Hey guys havnt been on the forums for ages since i sold me R34, since then had a mazda rx7 and an evo, but like most people with good experiences with their skylines I want to get another one!!

Im looking at a few 32 GTR's on carsales atm and the one i wanted was sold but my second choice is this one:

http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/nissan-skyline-1989-12839667?base=1216&vertical=Car&cr=9&eapi=2&__N=1246%201252%201247%201282%20901%201216&num=15&silo=Stock&items=%5bMake%3aNISSAN%2cModel%3aSKYLINE%2cSeries%3aR32%5d&sort=default

Has anyone seen it, what do you guys think, worth the cash?

By the way im selling an 2009 Yamaha R6 if anyone is interested, mates rates for an SAU member :)

Cheers guys!

Hey its a nice gtr but i would pay no more the 15k these days you would have to go look in person as he said could do with touch up then offered paint so could be bad or hes just likes his cars real clean but yer theres a few nice 32 gtrs on gumtree atm.

what ever GTR you buy you will be up for ongoing issues with the police these days (if you draw attention to yourself) why not buy one of these if your budget stretches a couple of 1000 more

lot more practical and a lot less attention from everyone. still just as good to drive.

ive had a 32R with heaps of power and if i had my time again id get a 260RS and do the same to that instead.

There are but im looking for something that i dont really have to spend money on, every car i have had i have wanted to but mint, bone stock, like a virgin but then i realised i put 10-15k into it and want to sell it or the next upgrade will be a pricey one and i lose money lol im sure we all do this, so im trying to find something here or i will be going to a friends house this weekend and getting one imported !

Ahhhh good ol Stagea, i love them but if i had to pick between a 32gtr and the 260rs id have to go to the 32, just personal preference, plus what would i do with all that boot space :P

Steve long time no see mate, i have come a long way since the day we put the blue led dash lights in my 34 haha! 4 door gtr????? not planning a family just yet so i think two doors is enough for me :D hows that evo of yours go, might have to take the bike out and see what you can do with that lancer ;)

ill give my two cents. Go buy a rolling shell thats neat from a 32 GTR, find a blown engine and rebuild it completely. It will be a pain to begin with but save you allloottt of money and time in the long run.

I own a 32GTR that i have spent shitloads on (probably too much) and i love it. But an 260rs with a 34GTR frontend conversion looks sexy as! And as for the boot space.... fill it with booze, chicks and a matress lol :yes:

I have found a shell and im going to have a look at it tomorow, the price looks right and i have worked out that i will have to get a bit more money but she will be bulletproof i hope! Will keep you guys updated!!

Hell yeah, alcohol fueled orgy in the back of a station wagon for the win!!!

Would buy /10 if girl and booze came with car, would not care if the motor works or not lol!

Fark.. looked like a nice bike too and you let go of it pretty quick and for cheap. :)

Anyways, good luck on finding a good GTR.

There was a nice VSPEC one on gumtree the other day for 17k-ish which had plenty of fruit.

Probably gone though.

If its the same one that was on carsales, dark blue one with 34 GTR rims i called a day after it was sold! Yeah bike went cheap, i need something a bit more practical!

Good luck with finding a bike there is an R6 like mine for sale bone stock with like 1500km guy said he doesnt ride it anymore, its up for something like 9,500 but the guy that bought my bike said he would take 8,500!

Have a look at the owner, I've found it well tell you about the car and It's history.

I was lucky when I bought my 32gtr as it was my bosses, had it 3 months now, best thing I ever did was buy a gtr. I was a euro man before, but couldn't resist finding out what all the hype was about.

Buy one thats already built to what you think your future plans maybe,

if you happen to find one thats blown then thats ok too but chances are it still doesnt have the gear your going to need if your hunting for more power.

dont rush into it, be patient and find the right one. Dont be afraid to pay a bit extra either.. a well built GTR is worth its weight in gold (ok slight exageration :))

Agreed, its what I did (not saying its gospel or anything) but all I have to do is maintain it, till I get bored of it some aspect

Well as anyone with a highly or even lightly modified GTR will tell you, it costs a bloody fortune!

and most of the time people are only worried about spending money on the engine.. Stuff like worn

Brakes

driveline

Suspension/bushes and

steering components etc

add up very quickly

so dont just think engine..

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
