I just personally prefer the 32 - it was the car that dominated Bathurst, and I prefer

the way they look... even if a little dated.

I'll avoid this V spec though.

You can get R33 GTR's for 20k in good nick.

Why would you waste time paying more for a R32?

Top Secret Imports are trying to get a couple of good quality R32 GT-Rs in for the 21st Anniversary.

Perhaps you can call them and see what's in the offing. 9676 1023.

They've been looking; but there are none worthy on the auction system atm.

I'd still call them though to see if you can be short-listed to reserve one.

Otherwise keep checking with Northshore Prestige and Nagoya Motors too.

I just took the V spec for a drive out or curiosity.

It's certainly not pristine, its taken a whack under the drivers side sill, and there's respray in that area, so its been like that for a while.

There was also water in the boot around the spare wheel well.

It seems to drive quite well, but the clutch action is right up top, so it's on it's way out, and smelled quite a bit.

I'd say it's a $15k car riding on it's V Spec badge to fetch a higher than deserved price.

This was just a quick assessment, I dare say a qualified inspector would have a field day.

The guys working there seemed genuine enough and not pushy, the condition of the car just spoke for itself.

Every standard color was available in V-spec II, the pop rivets holding the build plate on look mighty strange too...

that is exactly how they normally look. they are a type of tamper proof rivet.

Not that I would ever have doubted the Baron, but turns out mine has those too!!! Statement withdrawn, they look perfectly normal

Ha, ok mate, good to know, because I often like to take on GT-Rs in my shitty Honda Civic :worship:

Good that you drove it...

My old R32 resides in NSW somewhere now. So, if you see a GMG R32 GTR that looks stock as a rock with WA plates, don't race cause you'll lose lol.

No mate, not off them, I think they're awesome, the R32 GT-R is a modern classic, but I've learned finding one is

going to take longer than a week and I really didn't know what to look for when I began. I'm in no rush, so I'll keep

an eye on this forum and on the used car websites.

I haven't ruled out an R34 either but I'd need to save for a good while longer... A gooood while longer.

The one I drove today is the first one I've driven, it was completely stock, and without doubt the fastest car

I've personally ever driven, so I cant imagine what a modded one would feel like!

lol

heard of a Dr Ron Laura? Hes got mostly BMWs and Euros and tracks them with his son in NSW.

Staying on topic, are you definitely off all GTRs now? :D

Go test drive a well modded one.. lol

If you drive i modded one, I don't think you will go back to a stock car because it will feel like driving a 4 cylinder Camry. :)

This is so true. I go in a stock one thesedays and I really have to check the throttle is nailed

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
