wow thanks for all the heads up guys, much appreciated sorry i havent replied for a few days, been over in adelaide for a holiday haha. ill be sure to check all that gear when i have a look at the R32 hopefully sometime this week. Its hard to get all the aircon, suspension check etc over here in pt lincoln because we dont really have any of it... we have mechanics... and bridgestone... thats about it... im definately taking it for an RAA check tho, thatll be sure to find any major major problems cheers Josh

cheers mate, i had a look at this before. im more looking for anything people have to say about the reliability of R32's coz i want it to last me through uni without much more than tyres and a service a couple of times a year lol

cheers mate, thanks for the good advice. i should be able to take the car for a drive next week sometime. im going to take one of my mechanic mates with me and take the car up to his pit to have a look for hidden nasty leaks. He's an RAA approved mechanic so i have faith in him ill most likely take the car down to his work and get him to do an 'internal inspection' aswell (RAA have fancy names lol) so he will be able to tell me if its had the guts flogged out of it or not. The seller seem pretty legit, his main reason is he wants an R33 GTR so im not questioning him haha. hes asking $7k which i think is reasonable, maybe a little on the cheap side but i still need to see what year it is and if he'll get a decent sized ding near the fuel flap repaired (poor bugger got reversed into by a tray top ute in a carpark) any other advice will be greatly appreciated Cheers Josh

sorry for reposting this topic, i forgot to scroll down in the forum section and posted it in the import section... my bad... (mods feel free to delete the topic in imports) anyway guys, as you can see by my avatar im a noob anyway, im looking at buying an R32 GTS-T and i wouldnt mind some opinions and things i should look out for. i need the car to last me through uni without having to spend a fortune on maintenance as ill be on a fairly tight budget. the r32 im looking at is in great condition, fairly low Km's, just been tuned on a dyno, new tyres, stock apart from an aftermarket exhaust/cannon from what ive been told by the seller. its auto but ill get over it. what is the fuel consumption like for an R32 and are there any things i should look out for when i get around to test driving this one? (specific problems ie. EXPENSIVE ones, reliability issues etc) i basically want to know as much as i can about the car before i go have a drive. my mate works next door to the seller and says he looks after it really well, always servicing it/washing it and he has personally looked over the car and says its pretty tidy. i DONT want to thrash it, drift it etc etc like most P platers do, the most itll get will be me having some fun on dirt in the first week i get it then thatll be it. im also not looking to mod it THAT much... FMIC at the MOST because ive heard the stock cooler on R32's aint that great...(plus as i said, ill be on a tight budget because of uni and living costs) i just want the assurance that the car wont break down on me and cost me thousands that i wont be able to afford ill be taking it over my mates (who happens to be a mechanic ) house when i test drive it as he has a pit in his shed to have a look at the underside of the engine an suspension etc. any discussion is welcome as most google searches come up with people trying to sell me stuff for an R32 cheers Josh
