If you read the ad, it says "R32 GT skyline (not hr33 GTS, sorry not avaliable on list)"

That just means that they don't know how to use a drop down menu, not that they don't know what the car is.

Fair enough, one is as bad as the other i guess, but regardless its a fishy smelling car!

I think the reason why its under r33 because he prob put one for sale on carsales ,and as they run it to you sell it for $10 he prob just edited the add and put his next car for sale !

4 stud wheels so can't put r33 gtst rims straight on lol

dont even bother wasting time going to look at the car.......unles u want to buy it and build it from the ground up.....there are better r32's out there.... or if you are after a non turbo, go for the 33 non turbo.

either way - if ur going to go have a look at it - up to u, but id say it will be a waste of time....

I went and had a look at this the other week and I wasnt really impressed with it. Plus being one of the last 32's I was under the impression it came with an RB25? As it clearly has an RB20 in it. Guys steer clear of this one unless you have plenty of cash to build up as the motor has a nasty knock in it too. I tried to check the VIN number on it too but it wasnt a normal VIN number. This car has been in the country since 1998 so maybe they had different VINS back then???

      It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!

      Oem radio & steering wheel shroud for r33 (vic)

      That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.

      I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
