R32 For sale

Hi guys, ive been looking to buy a 32gtr for a while now.. I'm in Victoria but I have found one interstate that id like to look into a little more. Just wondering if anyone has already inspected the car or has some extra info on it. This is the car in question

I haven't inspected it :(

However it looks genuine in the photos presented.

A few things have been added to it other than the exhaust.

Handbrake boot, aftermarket head unit, front shocks, strut brace, floor matts - nothing of importance really.

I like that it has the OEM wind deflectors, the c-pillar internal trims are intact.

Worth looking at.

$49k asking price I suppose is pretty good with the way 32's are going up in value over the last 12months.

One thing gets my goat in the description "neck breaking acceleration". If you've driven an OEM 32 it's stretch to describe it like that. Just the linear way in which they accelerate negates "neck breaking acceleration".

Would you drive it or park it is the question ;)

Heartbeat cars seem to target the lower mileage grade 4 cars.

I haven't seen the car but in the pictures it does look quite tidy.

I've looked at a few cars they have sold, some good some not so good.

It's advertised as having books and all relevant export documentation which is a must.

I think it has coilovers plus the other mods mentioned in the ad.

If you can negotiate a deal as closer to $45K you are doing well.

If you buy it, make sure you get them to bend the rules a bit and overlook the side guard blinkers in the compliancing .

When fitted aftermarket, they are really an eyesore and are rarely aligned to the GT badge.

Anyway, on face value, a nice car!

Bob.

Thanks for the info guys.. I did notice the suspension had been changed .. It has Ohlin shocks.

I guess that's just your typical salesmen talk sinista haha.. I haven't actually driven a stock one but yeah I cant imagine they'd be too quick. My plan would likely be to drive it.. I drive maybe 20km's a day so it would definitely be bought to enjoy until its eligible for REC REG atleast.

As you mentioned Bob its a grade 4 and does look to be in pretty good condition. I was assuming the compliancing would already be done but yeah thankfully they have left the side blinkers off. I imported a 32gtr a few years back and they left them off then thankfully.. they look terrible.

Preferably I want a white 32 so if you guys know of any please let me know but this looks to be worth a look.

I think Heartbeat have a White R32 V-spec for sale as well for $52k ??

I spoke to Heartbeat yesterday, obviously talks a bit of rubbish like all used car salesman but seemed ok to me.

I'm currently looking as well for an R32 but seems anything imported now is going to have something that requires fixing given age. km's etc and for the prices they are fetching its hard take that you may have to spend $$$ straight up when your already paying 40K plus

Why does it worry you djr81? From what I've seen they have all got paint flaking regardless off km's or have been resprayed at some stage?

There are a number of telltales for high kms.  I am not saying they apply to this car.  But they usually are warn seat, warn steering wheel, warn leather boots and paint off the plenum. As I said the car looks tip top but I would ask the bloke in the white leather shoes to see if he has an explanation.

The plenum paint is known to flake off anyway so isn't a reliable indicator.  It just stands out on such a tidy car is all. 

It may well be someone has had a go at removing it after a small amount flaked off.

Heartbeat had that V Spec 2 for 45-47k on facebook (cant remember exact price) and it was listed as sold in a few hours. Then it got listed again for 51.5k. This was a few months ago

maybe a poor attempt to jack up prices

I got my car from a guy who purchased his car off HeartBeat cars. Whilst I don't have any personal experience with them directly, the car speaks for itself and its immaculate, clean, straight rails, no rust etc etc.

I've been keeping a keen eye on prices and whilst good examples are pricey...at the end of the day you usually pay for what you get.

A R32 Vspec II with 50k kms on the clock for $30k AUD landed...is well quite frankly almost too good to be true.

What are people thoughts on a grade RA imports?

I was also considering a tidy example from Heartbear car - https://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Nissan-Skyline-1994/OAG-AD-14565738/?Cr=3

I have received the de-registration papers to verify kilometers and the auction papers but was a little concerned spending up being on a grade RA.

What are peoples thoughts?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
