Recommended Posts

hey SAU,

Im interested in buying a 1990-1993 skyline r32 gtst... As we all know, they are fair old (about 16 years old :whistling:) and basically its hard to find one in good condition which will last me for the next three years. So here lies my question, should i look at ones being imported and complied? or go on sites such as carsales and the classified sections of sites such as SAU. Also if anyone knows any trusted garages / importers who import mint r32's plz post : >

Thanks guys!!!

hey.. I just went on carsales for mine.. it took a long time to find something in excellent condition, but if you're patient something will come up. I was thinking of importing one, but thought for the type of car it is, I would rather look it over in person and drive it myself before buying. If you're prepared to pay a little extra for one that someone is selling here already then do that for the sake of saving $$$ in the long run.

Best Way Of Purchasing A R32 In Good Cond.

go out and buy one of these

as soon as you get it you will need to bolt a few things on such a positron flux capacitor and ion matter distrubitor... repco stock them i believe... part number is BTF20193-A and BTF08073-PP

Your end product should look like this...

Now if you make it this far your doing well... once you have created this vehicle to the exact specifications you should be able to travel back in time to 1990-1993 and find one in better then good condition.

:) sorry... bored at work.

hey SAU,

Im interested in buying a 1990-1993 skyline r32 gtst... As we all know, they are fair old (about 16 years old :O) and basically its hard to find one in good condition which will last me for the next three years. So here lies my question, should i look at ones being imported and complied? or go on sites such as carsales and the classified sections of sites such as SAU.

:O C'mon man.

GODZILLLLAAA...Jks :/ Don't import one! Comliancing is a bitch.

You sure you want a 32? Or can I push you toward a 33? Huh HUH!

;) Carsales/Trading post...Hop to it.

hey, i bought my 32 not too long ago it was in great condition.

i wouldnt recommend importing one because i just personally dont like tha fact of not being able to see the car drive it check it out myself etc... however there are professionals who look em ova so thats a plus.

if your worried about importing one and it stuffn up well when i got my 32 about a few days after the turbo seals went and i think the piston #6 f**ked up, probably my fault for dragging but who knows if that was the cause.

ive learnt my lesson from it :)

morale of the story is if its gonna die its gonna die weather it be local or import, what i am going to do with my next car is compression test the sucker.....just make sure you have say 3000 left over in case something happens.

as for a 32 or maybe a 33 i prefer the 32's looks sexier , tougher more stylish but i would kill for the 33 interior heeh

let us know how you go and what you get..

stay safe

hehe yeah s2000 is a chick..

umm

thanks for hte replies guys! well ive found an r32 which im really interested in and will probably endup buying! it is not imported, its local private sale. I have never bought a car before, so im abit vague on the whole process.. i want to get RACV to do a full test on it, and make sure everything is in good nick etc. should i get the seller to pay for this? or should i? also does anyone know if RACV perform compression tests?

thanks guys!!

RACV should do a compression check. Generally the buyer pays for it but worth the money if you're not sure.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
