It is time for me to get rid of my R32 GTR to make room for a more suitable family car. I have previously had my car on the market at what I thought was a reasonable price, with not even a bite. I've also been watching carsales and the trader forum here and there seems to be a fair few of these cars on the market, and not a lot of them actually being sold. Do other people think that it is fair to say that the market is in a bit of oversupply at the moment? I am really considering doing a trade in at a local dealer. I know that you never get the same value that you could in a private sale, but honestly it seems that I would have to drop the price down to not much more than trade in value to get a private sale anyway. The other important consideration is that I won't have to go through the effort of getting a roadworthy and possibly having to fix some issues. I don't think there is anything big that needs to be done, but the RWC guys always seem to find some problem, no matter what the condition of the car. I presently have my eye on a car at a dealer, the only issue is that the price of the car is about the same as the trade in value. If I do a trade in for a car that is pretty much the same value, the dealer is obviously going to want to make some money, so what is the minimum difference that they will usually accept for a trade in?

Yeah they must have done something with the wheel alignment, when i say light acceleration makes it understeer, I'm talking abou the slightest pressure on the pedal. Well I'll get it into a proper suspension shop and get them to check it out. Next time I'll spend a little more on the tyres.

I've got no problem spending an extra $20-30 a corner, but it is a bit stupid to say that without giving some examples of better tires for that amount of money. I'm not going to go a spend a few hundred per corner, I don't drive my car hard enough to warrant it. It is my daily driver to and from work. I just expect to be able to drive around a round about without heading for the gutter even at very low speeds. It has been a problem since them were put on the car, perhaps the tyre shop hasn't been doing a very good job at wheel alignments.

I've been running these Federal 595 SS tyres for a while on my R32 GTR. In the dry they aren't too bad, although they aren't amazing, but in the wet I feel like I'm driving on ice. Even minor acceleration around a round about and I'm understeering towards the gutter. The back end can be a little skittish too, but that is quickly corrected by the 4wd sending power to the front, which then makes it under steer like crazy. The tyres it had on previously were no name chinese tyres, so I'm not really sure if I'm expecting too much of it. I plan to take it in for a wheel alignment this week. Has anyone else had experience with these tyres and found them ghastly? Would the Kumho KU31 be any better?

I need to get some touch up paint to fix up a small area on my front lip prior to sale. The car is a 1992 R32 GTR with a paint code of AN0, which is called wine red. The problem is that there is also a super clear red AN0 for the R33. Looking at the touch up paint it doesn't look like it will match mine. How come two different colour have the same code? Any ideas for getting a touch up paint that will match the R32 AN0?

JZP, can I ask how long you have had it advertised for and what your initial listing price was? You probably don't want to post that information on the public area here, but if you could PM it to me that would be useful. I think perhaps the lack of a RWC is holding you back from selling it? I'm going to be getting a RWC for mine because most buyers are just not interested in taking that risk.

Never had a run in while driving my skyline, but when I had my 180sx I had a couple of good ones. First one was being tailgated on a single lane section of road. Guy was right up my ass, yelling and waving his hands trying to tell me to get out of the way. It was a 60 zone and I was doing a bit above that. Further ahead the road became double lanes and about 50m before then I caught up to the guy in front of me. I chose the right hand lane while the guy in front of me went in to the left. I dropped back so that I was sitting behind the the guy in the left lane, but not leaving enough room for the bogan commodore driver behind me to get past us. He pulled up and started abusing me, typical rubbish telling me to pull over to fight him etc. I grabbed a whole handful of silver coins out of my center console and hurled them at his car, downshifted and planted my foot on the accelerator. Second occassion was on the freeway with four lanes of traffic. The three lanes on the left hand were going about 90 and I got into the furtherest right lane and was sitting on 110. I looked in my rear view mirror and watched this guy in a Jag come flying up from out of nowhere. He must have been doing over 150 because of how quick he came up behind me. Same stupid thing, honking, flashing his lights, yelling, waving his fists to get me to pull over. I ignored him and sat on 110 for about ten minutes. During that time he must have tried to get past me about half a dozen times, getting into the left lane and trying to get ahead. It never worked for him, he kept getting caught up in the traffic and ending up behind me again. Finally he got beside me and swerved at me a number of times, trying to run me off the road. Then he pulled in front of me and slammed on his brakes. I had already been slowing down to give myself some room from this looney luckily, so I stopped about 4m behind his car. Traffic in the other 3 lanes still going at 90 so I couldnt just switch lanes and take off. Then this guy gets out, some huge islander guy carrying a little metal bat. I was really running out of options as the guy approached me. There was a fairly wide shoulder on my right, enough to get a car down, but that's where this idiot was walking towards my car. I decided stuff it, if it was going to him or me, I'd rather it was him. I put my foot down on the accelerator, started feeding the clutch out and just hoping that he would get out of my way. The guy shit his pants and jumped onto his car to get out of the way as I came screaming past. I lost sight of him in the rear view as he was getting back in his car, never saw him again.

Yeah, personally I was thinking around 15k. Like I said, there are no others for sale locally that I know of, so in some ways that should work in my favour. On the other hand, could mean that there is not much demand locally. There is a r33 gtr locally for 20k. The closest r32 gtr for sale is 400km away with 17k on it., there is also a r33 gtr for sale there for 18k. About 600km away there are two r32 gtrs for sale listed at 20k, although they are heavily modified by the looks of it.

What is a fair market price for my R32 GTR? It is a 1992 model, Red, imported, approximately 150,000km. When it was imported it came with a good quality Jap catback, 18" Enkei wheels and HKS coilovers. Since then I have upgraded the coilpacks, ignition module, clutch and fuel pump. Replaced clutch because it was slipping, replaced the rest because of the standard skyline misfire. Turned out in my case to be the ignition module. Overall the car is in a good condition for its age, I wouldn't say that it is immaculate but it's certainly not as rough as some 1992 examples. I'm not in a rush to sell, but at the same time I don't want it to be sitting on the market for a year while people wait for the price to drop and drop. I live in a regional area, population of about 200,000. There are no other GTR's on the market here at the moment, or for some time now. The sale price will include a Nistune chip, software, cable and wideband AFR meter. None have these have ever been installed on the car. So what is a fair price that it will sell for?

Yeah but the poster has replaced his coilpacks not too long ago. I would definately be looking at other options rather than replacing them again. Wouldn't hurt to try a friends known good ignition module and see if it helps. Same for coilpacks, best to identify the problem before throwing money at it.

Why shouldn't it fit? The coil packs are located externally and then they just use leads from the coil pack to the spark plug. Here is the link to the wasted spark setup diy: Wasted Spark DIY. Don't do it on my say so, I have never tried it but seems like it shouldn't be a fitment issue judging by that thread.

Do they have online store? Link?

Could be ignition module. I did the same as you, changed coil packs, changed spark plugs and changed coil pack loom. Each time it seemingly got better but would always come back. Turned out to be dud ignition module. Everyone seems to think that sticking splitfires in is a magical cure all for misfires. It's a load of garbage.

If you can afford it, get some new OEM coil packs. Otherwise JJR ones are fine. Splitfires are over rated. The people frothing about how splitfires are so great are just trying to justify wasting an extra $100 or so.

You can purchase them directly from Bosch? I thought that they only sold through distributors.
