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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
