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.

    • 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
