hey everyone, I am after some advice on buying a 32 GTR. I did do a search for a buyer guide but couldn't find anything.

The car that i am going to look at, I have seen before and was very ruff!!! Has been sitting at the dealer for ages, when i say ages i mean years ages..

From memory it had a fair bit of rust in the boot channel and it has a rust stain running down the ride hand side from underneath the quarter window. I am hopeing to get the car on the cheap, so i can rescue the poor thing and eventually get it back on the road. My main concern is identification!! Can anyone give me some advice on what numbers i should be looking out for? and ANY other advice would be great aswell...

When you say "save it" are you talking a few bandaids to get it driving and have some fun, or get it back to very good condition inside and out?

If its the latter, then i would probably say don't waste your time.

There are nice 32's out there that'll probably cost you half as much in the long run with much less headaches (depending on what needs to be done to save this one)

I'm yet to see anyone "save" a GTR properly that didn't quadruple their intial budget at best and/or spend years doing it.

The voice of reason there. Plenty of good ones and not so good in the for sales section. From the sounds of it, it sounds like a dog and should stay at the caryard.Once rust gets into them look away unless it was driven by Sir Jim and you have very deep pockets.

I was trying to work out how best to reply to this thread because red flags were going off in my mind.

However, my brain seemed to be riddled with rust and I then tried to "save it".

Then I saw Bobby's reply and then I realised...

His brain is not rusty; and now...

Neither is mine!

Ahhhh... Never really thought of all that.. From memory everything was pretty good except the rust. I no that rust isn't cheap to fix and I would be getting a pro to do it.. I was hopeing to get it at the right price.. But then again, if it's bad it's bad and there is really no point in trying to save it..

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
