Hi everyone, I'm new around these parts. I'm looking for an R32 GTST. Quick question: Is it safe to buy an R32 which has done over a 100000ks? I've heard horror stories of turbo cars dying past that milage. Forgive my ignorance. Thanks!

thats pretty high milage for a 32 unless its like a 1990 or something.... u can generally pick up a genuine low kms 1992 R32 GTST for about 12 - 13k landed and complied with no mods and a sllightly moded one for about 14000... these are the prices i would go to... no more.

it all depends on the condition of the car etc and who u use to buy it... ie. a dealer or an importer.

do a search in these forums and do a little bit of research... theres countless posts/threads in here about it.

You can see the average klms are 90,000klm which are NOT alot......why is 100,000klms a lot for a 10year old car in japan and not alot for an aussie car????These cars are all 92 models.klms are klms people.And these cars that were sold at JU are most likely for the domestic market...not for export.....or send it to aust and fiddle the odometer and ....there you go .,... a low klm import(cant send the link to the site as you need a password to get in...so i cut and pasted)

if its already in australia and has 100k on it then i would say its probaly ok... but most the ones on the IBC Japan Auctions and a few others are about 80k average.

ie. if ur buying from Japan then i wouldnt get anything above 90k

if ur in australia buying a car already in australia then it would be ok.

just hunt around.

Thats not an auction company though....they might change the meters themselves....... http://www.inter-mic.co.jp/spx/

thats JU auction site...i have JU membership card...when i go to japan i can slide my membership card into the machine and bid.... dunno about those other companys....i cant say anything about this IBC (although i didnt recognise it as an auctionhouse thats why i asked)but other companys change the odometer,and sell there stock via there own online "auction" Ju,JAA,RAA and the much larger USS auction houses are the best way to go...if you can access them

A 10yo car with 100,000km on the clock... thats 10,000kms a year... Sounds like its had a pretty easy life to me...

think about it... how big is japan? they may not drive anywhere near as much or as far as we do so the milage is expected to be lower over time than a car from here

most of the cars u see on craigs site are from IBC Japan... u HAVE to be a registered car dealer to see them... not any joe bloggs can view or even get membership... theyre one of the biggest auction houses in japan.

Have you been to japan inark?????

Used vehicles are selling better in japan than in australia.The klm thing is how i said.....i have seen it with my own eyes many times dude....not trying to be a smarty...its just that people are under a major misconception about the auto trade in japan.I will be in japan as of october for quite some time as i will be there for the birth of my child next year....i will continue posting on this page and people are more than welcome to contact me if they will be in japan and i will escort them to auction house and they can see/buy for themselfs....With the real KLMS....

I dont have to go to Japan... im aware of the whinding back of clocks issue as its been around for decades... its not a new thing. My friend has spent most his life in Japan in the auto industry and tells me everything i need to know... from what he tells me most of the whinding back gets done before it even gets to the auction houses and some of them do it themselves... he tells me of the dodgey ones and tells me of the ones that are ok (very few)... in truth who really cares if its been wound back when u have someone to inspect them and test drive them for u before u buy them.

Its one thing to look at them and bid for them on a screen than it is to test drive them first... im not trying to be a smartass either or tell u how it is... im just stating whats been told to me from a very reliable source.

I wasnt trying to be argumentative i was just trying to explain how IBC japan isnt a small backyard seller :rolleyes:

**EDIT

by the way IBC was not the company i was talking about :) i cant remember the link of the auction yard i was talking about... but it had something to do with them or sounded like them... im at work and dont have all my links here.

will post the one i was talking about when i get home.

**EDIT EDIT

www.idirect.co.jp which is an affiliate i think.. it gives u access to all the auction yards in Japan in one site and lets u bid for them... one of the auction yards is near where my friend lives and he goes down and inspects the cars first.

HAHAHA i knew it started with I... was close... dont shoot me.. im tired and its late and im at work :D

It was a 92 R32 GTST, gun metal grey with front GTR chin spoiler. Odd though, I had a look under the chassis. It looked pretty clean...and the odometer numbers looked like it lined up correctly.

41000kms... unless they had a different engine in it and took the original out for 5 odd years than i doubt it is original kms. Not to say that it isnt but i would be very warey

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
