Hey guys im new to these forums im Adzi........

Ive been looking into the r32 gtr latley and must say am very impressed i always thought skylines were a lil overrated (bro-inlaw beat a r33 gtst with a non-turbo supra) a mate of mine also owns a r33 gtst and isnt that quick to say the truth....anyway, i was looking at the stats for the r32 gtrs and saw something on the lines of 4.7second 0-100 13second quater out of a stock car.......i dont think ive heard of this stats from any car from late 80's early 90's......only car was the gt gtho phase III's but thats even before then......anyways ive been looking to get one hopefully next year ( i know long time but i want to do alot of research) and have been looking at some prices why can i see some gtrs yes gtrs going for 18k-20kish yet some others are around the 28k+ mark.......if it is possible to get a good condish r32 gtr for around 18-20 i willl be doing a fully rebuild of the engine plus a custom blue print among other things i have learnt from my past dealings with cars........

Thanks everybody and sorry bout the long post

Ok the 18k to 20k are offen 1989 or 90 models std with very few mods and plenty of km's, so they require a lot of attention to get them up to a reliable performance level.

The GTR up around 28k to 30k will tend to be 1992 to 94 or have been rebuilt or maybe even had some series upgraded installed. So generaly this cars you can just enjoy and don't tend to have to do a lot just for reliable.

In the end both units will tend to cost you about the same as the cheapy will not be so cheap, if a few things fail.

BIGGEST TIP what ever you do try your best to allow to replace the std turbos (even before concidering a rebuild) because a turbo failure can and offen does damage the motor and then your looking at big money. If you can't replace the std turbo's DO NOT turn the boost above about 12psi.

gtr = money pit either way but if you want something straight and reliable with good interior 30K +.

but if you are intent on doing up the motor regardless, wait until you find one that's basically good but has a spun bearing or similar and negotiate. just remember you might need money for gearboxes, clutches possibly trans case rebuild etc.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
