Dont buy a GTR unless your prepared to fix one thing after another.

If you buy the right one, you won't need to

Buy a GTR, and join the whingers :)

Not all of us are whingers, just spend the right money on one in the first place, take your time and buy with your head and not your heart and you'll be fine. I've often walked away from "the perfect deal" because something hasn't felt right and ended up buying a more expensive car. At the end of the day a few more grand on the purchase price could possibly save you ten fold down the track

and if wanna look cool, buy a silvia.

but back to the point at hand;

you dont have to be prepared to spend $20k fixing one thing after another when you buy a gtr, or any other car for that matter.*

while some 'too good to be true bargains' are the real thing, a $13k modded gtr with 11ty billion kw's and sub 100,000ks on the clock is never going to be a good idea. use whatever intelligence you were born with and cultivated through experience since then (a stretch for some, i know, sucks to be you) to sort the good from the bad. be realistic, dont jump on the first example you come across screaming "OMG GTR!" and thinkin about all the 'bitches itll pull' (gotta buy a silvia for that) and youll be fine.

... or, for the enjoyment of everyone else, you can go out and buy your chosen shit box (in this case, a pre 94 gtr) against everyones advice and your own good sense, and everyone else can laugh at you.

*notable exceptions being track cars. their purpose dictates a shorter parts lifetime.

car looks good, but I'd save a bit more and get something a bit newer...33, 34

and Evo lacks top end grunt

Hmmm, don't know about that Andz.

Find me a track anywhere in SA (be it 1/8 mile, 1/4 mile, circuit or hillclimb) where a stock Skyline can outrun a stock EVO :D

I hope you forgot the itallics.

Stock GTR's are doughy pieces of shit, they are just a good base to start from. Oh and EVO's are a better base to start from and shit all over GTR's for bang for buck.

Stock EVO 6.5, 7, 8, 9 or 10 with boost will pull 250kw and do 1:18's on semi'saround Mallala. where as GTR's with 15K put in them still don't pull those times. and you can this stock EVO for under 20k.

I had a 92' with no issues :). My mate who had a 94' GT-R chewed a bearing. if its going to happen, it'll happen...

But that GT-R is a disaster waiting to happen.

I wanted an 89' being the first of the R32 GTR's, or I wouldnt of mind a 94' but first choice was 89' and in gunmetal grey.

I probably wouldnt of spent so much on the GTR if I didnt have a habit of impulse buying stuff that I probably really didnt need ;)

Brother in laws Evo 7RS running 25psi on pump fuel 260 awkw on steve knights dyno. Slight change though as it's running a 10.5 rear from another model evo.

EDIT!! It has a 3 inch exhaust as well but thats still a stock car in my book.

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
