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.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
