Hi guys, I'am a new member here and looking forward to possibly getting an R32 GTR in the near future. I currently have an S14a. And like the thought of RB26TT and 4WD :spank:

Getting to the point I have seen the price of these cars range from $20,000 to $35,000 stock. Whats does the extra money get me?

How much do you think it would cost me to get a nice clean, relatively low km's R32 GTR. I willing to pay more if its worth doing it that way.

Hope to get a good number of replies, thanks :) .

"importing is alot cheaper"

sure is but no workshops have compliance for R32s at the moment (although I'm sure its coming now the 15 year rule is getting the chop).

QikQTR I think you've just gotta get a proper mechanical inspection of the car, they may be well engineered cars, but they're also 10-15 year old sports cars...and very few have only been driven to church on Sunday :)

Duncan, sorry didn't realise that workshops didn't have compliance for R32's.

you can import your own (if you are quick) under the 15 yr rule, but it is a road that is fought with peril (many pitfalls) I did it and have come up trumps - but that's not going to be the case for every car. (mine was one of the rare, only driven to church every Sunday types... with the old woman being such a safety focused type, she even fitted a roll cage!!!)

I would say import would be the best :

car like this are not rare but i stold very quickly, so if u want 2 import now (as the 15yr old rule is changing) i think u should buy the $1,100 serives fee for watever compoany u r using and get them 2 start looking now

I just paid $30,000 for a 1994 R32 GTR, its pretty immaculate with low klm's, its really just like any other car... You pay more for lower klm's, you pay more the better the condition, you pay more the newer it is i.e 1989 or 1994, and in some cases you pay more for a stock car, than one with mods, you can also pay more if someone is ripping you off :wave:

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
