series 1 horn on a series 2 r32? and you are also missing the chrome lip on the front bar!

You dont fool me :P

Liking the optional knee rest :thumbsup:

If I was looking for a clean r32 i would pay $10k but not everyone is interested in a clean r32 :(

With the changes to P-Plate laws (in victoria) first car buyers cant own turbo cars and that would have been the best market to target. You are now targetting full license drivers who have a bit more money to buy something more powerful/newer and will overlook the r32 gtst even if its in perfect condition. If they are interested in a r32, they would buy a GTR for example.

R32 GTST enthusiasts are a dieing breed, no one spends the time/money to maintain them and no one is keen to start. My opinion, hold onto it because is an extra $7000 in the pocket worth the loss of such a mint condition car?

Im stuck with my r32 until it rusts away :P

If you have any info about the LED's used for the climate control and dash, please PM me. Would like to replace mine :)

Hey Mate,

Thanks for the input, its good to see some honest thoughts.

Yea, the front bar for some reason looks slightly differnt to most GTS-T's, very strange, I have no clue what the previous owner was thinking.

Also, the steering wheel is a series 2 wheel, with a series 2 horn. The GTS-T and the GTR (series 2), are identical, except one comes with a 'S' emblem and the other the 'GTR' leather one, lol.

It was a bitch to find one in excellent condition, so I cant be picky!

Yea, the kneepads are good, also have the outside small rainguards on the windows (no in the pic) and some of the other 'optional' extras (which I had them all, I want the boot - towel rack!)

Yea, the same rules in NSW for P-platers with Turbos, and most full license drivers will want a bigger / faster car, but I am sure the quality of mine will win someone over eventually, considering its a really honest and great car.

Ill message you about bulbs later, as I actually do have info for you

Nothing weird about the front bar. It is a series 2 front bar (found on 1991-1993 r32's) I have the same front bar.

(60th anniversary 1993)

What's missing on yours is the chrome lip which sits ontop.

Refer to pic of my chrome lip. This lip slides onto those notches you have on the front bar.

Series 1 GTST has the shiney plastic horn button

(note the blue dash found on series 1 model)

Series 2 GTST has the material/vinyl horn button

(note the series 2 seat material and grey dials on the dash)

Attached is a photo from my 1989 Skyline R32 brochure for proof :)

Barely anyone would pick up the differences (let alone any fussy r32 owner) so i wouldnt worry haha

If you could PM me details about the LED's that would be great.

Cheers

I'd only noticed the difference in trim around the head unit/AC area. (flat black vs grey textured).

I would be willing to pay 9-10K for that car however if i hadn't already found mine. Love the colour and the condition is immaculate..

Yea, It's amazing how many small things they changed over the years, and the variations of the material and colours. I think the suede material for my seats matches the door trims and carpet perfectly. I do see what he meant about the series 1 / series 2 steering wheel. I remember ages ago seeing an OLD steering wheel which came on the R32, it looks aweful, I think it might have come only on the GTS version (it looks really boxy and old compared to the series 1/2 shown here, I remember seeing it somewhere on the forum which it outlined all of the optional extras)

Absolute pain getting a steering wheel, gearknob and handbrake in the same material without being worn to oblivion or swapped with a cheap version from Repco or Supercheap.

Would be great to keep the R32 forever, but I would like to get something slightly newer to accommodate a family eventually (but still sporty looking).

Awesome stuff thanks for the info. Hope you like the bulb info for your dash surround and climate control unit I sent you :P

cheers brah

Talking to some people who work in the auto industry, car manufacturers also make a lot of revisions between series' which arent as obvious as trim. I have a theory that they may have changed the glue/adhesive holding the dash down. Anyone had any dash bubbles in a 1991-1993 model r32? So far I havent developed any dash bubbles and car has been sitting in the sun for 5yrs+ in Australia....

/offtopic

i think around at bare min i would take 8.5 for it. else ill just keep it. Spent over 13k for the car plus upgrades so anything less is too much of a loss.

You would be doing quite well if you got that for it. Someone might pay that for it but you would have to be prepared to wait a long time. The only way you would get that kind of money is from someone on the forums who knows their sht.

Good luck though. It reminded me of my first car which I think I sold for $10.5k about 2 years ago...

Hey thanks for the reply and info mate, sorry about my late reply.

Yea I have decided that after January I will be putting the car up for sale / trade to see what I can get for it. It will have rego and small imperfections I still noticed fixed.

I managed to replace the entire Dash, Dash Surround, Climate Control and other items (ignition barrel, cigarette lighter, etc) bulbs changed for LED's. So it looks really nice now.

Ive started another topic where I am looking to buy an R34, so if you know anyone who is selling their R34, or would would like to trade (plus extra cash for the difference), that would be cool :P

Thanks for all of the input so far guys. :P

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
