Hey,

Don't have a 32 GTR myself, but i figure make sure you get any car cheacked out before buying buying it. If all comes back ok, then your choice on purchace, but i would suggest getting a full service and definatlly a Dyno, as you wouldn't know when the last time it would have had one.

Went through the same issues before buting my 33 GTS wasn't sure what to get, bought my mates GTS and took it to get dyno and it has Power FC and it was all over the shop!!

If your debating the RWD/4WD issue, go the 4WD cos in the GTR's it only takes a relay switch in cab for changing as you please. :headspin:

Whichever way you decide to go I would reccommend doing a full inspection including compression and leak down test. Sure it costs more, but will save you money in the long run.

Make sure it is done by a reputable place too. We have plenty of good workshops here in Sydney, so don't skimp on finding the right car.

im not a gtr owner, so can someone explain to me, if i bought a r32 gtr (lets pressume it A1 condition)

and i leave it stock, apart from exhaust and suspension.

what added costs would i encouter that i wouldnt normally with my 32 gtst?

also the car wouldnt be used for trackdays etc....

leon look after it and it will look after you i have spent on maintenance but nothing mechanically out of the ordinary. Biggest problem iv had was the clutch but thats all behind me now nothing a twin plate didnt fix .

rebuilding after blowing up 2 turbos instead of 1!

im trying to make the same decision here, except i got 3 car choices - r32/s2-r33 gtst + r32 gtr

duno which way i should go. i need something that will fit this: everyday car - roomy - quick - looks nice - not bad on fuel consumption - no more than $21k (gtr would be imported for less).

unfortunately you will not be able to get a decent GTR imported and ON ROAD for less than 21K any more. also, GTR is not very economical (2.6lt TT lugging around 1500kgs), not very roomy either, but I wouldn't have any other car. :)

GTR! i've got a R33 Gts25t Series 2 but after running my modified gts against a friends DEAD STOCK GTR i was so embrassed that i only managed to match his performance (for a straight line) and i'm running 1.3bar of boost (18.85psi!)

go the GTR! you'll never regret it!

R32 GTR's in good nick are ok but there aren't many of those around.

Unless you have the money for insurance and engine rebuild, stick with a GTS-T.

RB26 engines are race orientated motors that from Japan especially will need some reasonable work on them at around 120-140,000 km due to poor servicing, gone through a few hands and been thrashed by everyone.

A good , genuine low km, Jap import with proven history will cost you over 30K these days.

Having said that, we have a client with an Oz delivered one with 230,000km on the clock and the engine is fine ( stand up rev 210 ).:)

Cheers

Ken

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
