After selling my other auto 32 im now on the market for a manual.

My dad is importing 2 r32's and i have to decide which 1 i wont( im paying for 100% of the car)

EDIT:More Pics lower!!!

  • Sunroof
  • cheap and nasty head unit
  • 165,000 Km
  • Aftermarket Gearknob

Car 2(R32 Grey)

88866614aa8iq.jpg

  • 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.

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
