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)

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
