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..

I have a few, I just don't no how to upload them from my I phone!!

Do you know how to message or email the pics from your phone?

If you do, and want me to post them up for you I'd be only too happy.

Let me know and I'll PM you my details.

Bob.

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
