  • m-spec
  • Very minor dints and scratches in rear
  • M-Spec Rims
  • Sideskirts
  • GTRish Frount bumper (missing lights, has a big gap where FMIC sits)
  • Aftermarket Breaks (not sure which 1's but they are red...)
  • Aftermarket suspension
  • 190,000km
  • Adjustable wing
  • MOMO Steering wheel
  • Stock headunit
  • Lowered (maybe...)
  • Exhaust
  • $2,000 Cheaper
  • No sunroof

Both have HICAS and both are 90 Models.

Now my worry with the Grey car is the 200,000km. Im not sure if im going to have to get the timing belt done again.Whats that going to cost me. The body work i can get fixed for about $500.

What do you guys think i should do.

Having had two R32’s one with a sunroof and one with out, both had coilovers (Teins in non sunroof and Apexi’s in the sunroof car) I myself would get the non-sunroof car. I found with mine the sunroof’d R32 flexed A LOT more under stress IE: mountain runs, drifting ect. And due to age the sunroofs tend to leak. In saying that though, the black car is cleaner and has less kay’s.

are you 100% sure they are both gtsts??? as in have seen them up close with bonnets up?? have any pics of under bonnets???

the black one dead set looks like a GTE, definatly not a type m.

go the grey one....for $2000 you could pick up another RB20, for another $1500 you could pick up an RB25 even. and you can go for a strap straight of the boat and enjoy it.. sounds good, looks good.. dont have to spend money on the basic straight up things...

the brakes look like the standard calipers, type m's had bigger better brakes. they may have just been painted red.

cheers

get the black fella..

Possible the rims have been swapped just with any old cheap crap they had sitting around to sell it off. Front bar same as the one that came on my GTS-T (crap for front mounts though)

The other one has been toyed with.. performance mods obviously removed. I bet you the rest of the car is in poorer state of maintenance as well.

Black is a bit of a bitch, but when dirty still looks nice and tough..

KM wouldn't worry about... OMG you might have actually got a couple of non-wound back cars.. because I think about 90% of 1989 cars have been from those figures to their magical 80-90k mark.

The top one is a (quite rare now) R32 GTS-t - not Type M - with optional factory alloys. The brakes on the black GTS-t are rubbish, especially for a turbo car. For this matter alone I'd go for the Silver GTS-t Type M (I've got one - see sig).

BUT - a couple of things:

**The Black car looks like it's in overall better condition. This is something you should really take into consideration, as R32's are getting long in the tooth now.

**The Silver car has the extra Type M goodies - 4-pot brakes, viscous LSD, GT-R style interior etc - but as with 99% of Type M's... it looks as though it's had a hard life. Expect to replace clutch, LSD, suspesion components; fix rusted out rear wheel arches (around the body kit), and other minor mechanical things.

Having said that, if you want to play it safe, go for the black car. If you don't mind fixing lots of stuff (but end up with a better car), go for the silver car.

M Spec only came out in 1993---> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=39145

(4 piston front brakes, 2 piston rears, super hicas, bigger factory turbo, grey face dash etc)

Noticed something strange...both of the drivers seats look like series1 r32 seats, yet the passenger seats and door trim look like velour (series2).

And i say depending on what qualities in a 32 you're after and what you're gonna be using it for/doing to it should help determine which one you want :(

Beeeep! Wrong.

The Type M was available from May 1989 to July 1993. I've PM'd funkymonkey to change his post.

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
