Congrats Chris, You've made the right choice mate, I can't see why having 600 cc more of the engine capacity and 1 more turbo and 2 more wheel that can put down the power to the ground could be worse than buying GTST (apart from fuel bills, no offence to any GTST driver :P ) plus you've got a factory front mount cooler rather than a sidemount interwarmer.

Hope to see the pics soon!

hey all my name is Chris and i recently brought an r32 GTR with 97000kms on it, no paint chips no rust id say mint. ever since i got it all i here from everyone is that i made a huge mistake i get told left and right that a gtst would have been better. are the rumours really true are they unbelievably expensive to modify/fix. have i made a mistake??.

should probably mention that im only an apprentice electrician

all comments appreciated

Cheers, Chris

LOL!

Whoever is telling you it was a mistake, they should harden the fuck up and grow some balls.

All cars cost you money, some just cost more.

You like it, you pay for it.

As stated, people are jealous. You should've seen the shit I got when I bought my gtr. People freaked out "No way, you could've had your house deposit down instead" and "I would never waste my money on outdated cars for that price". I just ignore it and think jealous f*kers.

And a not-to-be-neglected item is that by 2012, your car will have depreciated less than most others (that are the same price as yours to-day.

So keep a record of what cars are going for to-day; and tell me if I'm wrong in 2 years' time!!! :bunny:

I am not quite following you on what you are on about...

:)

Car depreciation...?

You only worry about that if you want to sell it.

Looks the goods mate.

I bought myself a '89 GT-R almost a year ago now.

Its my daily driver, and never had any serious issues.

I've had to buy a few bits and pieces, but more for piece of mind. (Did have a stuffed coil that caused a slight misfire, but replaced with splitfires, which I was planning anyway.)

Im in love with it, just know it will drain my wallet eventually as I chase more power....

Forget what others say, they are just jealous!!

Enjoy your car, care for it, and it will reward you with a grin from ear to ear day in day out. :(

I bought a modified and unmaintained (air filters, in particular which killed the HKS2530s within weeks of having it) 1989 R32 GTR so it needed work. Once it was all done it hasn't missed a beat.

Nice to see you have a 1989 one too. :(

Yeah, look for ages for a later one, 1993/94. But my one was completely stock. Just what I wanted, so I know that the mods done, are done properly.

However wont be going overboard with it. Want to keep it as stock looking as I can...

What Tex is saying is that the modern cars (now $20k) will be worth a lot less ie, $12-13k in 2 years. R32 GTR's are going to be worth pretty much the same they are now.

Ah ok...

All the better for buying a GTR and so when ppl say "Oh, should not have bought that car, it cost so much"...

Well it didn't cost that much at all :(

  • 3 weeks later...

Haha looks exactly like mine did last October - Dead stock GTR.

Everyone tries to pay me out about "you sure you want to drive it, I mean you wouldn't want to spin a bearing' etc. But who cares what other people think, your money you spend it how you want.

Just remember to ditch the ceramics asap!

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
