Ok well i just payed 27,000 for my r32 GTR 90 modle, the mods it had are cat back exhaust and a turbo timer, it also had bilstein suspension and r33 gtr wheels etc. I hear you all going shit you payed a bit, but i payed what i thought it was worth. I got my car imported through SVI in brisbane Mick is great he does every thing for you, all you have to do is wait, which was not long only 8 weeks from going there picking a car and driving away. And i now hear you going well i got mine for 20,000 well good on you but i can garantee mine is in far better condition and, i had a look at the stock list that prestige and 101 had and to be honest its all shit. They dont even give a crap if the car doesnt drive good or if it doesnt pass compliance, all they do is go heres you car have fun. Trust me if your really after a nice lookign well looked after GTR i highly recommend SVI there number is 07 3865 8999. And if i was you id be spending upwards of 25k to get a decent one. Just my 3 cents

i recommend you spend the next two years driving like a granny to get your insurance rating up and saving enough to afford full comprehensive.

He who cannot afford full comprehensive should not buyeth an R32 GTR. Not meaning to offend you, but a GTR is not a car for tightwads, as the costs of maintaining one are a LOT more than a regular skyline. Plus if you hit someone in your car then you'll have to pay em, AND if somone steals your car you'll get a cup of coffee 3 grand and a pat on the back.

I have my GTR, im 19 but its not that i cant afford comprehensive its just that im not stupid enough to pay comprehensive. Its a load of shit what they ask for a person my age well not really considering some of the f*&k wits that go around. I just go with covering the other persons car if i hit someone. As for some bogan without insurance hitting me. I guess i just have to take that chance to drive the car i had my first wet dream about...

As for planning for your car. It never goes to plan. When you have the money in your pocket and you can afford all the problems that come with owning a GTR, buy one. I spent 9 months with 30k in my account looking for my car. Maybe too long but it was worth it. I had heaps of bugs with it coming from japan and it cost $2000 just to get it to go good with all its stupid LITTLE but EXPENSIVE faults. I also said that i'd leave it the way it is. But now i have a new bottom end comming, turbos e.t.c. things NEVER stay to plan. you can never have enough ponys!!!

Dude, I hope that comment was'nt directed at me..?

As I reeeally dont care what 'you' or 'anyone' pays for there GTR as long as they are happy with it...!..? nor do I judge anyone by it.

I also had a budget of $25000 to bring a GTR into OZ and was quite prepared to pay it, but as it happens I found one that suited me perfectly for under $20000 landed (From Auction not current stock ;) )

Looks in OK nick to me.......?

thats true,guys lets not fight..well i would be having third party fire and theft...tell me whats the problems with GTRs....only neg things i heard are the brakes even if they are 33 brakes and their attessa...and front control arm part breaking...as i know/heard some ppl getting into accidents because of that and forgot the engine rebuilds cost a shitload in parts

how much is it for a n1 oil pump again i if i recall its 700 dollars correct me if im wrong but thats the same price as a say VN v6 engine or a series5 gearbox

  • 4 weeks later...
I must be in Dreamworld then!..?

From the pictures I've been sent mine seems to be in great cond for under 20G's :thumbsup:

Mechanically I can not comment as yet...but i'm planning on doing plenty of mods anyway so really dont give a rats :)

You both have good points!

to get a non flogged out GTR for 20k is aking way too much!

maybe in condition of interiour and shit like that, but the poor old RB26dett will be SAD! I know for a fact that the japs dont let GTRs leave unless they have good reason to sell them.

but yeah on the same hand if you are willing to get a GTR that in good nick in looking good, and ya going to spend the money on it to get her all healthy well go for it !! 20k is a good deal!

kezza :)

I don't know what you've heard about R32 brakes but my old R32's brakes were awesome! I out braked a Porsche 927 going into turn 1 at EC and consistantly outbrake S15's into corners. Most of the time it's worn out seals in the Nissan brake calipers that are the culprit. And as for ATESSA, that's driver error. People stack it because they lift off when the car's side ways. ATESSA works with the throttle down when sideways. The computer will tell the front wheels to pull. There's a thread about it.

But as others said, it is an expensive car to maintain and own. How you cover it is entirely up to you.

what i heard was from a forum about the brakes,ive heard from word of mouth about from people and from a person who has a GTR who has had a accident,wasnt putting the car down guys *sigh* another 2 yrs driving a old car

There is nothing wrong with GTR brakes at all. If anything, skyline brakes (across the series) are very well matched for well above the factory power. If he has had an accident, and blaming the brakes, then :)

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
