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.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
