Hey guys,

A friend of mine is looking to buy an R32 GTR. We live in Perth but are planning on going down to Dunsborough over the weekend to check this one out:

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/dunsborough/cars-vans-utes/1993-nissan-r32-gtr-skyline-coupe/1041996076.

If anyone has seen this GTR before or knows anything about it, is it a good buy? The price is very fair given the work done to the car and the overall apparent condition of it. There will be a mechanic coming along to check it out too.

Cheers.

Don't know the car...

Owner posted this about it on Jap Car Parts for sale WA:

The motor came from a wrecked 33gtr and it's done around 20k, it's only been in this car for 3000ks
The gtr had done a big end when we brought it

Other obvious things - white engine bay / silver car, non original dash. Above info doesn't quit fit? Could easily be explained or just me mis-interpreting it.

Goodluck

Well it wouldnt be the first or the last GTR to have a Nismo speedo fitted, most of them have. Quite when it was fitted is a question that you doubtless wont get an answer to. Doesnt have to be an issue just accept that it hasnt done 73kms. Fits into the same mystery bag as nearly every other GTR then.

If the motor compression is good (number read well) and is straight then why not atlest consider it?

Also it is not unknown for silver GTR's to come with different colour engine bays ex factory.

Also looks to have some Cusco (?) coilovers in it. Will be laggy with those cams.

Cheers guys, going to go have a look at it tomorrow. I'll let you guys know how it turns out. I have a 32 of my own and I know just how hard it is to find a decent example. Obviously it's going to be difficult to tell how hard of a life a car has had, even if it's presented well - You can only be so fussy with cars of this age lol.

Also about the engine bay colour, my 32 is silver and also has a different colour engine bay, slightly faded. It's normal as far as I'm aware :)

I've never known nor heard of R32 GTR's having a different engine bay colour to the cars external from factory. Especially not a silver GTR with a white engine bay.

All the R32 GTR's I have seen have a flat colour the same as the external colour. Silver GTR's have a flat grey engine bay.

:/ I could be proven wrong

Edit: That's not to say there is anything wrong with that GTR.

It looks tidy but you need to do a thorough check over.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      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 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.
