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 People freaked out "No way, you could've had your house deposit down instead" and "I would never waste my money on outdated cars for that price".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!

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
