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:(

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
