There were some differences throughout the series, have a search through the forums, I cant remember them all off the top of my head.

EDIT: Below are the changes I can easily find

21/8/1989: R32 GTR released

22/2/1990: R32 GTR Nismo (Grp A base) released. No aircon, no audio, no abs and no rear wiper. Steel wheeled turbos not ceramic

7/1991: R32 GTR N1 released. Almost same as Nismo base but ceramic turbos and non projector headlight

20/8/1991: Minor change to production. Weight increased by 50kg due to side intrusion bars being installed from factory. Projector headlights improved. I am pretty sure there were some other changes around this time (to do with trim etc) but cannot find it.

2/1992: R32 GTR N1 revised with steel wheel turbos.

3/2/1993: Minor change to production. Clutch system changed from push type to pull type. Missions are improved.

Yep, the only thing I can suggest is if its already in Australia, get it taken to a reputable mechanic for a check over and compression test. Get it fully checked out as all the steering and suspension components can cost a damn fortune if they need replacing etc. If its not already in Australia, well good luck :P

With the problems he has listed on the car (failed airflow meter, rebuilt clutch master cylinder, exhaust leak, worn drivers seat) its more consistent with a 80 - 100,000km car in my opinion. But 99.8% of cars are wound back in Japan so that counts for dick.

See if you can get more photos from him, including engine bay pics and interior pics. As its already in AU, also spot the $400 or so to get it fully checked out before you buy it. $400 is some cheap insurance to make sure youre not buying a lemon.

All in all it looks good, and its still got the stock exhaust!!! Something I have never seen before. Get it checked out, if its all a-ok (there will probably be a few problems with cars that age) go for it :P

If yr looking for someone to check out a car you intend to purchase, and you don't know who to get, NRMA will do it. Also look in the Trading Post, heaps of mechanics advertise this service in there.

Hope this helps............

the 89's have increased in cost now. I can show you what a decent 89 GTR is like if you are around (pm me) - (as I imagine many others here can!) It is worth getting a good one in Aust. if you have the extra $$$ to spend, but keep in mind that even an Aussie one might go bang after you have bought it.

The extra $$$ you save by getting an earlier model means more for mods.

I don't think you will get a good 89 for the mid teens now.

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
