Hi guys,

I'm looking to purchase a R32 - specifically this one: http://www.carsales....Location_String

Does anyone know anything about it/the owner? & Would anyone be willing to come check it out with me...because i'm a total noob when it come's to skylines. I've grown up restoring & racing old Fiats (Insert joke about old Fiat's here) So not really savvy to common problems etc..

Being a P plater (Green's- till november) I thought this one would be perfect, as I can put the old engine back in..

Thanks!!

LS

Green P plates = no mods ?, a 25 in it may be a legal/RTA problem mate.

Yeah not sure, I would hazard a guess saying it's not engineered. Most likely if I did buy it and get defected - i'd get it engineered (at a cost :( )

*Edit - mlr, have you ever been to motorkana's with SSCC? I live around the corner from the president of SSCC..I believe.

Personally I would wait till your on your full licence, and then get something else, why was the motor changed ?, lots of bargains out there if your willing to wait and then low ball some sellers.<BR><BR>Its a buyers market out there with the new laws for turbo cars. <BR><BR>No khanas with SSCC yet, ones coming up at the creek but Im not sure if Im available, stupid work.

See, I would. But currently my Fiat X19 has blown its head gasket - so i'm taking that opportunity to completely rebuild the engine, and I work fulltime in ultimo - at the moment am driving my parents honda CRV there every day , plus they don't want 120k a day added onto its mileage..- I need my own reliable daily driver. Because honestly, the Fiat will never be reliable! The fiat club of nsw has motorkanas - SSCC has attended them several times the last 2 or so years!

Nah, I want something I can enjoy for the rest of the time - hence going after a skyline, if I wanted something just to run around in then I would get a 4cyl toyota or pulsar or something.

Pics!

And Yes Tony, whilst the head is off, a few hp additions will happen..I've had a ride in a Delta Integrale...wow.

There are certainly exceptions out there but I wouldn't buy a Skyline of that age that's already been tampered with if you want a reliable daily driver :)

If you do decide to go ahead, could get a workshop to go over it and give it a thorough check?

That was my plan - hence asking someone here to come along, so if they notice something right away, they can tell me don't do it , and save the money of an inspection.

Do non turbo r32's come up often?

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
