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.

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...

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
