Hey guys,
I have put a deposit down on a 1990 R32 GTR and have got some pics and a mechanic report.
Car specs are as follows:
--------------------------------------------
1990 Nissan Skyline GTR N1 engine & HKS turbos
Built in Jan 1990
2.6L twin turbo 4WD
5 speed manual
gunmetal grey
112,000 km's
N1 spec engine
HKS 2530 turbos
aftermarket exhaust
aftermarket air filter
aftermarket intercooler
17" AVS model 5 alloys
twin plate clutch
4x additional meters
N1 GTR headlights
--------------------------------------------
The car looks great from the pics; better than I expected. There's a couple of minor blemishes but what do u expect from a 15 yo car?
Anyway, the problem is there's a couple of points of rust underneath the car where u put the jack to raise the car. The pics are attached to the thread.
The mechanical report on the car is as follows:
--------------------------------------------
Nissan Skyline GTR
BNR32-005196
112,057 km's
gunmetal grey
5 speed manual
AC,PW,PS
*Exterior*
Beautiful polish coating
Crack on the rear spoiler
Minor paint blemish on right rear
Left side skirt has gap
Some uneven painting (not bad)
17" AVS model 5 alloys
Mine's exhaust system
*Interior*
Rubbing on back of drivers seat
Left power window switch not working
Steering wheels shakes (wheel balance?)
Audio (CD radio KENWOOD) in the globe box
Greddy boost gauge
Sometimes ABS light comes on
HKS EVC boost controller
Many additional meters
*Engine room*
Clutch and other mechanicals are good
Front strut brace
Apexi air filter
Lumpy idle (possibly large cams)
Minor oil stain (maybe tiny leak)
Dent and rust on the jack point (left and right side)
Dents on the frame underneath
*Comment*
Dents/rust underneath is not that bad
Exterior is beautiful
Interior is very good
Overall opinion is good
--------------------------------------------
The car seems to be great value when u consider all the mods at a landed price of under $18k. Not sure if it really is an N1 engine tho. The rust is the thing that concerns me the most. From the pics, does it look like an expensive fix? Are the minor problems enough to worry about so that I should back out of it?
Would appreciate any comments/opinions u guys would be willing to offer.
Cheers,
Alan
