you do buy a R32 GTS4, check the sycro's in 4th, I've before they were a weak point and when my mate looked at buying one, everyone without fail had stuffed 4th gear syncro.... I dunno why....

Does anyone know more about this 4th gear problem in gts4's?  Mine crunches on fast shifts from 3rd but not back from 5th to 4th

I think they have double syncro's on 2nd, 3rd but only single syncro on 1st, 4th and 5th. That's the way it feels when you drive one.

Edit: gearbox oil change will probably fix this!

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
