Hi Guys,

I'm very lucky that the money I saved up for the last 5 years now I can afford a 1989 R32 GTR. As you know under the 15 Yrs rule, the 1989 R32 GTRs are getting easier to import and register in Australia. And as a huge fan on the R32, I'm very keen to purchase one for around $20,000 to $25,000 registered and everything.

I've read through the car buyer FAQ page avalible from this forum, and I would like to get more ideas more specifically on the R32 GTR.

These are things I know or I've heard about the R32 GTRs:

1. They simply cost too much for a 1989 car.

2. Most of them would have had an accident.

3. Most of them would have been trashed.

4. Not the cheapest car to insure.

5. bla bla bla...

It'll be very much appriciated to share your experience, advice and anything you have to say about the car.

Cheers Everyone.

Looking forward to be a skyline owner and part of this forum.

      I can believe it if you're getting air into the pickup. Cavitation is tremendously destructive for pumps.

      I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.

      Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info
