Yes i used to own a R32 GT-R , about 5 years ago.

i now have a R33 GT-R and R34 GT-R Vspec , the R32 i owned was 1991 and was "laggy" compared to my cars now if you know what i mean , when cornering understeer was happening whilst going fast around some turns if you know what i mean then id do a laggy powerslide ..

youll understand what i mean after you hop in a R33 GT-R and R34.

Thanks for the info, the reason i am asking is because this christmas the 1990 cars become eligable for import under the 15 year rule.

I just trying to decide on a car, can someone describe how they are and where should i look for a seller?

Thank you!

yeh id just buy a 1990 and wait till they are 15 years old since the 1989's arnt such a good build.

lwells think hes joking about the bad bild mate, they're all the same maybe trilabs doesn't realise the 32 started in 89.

your 32 understeered? wow!

i think most 89 were recalled a couple of times for various things ,attessa.big end prob`s oil pressure prob`s etc.. however they had everthing sorted by 1990 ...i remember reading that on a nissan web site somewherethey called it teething problems

i`m waiting to get the 1990 model ..just to be sure

In defence of the 89s if they've been recalled, then they've been fixed/sorted; unless you've found a particular example which has not been taken back for the work (which would be under Nissans warranty) which I'd say would be rare - given that infact; these issues/recalls existed.

I'd be wary of putting my money on bringing in a 1990 model under a 15 year rule in 2005, that rule may no longer exist, DOTARs has already made suggestions of this.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
