Can i just say a quick HELLO :action-smiley-069: out there to all you guys on here, haven't been on here for a very very long time!!

Now im keen on buying this R32 GTR http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/380720-fs-freshly-rebuilt-r32-gtr/ and i notice that it was a previous resident to SA. Just wondering if anyone has been in or seen this car before and if you could tell me a little about it.

I've offered to swap him for my R34 GTT http://www.carsales....id=1331D2BCF9DF

What do you guys think?

Hi Steve! Sorry guys here is the link http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?R=11009627&__Qpb=1&Cr=4&__Ns=pCar_RankSort_Int32|1||pCar_PriceSort_Decimal|1||pCar_Make_String|0||pCar_Model_String|0&keywords=&__N=1216%201246%201247%201252%201282%204294963846%204294963593%20901%204294932850&SearchAction=N&silo=1011&seot=1&tsrc=allcarhome&__Nne=15&trecs=15&__sid=1331D2BCF9DF

What do you think?

Unfortunately i still haven't had the pleasure in driving an R32 Gtr so i still don't know what it would be like compared to the 34 as far as comfort and handling.

Edited by Leeman

all depends on how its setup comfort and handling should be on par with a Japanese car of the time

the 34 will have a couple of different mod cons the 32 still has climate control how ever a little older but its the true Godzilla, the one we revere and all love

you may have to negotiate a small amount of cash his way but not really sure if at all or how negotiable he will be, i guess something you will find out in due course

He did ask for a small amount of cash his way Steve. So do you think it would be a fair deal? Really not sure mainly because i haven't been for a ride in a 32 gtr.

Does anyone else know of this car?

Hi Lee, if its the SNIPER car then I took those photos. It was owned by shane (RBWARE) previously then sold to a young guy named Matt. He sold it only about 4 months ago. Its had two engine builds. Wheels were ordered specially from Crystal auto in Japan. Custom leather trim done in Lonsdale etc...

Its also my old 32 in the background of the first pic. Paint si fading in a few spots and there is a little rust in the rear quarter round the windows but the engine work is definitely fresh.

I reckon it was sold for less than he is asking previously. Personally I'd say closer to 20k is realistic value. MY opinion of course.

Thanks heaps for the helpful info guys! :thumbsup:

Cheers Martin, shane (RBWARE) just pm'ed me about the car. He agrees with you.

I think I'll be better off selling my 34 and not doing the swap. Was kind of hoping on something a little cheaper.

The guy selling the car said that he can put more dollars on it because its worth more than what it sold for previously.

Was very tempting and im now very thankful for the help.

Not sure why he wanted to sell it so quick, buyer beware?

He said he didn't want to put highway km on the 32, but what about swapping it to your GTT ???

..if you have the patience, sell your car first

money in hand = you'll have a lot more choices.

ive seen it, sat in it and my mate has been in it,

the previous owner was in debt for 70 grand because of two blown engines if im correct with my facts.

having said that though its a monster, used to run 320kw , obviously not now

we had a little race in my mates 32r that was running 274kw and it was a good 50 meters ahead after about 10 seconds haha. and this was when sniper was running its supposedly 'safe tune'

its got perfect paint and a nice match with the volks.

the engine is a worry imo that is all. shane sold it to matt and soon after that the engine blew, from then on it was a money pit for matt and hes still in serious debt from the car.

I was told the reason behind one of the blown engines (if there was two?!)

Coolant line near plenum/underneath plenum split... pissed all the water out rather quick. Engine had no coolant in it and the sensor simply was seeing air within the main coolant line to the motor. Hence went undetected by owner. Very unfortunate...

That being said, kicked my arse into gear about replacing majority of the coolant lines in and around the car...

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
