God damn thats lush.

I wish I could get 40k together in time before the auction closes.. I would take one of these over an r33 gtr any day. :)

WOW! That is beatiful. It's as close as you could get to buying a brand new R32 GTR. 12000ks, full service history, one owner. That my friends is a collectors car. If I hadn't just bought a 32GTR I would stretch the budget to buy that for sure. WOW!

looks all good except the semi rusty brake rotors...

thats not a problem. just shows that the car hasnt been driven for a while. happens to all cars that sit around.

its good to get a car with that low ks but i dunno about 40,000. maybe if the ks were that low on a 93 or 94 but not an 89...

got mine for $14k with 50k on it..  

same spec..

It's not about the km's, its about the CONDITION of the car. If you think your car is anything close to that for 14k, Your dreaming.

Aybee: its 12,000kms. I would take this over an 93-94 model i've ever seen on the auctions my friend :)

I spent similar money for a 100,000 kay logged aus delivered stock 91 GTR. Mine is in pretty much perfect condition.

I would, if I hadn't bought my car yet, probably gone for one like this - looks great.

Only one question - why is the engine bay painted black? Were all 32Rs engine bays black?

yeah theres just a stigma with selling older cars.

like mine, its faster than lots of cars around, but cause its a 32 no-one wants to buy it. cause this is a 89, there would be less people inclined to pay 40k for it, no matter what condition. to many people a perfect 89 is not worth 15k more than an excellent 89, or even a 93,etc.

There is no doubt its an outstanding example: buy it, garage it, count the concourse trophies.

However, I personally would not buy that car for $40K. Why? Well, I think I would be afraid to drive it: I wouldn't want to add milage, have it affected by wear and tear, or god forbid, be scratched, keyed, bumped, crashed into, etc. What's the point of a "driver's car" -- which is what a GT-R is all about -- if you can't or won't drive it?

Moreover, when it comes to buying cars, a car that is used regularly and well maintained is often a better buy: cars that sit for long periods have a whole other set of problems compared to your average car.

Stirlo_GTR: lol -- are you seriously comparing you $15k GT-R to this?

Garage queen.

This is much more common in Ferrari land where you might see a 30 year old car with 5,000km on the dial and still with the original spark plugs, tyres etc.

While this sort of car makes me wanna sit down, look at those lovely pictures and have a drink, the reality is that Hiroshi Hasegawa like Enzo Ferrari, wanted these cars to be driven, driven hard and even abused.

Are there even concourse events for Japanese cars?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      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.
