100+ k's on r32

[Bro]

I'm in the market for a r32 (gts-t) and have found what appears to be a nice example. My only query is it has ~125k's on the clock. What are people opinions on this much km's on a r32? anyone have this amount on their current car, how does it go, what things should I look out for etc, thanks.

well dude realistically look at other cars of that vintage .... they have like 120k+ in 90% of cases.... my 93 r32 has 130k and has no probs at all.... u can wreck a car in 10k or have a 150k car maintain and look after it and be better than one that has done half the kms.......have a good general look at the car id say it probably has the REAL amount of kms not like some other imports......(not trying to start a fight either lol)

Agreed.

125 000 on a R32 would average out to be 11 000 per year, well below the average for a years driving.

The only thing with a car of that age is you'll need to spend some money on stuff like suspension, etc etc....Its no great drama.

My 1994 R33 GTSt has 121 000 kays on it...Still going great!

Yeah they are all right, provided it has been maintained you should'nt have any probs, my 32 has 112 000 and it hasn't missed a beat.

Sadly to say, my R32 just pasted the 100,000 mark yesterday.

But not to worry, I m getting parts tomorrow night to give her a crazy service.

And maybe a rub down too.

Mines now done 107,000 and its pulling like a train. I had a problem a while back with 2 exhaust valves burning but it was mainly due to previous owners mistreatment with too much boost. However when we pulled apart the head and bottom end to do the work we found the rest of the motor was in pristine condition, everything within spec.

I think you'll find unless you severely mistreat a jap motor, most of them wont have any wear of significant value until you hit 150+.

I had an SR20DE pulsar that had done 240,000 and still didnt burn oil and was just as quick as the day i bought it.
