well.....i notice that it doesn't say anything about freshly rebuilt so lets assume it isn't. Together with a laggy drag strip T88 turbo it would be a pain to drive and also a time bomb :D

As for a reliable inspection take it to one of the workshops that knows skylines and have them have a look at it, Nathan at Grey Imports would be my choice but also UAS in castle hill, Autosport Engineering at Kirawee etc etc

Ive seen the add for that car at Autostyle for the last few months. As far as i know its still got a stock RB26, so with 450AWKW its gonna need a rebuild sooner rather than later. Prolly why the owner got rid of it after haveing some fun with it. One of the forum memebrs is selling his R32GTR in Carpoint.com, its got a fresh engine rebuild with strengthened internals and a big assed t04z, all for 34K.

Good price IMO.

Theres quite a few big turboed equipped GTR's running around on stock engines that are now up for sale before the owner has to invest in the engine...

For 35K id want a fresh engined R32 GTR.....

Tick Tick Tick....

Seriously, Autostyle build cars for one reason and one reason only, to go really fu*$ing fast, now do you want something which is going to be accommodating more to the drag strip or daily driver....? Because this car isn't both.

Don't get me wrong, sounds wicked, but just not appropriate for a daily driver me thinks, particularly with a T88 strapped to it...

Eek thats my GTR with the T04Z :O

Anyone actually dealt with Autostyle? Thinking of consigning my car over to them....

Hey Morgs, ive dealt with Autostyle before. I bought my GTR off them, Dom Russo is a nice bloke and i found him to be honest. Depsite not haveing to, he payed for some repairs to my car a few days after i bought it when it broke down on me, despite not haveing a warranty, which i thought was pretty good of him.

I traded my highly modified Mazda GTR to them aswell which saved me the hassle of selling a car that would of been difficult.

If/When the day comes to sell my GTR im pretty sure ill let someone like Autostyle sell it for me. Let them advertise and give up their time for potential buyers. Plus id be shit scared of being jumped for the car if i was selling it privately. When Jimbo and his 2 mates covered in tatts turn up and want a test drive, id be getting pretty nervous!!!! They do take a commision, but im not sure of the %. If the GTR isnt your daily driver then id give it a go, if its your sole transport then its not really an option...

Cheers, good luck with the sale... :)

This is not meant to be a slur on Autostyle as i know Dominic and respect his business....

but.....

Autostyle import their stock directly from Japan, and apart from tiding up the cars for sale....rarely have any input into the cars build....hence you are purchasing a car with limited knowledge of its history...this is part of the reason why the cars have such an attractive price tag attached.

With all performance purchases its buyer beware...as that cheap car can very quickly send you broke.

This example would be a great buy for someone with the finances to pull the engine give it a stengthen and freshen up so they are confident of trouble free motoring.

after seeing how hard they drive the cars at events like powercruise - I personally wouldn't buy one from them..

and - and would anyone recommend some other alternative to a an inspector rather then NRMA you being serious??

Selling a car through them is probably different to buying one from them..

      How much roughly to convert stock r32gtr to single high mount turbo + ecu and tune

      By The Bogan · Posted

      As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car

      Any feedback on GReddy Turbine Kit T620Z in r33 GTST/RB25DET?

      By R3N3 · Posted

      For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By R3N3 · Posted

      +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
