Afaik the M-Spec come with the leather steering wheel similar to the GTR one. The black car appears to have the standard (like everyone else has been saying, non M-Spec) wheel, similar to the boring Silvia steering wheels.

Check out the gearshifts. The black car looks like it is plastic and the silver car has the M-Spec leather shifter.

As far as which one is 'better', if you can check out both in the flesh, do so. Cost out how much each car will cost to repair/replace/upgrade parts to what you want and take the cheaper of the two :(

Definitely agree with Pred, the silver car looks pretty tired and all the go-fast bits have been removed or are shagged. I wonder what the GTR bar for GTSt is worth? May be a consideration?

The 2nd one although lookin better has obviously lead a harder life by the look of it, grab the black one and spend some money to make her look better. R32 standard rims are only like $300ish with tyres and will make it look way better! Type M side skirts around $150 and bam it looks tha same as the grey cept better condition :mad:

Get the silver one. The km's arent to bad for such an old car. Silver looks awesome, the black one will just piss you by not being a Type-M when everyone elses is a type-m.

$2000 buys a fair bit of cleaning up, and i dare say you are getting it for damn cheap anyway. ($7-10k?) Thats almost half the price i paid for my r32 2 years ago...

Thanks for the feedback guys. Well after a lot thinking, moving back and forth, the deciding factor was the saving of $2000(which some will goto repairs etc.). So even tho its not as good of a car it looks like ill have to stick with the grey 1. Im only 17 and dont work that much so $2k for me is a lot of money. In my family i have a mechanic, auto elec and panel beater so labour to fix it wont cost me anything. Plus i dont want to spend much on eather car as i would rather save that money for a gtr.

So i guess this means the black 1 is up for sale ;) PM me if your interested.

the silver one might not have AM brakes, might just be red paint. Timing belts cost between 40-50 dollars but the labour can sometimes be expensive. But you said you had a mechanic in the family so it's probably ok. I'm going to change my timing belt when the car arrives, just for peace of mind.

black r32's look sweet. But I agree with Gordon, I suggest you wait till they are both here, then go over them both with a toothpick and make your decision. :P

Im not going to say exactly what i payed for the car but because i import them myself i save a lot of money. I was told i can get a whole new engine for under $1.5k so worst case i buy a new engine.

hes 17 years old...he simply cant save up and buy a r32 GTR or a r33. i was in the same situation. i had some money as was really interested in a r32 gtst. however, i wouldnt buy the first car that i looked at. i would look at a few more and see if you can get any better ones. my gtst ended up costing another $1000 to fix up before rego and after the car was land all up it was an extra $3000 or something to get on the road

i say, wait till both cars arrive, and decide then

i'd stay away from the first car if it has non-type-m brakes, 4 stud hubs. And drive both cars, see which one has tighter engine/gearbox/clutch etc. Also sometimes it's hard to tell from the pics how good the paintwork actually is. you may need to respray the grey one.

The rims on the first car look crap imo, even crapper if they are 4-stud coz you'll have trouble finding decent rims because most of the good stuff is 5-stud only.

If you post the cars vin numbers (HCR32-XXXXXX) i'll look them up in fast for you.

Jan	Special Edition 60th anniversary of Nissan's foundation commemoration vehicles released:

 GTS-t Type M 60th Anniversary (2 Door)

Rezzeh, the significance of that is that the 60th Anniversary Type M was released in 1993, not the regular Type M, which was a higher spec package on a regular GTSt from day one.

Updated thread so confusion is avoided.

Actually, both cars are really not worth the money mate. The mileage is very very high. It is going to cost you lots of problems. Why don't you save up your money and get the R33? or the R32 GTR??

What? Most R32 GTSTs that have been in the country a few years are now up around the 150,000 to 200,000kms and to the best of my knowledge they dont have any major problems.

Problems , No. Maintenance, yes. The only thing that has failed on my car in just under 5 years of ownership is the alternator. Torn boots and rubber etc need replacing but they are the sort of things you can schedule/budget to fix whilst you are driving the cars in the meantime:)

They are expensive cars to own, fuel/rego/insurance/maintenance etc, but they are not problematic cars, even with high kms

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
