GTR75

Check out the cover of the lastest Auto Salon Magazine. R32's rule now and hopefully still will in 10 years!!

Good to hear, lads. Yes, I think they'll be a classic. At least as good as an XU-1. Hopefully the price will start going up!

Maybe R34's will be cheap...but they didn't win Bathurst.

Lads, Do you think you'll still be driving, or want to be driving, an R32 GTR in 10 years time? Do you think they'll still be a viable road car? Do think anyone will want to buy one in 2018? Will they still be a bang for your buck icon that they are now?? Any thoughts...

Cheers guys. Yes it will be taken care of and not thrashed. The one I like has got a Power Fc with the hand controller so the first thing I'll do is get a sensible safe base tune. Of course I'll have a map for some decent boost and power but it will rarely be used. I want a GTR R32 because I don't think there's better car available for the money. The options for performance seem to be endless...unlike my cash flow unfortunately!! And the Bathurst legend is undeniable. No offence to owners of later models but in my opinion the R32 is king.

Thanks guys. How long do you get out of the turbos? This car I'm looking at has Garrett 2860r turbos and all the major componentry has been replaced or upgraded in the past 12 months. Like I said, I drive pretty conservatively so I'm not stressing the turbos or gearbox compared with someone who just thrashes their car on the weekend. Also, what is the fuel consumption like on a GTR when their not being pushed hard? I'm sure people are thinking that if I'm worried about trivial things like longevity and fuel use then I should get a Corrolla but I just want to have my cake.....

Guys, I'm thinking about buying an R32 GTR but I would like to know people's thoughts on whether it could be a reliable daily driver. I've been reading the threads about maintenance and the lemons that are out there but no one really mentions anything about driving one day in day out. Assuming you buy a genuine car in the first place with the usual replacement parts added, is there any inherent problem with the engine or componetry that common fails?? The car I'm looking at is modified but all work has been done over here within the last 16months. I've taken it for a good drive and all seems fine. Feels solid on the road, no shakes or noises and the gearbox feels okay. I don't thrash the crap out of cars (that's what motorbikes are for!) so is there any reason I shouldn't get good longevity out of an R32 even driving it everyday??
