What are the best places to start looking for a nice condition R32 GTR other than online car sites and the trading post.

Are there places where you can place an order and they will import a car for you and offer warranty.

Would appreciate any links to such places or names of such places so I can give them a call for some quotes. :headspin:

Dunno about anyone else, but the guys at www.gtprojects.com are great and i also checked out the peoples at http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/

they don't really do quotes though, they can give you a rough idea of what they think they can get you a r32 gtr for thou, no exact $.

to give you a bit of an idea, gtr's in japan (correct me if im wrong) start at about (aus)$12,000 landed in aust, but i don't think i would wish one of them on my worst enemy, at that price they would have to have been thrashed quite a bit.

there is a good article in no. 46 of HPI (High Performance Imports Mag) that talks about importing a 1989 r32 gtr, what to look for and what not. I think HPI say that you would want to pay about $(aus)25,000 on road for a good r32 gtr (1989)

get the mag and read thou.

hope this helps

decent R32 GTR's start at $18,000. for that price many have reconditioned engines, and i wouldnt import one if it didnt coz you need to remember they are 15 year old engines and that can be a problem, especially if its done over 200,000 km.

I think Jspec and prestiege motorsport and the best import companies around...

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
