Hi all,

Just joined, so do forgive me if posting a 'hello' post is not allowed or if I'm doing this in the wrong section.

Anyway I joined as I'm a Sydney-sider looking to buy an R32 GT-R and (in addition to everything I've already read here) any advice is more than welcome.

I've also seen several cars for sale here but the threads have since gone cold, so I'm hoping to be around for the next one that pops up and grabs my attention.

Mechatronic engineer - F1 aficionado - former F3 mechanic - motorsport purist.

Cheers,

James.

Thanks gents,

Either is fine really but if modified (be it slightly or worked) it has to be clean with appropriate documentation.

Will primarily be a track car for a few outings per year but that doesn't mean I want to be doing any form of major rework (unless the price is right).

does it have to be a 32?

mark is selling his 33, very cheap for what it is.

have seen it in the flesh, car is meticulous.

Doesn't need to be a 32, but I don't want a 33 (nothing personal, just don't like the look of them), and a 34 is most likely out of my budget so I'm left with 32. I do have a sweet spot for their look though, I must say.

GT-R is preferred, yes.

Sweet spot for the 32, that is.

Been playing with the idea of stepping into a 32gtr over the 34gtt.

Still early days and might not end up doing it.

Cheaper to modify by a long shot! Just get Benji to help you pick one :ph34r:

He'll be my #1 info source.

Good information isn't far away.

Yep I'll soon let you know the originality of the panel gaps, whether all the seams are in tact, which panels have copped a fresh lick of paint, and a quick look under the car will show whether the car has had structural damage etc.

and what's wrong with having a boat? YARR WE CAN SAIL THE SEAS AND PLUNDER BOOTY

That would require an offshore powerboat license! That is one quick boat!

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
