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...

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
