I'm looking at getting this R32 GTR 1990 Grey 85,000km

-Boost controller

-Boost gauge

-Cat back exhaust

-HKS twin air pods

What would this be worth roughly, all complied and registered?

Is the market for these getting cheap really quick?

Depends.

They will probably go up in price after december, because no more will be coming in under the 15yo rule.

So now is the time to buy.

Depending on condition....expect to pay between 20-25k.

Just don't go out and buy the cheapest one you find, because they tend to stuff up (just look at the number of ppl getting RB26 rebuilds in the Forced Induction Section)

So pay a bit more now, so you pay less in the future. Also, having a boost controller (without proper supporting mods) isn't usually a good thing.

I definately understand where your coming from.

So around the 20-25k mark standard?

What are some major probs with the R32 GTR?

Is it common for RB26's to have engine failure?

Well A LOT of the 89/90 models have turbo/engine failure, which is quite expensive to fix. Also, some of them have rusted areas and other small annoying age related problems.

Also, Skylines really don't hold their value in terms of mods, its all about condition.

So for 25k you might get an immac stocker, or a slighlty rougher car, with a few goodies (aftermarket FMIC, ECU, turbos etc)

So yeah, between 20-25k, depending on condition.

you cant really gauge the worth of a GTR as each one has a different history. Same rule applies to all cars. Just remember what a GTR was built for. You will be buying a 15 year old that may or may not have had a rebuild. Like already stated, dont buy the cheapest one you can find. Likewise, dont buy one if you can only just afford it.

it all depends on what you want a car for. for me, yes it is good. Expensive but good. As for strong.....you must remember you are after a car with 15 year old parts. It all depends on how the car was treated by previous owners. No car is unbreakable.

LoL.

They are very strong cars, but as WLDCRD said, not unbreakable.

I wouldn't call them 100% reliable.

Only buy one if you have backup funds for maintenance and repairs.

But once they're up and running, they're usually fine, bar the initial hurdles. If you manage to find one that is already up and running, then you're set.

If you're thinking of spending 20k max, then buy a s2 R33 for less money, you'll have some money left over for mods, plus maintenance and repairs will be a hell of a lot cheaper. But at the end of the day, a GTR is a GTR. So if you can afford it, go for it, you'll never regret it.

Just sick of getting defected, so i thought get a GTR. Standard they've got like 200kw, thats plenty of power.

If you can leave your R standard, then you have more self control than just about anybody that I know. Since they respond SO well to mods and get the power down SO well, they just BEG for mods :(

if you have the money for a gtr i would definetly say get one. after being in a mates gtr i was blown away at how much power it has and how good generally the whole rb26 package is. sure it might cost a bit more to maintain at the start until you get everything runing sweet but it is well worth it in the end. i cant wait to sell my r33 gtst and get a nice r32 gtr!!!! :O:(

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
