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

i thought REV210 drove a GTs25t? pulling 13.4 and stock wif stock turbo and no fmic ..

Cheers

Ken

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
