Looks sweet dude.

Do you mind if i ask how much you picked it up for??

Probs my favorite colour 32!

Hi mate........

A a matter of respect to the seller and myself all I will say is that I hope to have change from my maximum budget of $22K although I think I will struggle as it needs new tyres as well.

That figure has to incorporate a complete turn key car that would be equivalent to a Japanese auction grade 4/4.5 including 12 months NSW rego and transfer fees.

In addition, all fluids, belts, hoses, neglected items inclusive of a major service must all be included.

Oh well..... I love these projects, I enjoy watching a reasonable car become very good. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Ive been in the market for a 32 GTR for me / GTST for my girlfriend for a while myself now, Sold my mint one back in 09 and have regretted it ever since and basically been searching for another since then. I have reached the point where I'm basically ready to give up, I have scoured the import dealers and they are way overpriced and in such sad condition, and the private ones just as bad and many with terrible dodgy mods, but a few grand cheaper,

I think its time to accept its a 22 year old performance car that has been used and abused for all its life and finding a mint one like my last one will be near impossible. I ended up buying a clean 33 GTST to try tide me over and that was nothing but a nightmare, looked clean but engine / driveline started showing huge problems just a few days later so I fixed it up and sold it.

I might just buy a 06 WRX or something now and just have one nice car instead of a GTR and a daily, I have considered a 34 as they are newer but I don't like the look of the GTT and my budget is 20 - 25k so a 34 GTR is out of reach.

I'm sure theres some good ones hiding out there somewhere, just unfortunately I think I've ran out of patience. Good luck with your search.

Dave, clean, original colour white, 1994 stock standard R32 GTR V Spec II , not on the market yet but will be in the next couple of days. Within your budget, PM me if interested.

No worries mate completely understand.

Well it looks great, good job!

Nice one Bob, looks great. Last thing you want on a Sydney to Melbourne trip is some annoying noise!

Latest EVO (UK) tyre test rated the Conti Sport Contact 3s the best amongst the test group, followed by Hankook Ventus S1 Evos, then Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 2s.

Followed by Michelin PS3, Pirelli P Zero, Bridgestone Potenza S001, Dunlop SP Sport Maxxx GT, Vredestein Ultrac Cento, Kumho KU39 Le Sport and Accelera PHI, in that order.

Thanks Matt.......

I contract to Bridgestone in their Golf division plus I've been a Bridgestone fan for many years so not much chance of changing.

The old RE001 was a great tyre so I can only presume the new RE002 will be slightly better.

I know all the R&D they do.... great company.

Bob.:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Well the R32-R34 GTRs came on Potenzas from the factory right? So knowing you, you'll want something as close to original as possible :P

I've had RE001 Adrenalins before in both 17" and 18" sizes; was pretty happy with them and they were great value vs. the old S-02s / S-03s I think.

Tyres - if it's a daily driver, try looking at something like Kumho KU31. I have them on my car and I think they're great for what you pay. I like my cars to corner in the wet ;)

volt gauge - just pull it out and replace the bulb, a Philips head screwdriver and some patience is all you need.

Thrust bearing - gearbox out, lots of labour, $600+?

Climate control - there's a thread on this forum that explains how to fix it, sorry I can't remember where it is atm.

My two cents :)

Great buy

Yep,. thanks for all that.

It's at my mechanics now getting a heap of work done including a gearbox rebuild...

Good read on this thread! its been really helpful as im about to do this whole thing as well, what to buy, how to find it, where to go, interstate mebbie and so on and so on ..... it may be a hard task but im not in a massive rush. Some of those cars mentioned in the first post by bob are still around ... like the silver one out at Master Cars, not to trash that car as i have not seen it, but i wonder why its still there after all this time. Ive noticed really decent GTRS sell str8 away when they come along,,. Ill keep my eyes on posts and so on, see what happens. :)

The car I've bought would rate slightly better than about a 6/10.......

It needs gearbox overhaul as reverse is near impossible to get once she's warmed up.

The air-conditioning needs to be inspected and serviced and a top to toe service, replacing all fluids, belts and hoses where needed.

I have an original Nissan Bose (Clarion) premium radio cassette player to go in which will be matched to the factory fitted rear speakers.

It needs tyres but as I stated previously, I contract to Bridgestone so I am entitled to a small discount. I'll get a set of Adrenalin RE-002's.

The wheels are good just need to machine the far outer edge and touch up. My mate has a Touch up Guy Franchise so he will do that for me for a token fee.

Suspension is perfect and pretty much at std height. Brakes are good with new front rotors and new pads all round.

The interior needs a bit of a tidy up though..... Dash bubble is there but it's just too dear to pay someone to remove and refit dash.

Drivers seat need work so I'm meeting with my trimmer tomorrow morning to discuss options.

I can buy a damaged drivers seat but with OK trim if needed.

Ideally I'm keen to see if he has some material that will match...... I'll let you guys know if I have any joy.

Exhaust is stock so nothing required there other than raising the tailpipe a touch.

My hope is to bring the car to a 8.5/10 and as close to budget as possible.

Ordered new plates for her last night.......... GT 032

Cheers,

Bob.

You can (last time I tried) get all the bits for the box from Nissan and i_cant_remember_the_name_of_bearing_people_but_your_gearbox_rebuilder_will.

However, the disassembly + gaskets + bearings + reassembly_assuming_no_broken_bits won't leave you much change from $1k.

You little boys and your toys. If you don't have any mechanical knowledge at all or have only driven a hyundai before you'll never know what to look for in a high"ish" performance machine when purchasing. There are so many systems on a 20 year old gtr to consider. Don't get one from Blacktown for starters! Come on man use ya brain. Import from those tidy little bastards over there. Un-molested,clean and hopefully rust free. They ARE an old car but,shit, for just over 20k your gonna smash any other ride that could pick up for that $$. Use your melon and be patient. Stay away from s**t that's been "rebuilt". Your getting into trouble straight away unless NISMO built it!! And leave the thing alone unless you are a mechanic stop doing the dodgy s**t to these cars if ya don't know what ya doing!!! Don't get one if ya don't have some $$ in the bank either, they aint cheap to maintain properly with good quality gear. STOP DREAMING!!!

Always a fun and rewarding experience fixing up a car to get it just the way you like. And nice number plates Bob what colour and type did you end up going with ? I recently got new plates for my 32 as well i find they look fantastic with the overall colour of the car.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
