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.

As you can see, no 32s or 34s yet :) If you want something right now, yopu'll have to pick something already int he country.

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:

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
