We finally found a quality r32 gtst!

It's a black December 89 type M. We wanted a 93, but would not say no to an 89 in good condition, which this was.

It is stock, which is exactly what we wanted... even has stock exhaust! Only mods are a radio and a TV inside which needs to be played with to get working in Aus.

Our engineer looked at it today, and gave the all clear after many tests. This engineer has worked on and raced GTR's. He saved us a lot of money.

So many trips out to Preston... can now stop spending so much time on carpoint, carsales and trading post.

We get the car early next week after compliance and RWC are done. Edit: I am very restless now, all I can do is post threads and change my profile etc. ;)

These are the pics I just took 30 mins ago when signing papers for RWC.

Put those Falken ZE-502 tyres (if I have spotted them correctly) STRAIGHT in the bin...

Or never ever drive the car on boost or in the wet. I don't want to see you on the news, those tyres are shithouse. They have no grip, no stiffness and last forever. The treadwear is probably 300 minimum so they are super hard...

That said, the car looks good. Sorry to rain on your parade but I want your car (and you) to be around to have fun!

Nice looking 32 mate... what plans you got for it in the future?

nothing extreme, i'm very happy with the performance it has stock :D

cut and polish to take the scratches off, maybe change the colour of the wheels - i always liked powder coated black on red and white 32s, not sure what will look good on black though.

Edit: a few more pics

The thing under the stereo is the TV; it slides out like a cd player, then you fold it up to face you - and hits the gear stick if it's in 1st or 2nd gear.

Needs a clean

Nice car. I saw it when I went out to look at another 32 that same bloke was selling It looked great. As for the tyres I would agree bin them if you can.

Here is a pic of the stock wheels powder coated on my skyline. i know the car is not black but it might help you decide if you like them

Very tidy leather on the wheel & parkbrake/gearshift boots for an '89!

Your DIN/aircon surround looks textured, is it? I've only only seen smooth.

Looks like quite a tidy car! Might wanna clean the engine bay though :D

angelus: i don't really wanna state the price, but seeing as you're on a skyline site you should be able to work out the cost of a stock 89 gtst in good condition.

cul: i think its smooth but will check

yeah i want an SAU sticker... it will be the only sticker, i assure you all :D

thanks lads :D

yep they are pretty bad. I had them on my last car (32 GTS-T). They're great for doing stupid things tho. I had a heap of fun with them on my 18's @Decca right before I sold the car.

As for modifying it. You will most likely get the urge to do so and a 32 GTS-T is dangerous for the inexperienced. (but heaps of fun still)

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
