id just hit carsales/trading post, and look everyday.

its tuff to find a nice clean example of a 32gts-t

good luck.

Ditto, when looking for mine, I would look on carsales week after week and most of the cars I would not even consider looking at or they were too expensive. If you are like me you will want a stock one that is less likely to have been driven to the sh*t, but its not easy.

All I can say is be patient, the right one will come and you will know it is what you want! Best of luck and when you get it make sure you post up pics in the 'r32 pics only' thread in the photography section of this site....

i reckon buying cars advertised on forums is not really a good idea, cars are pretty much overpriced because there are alot of enthisiats that think that their car is worth alot more than what they really are, i mean common its late 80's to early 90s car. Just browse them to get a fair idea.

I like to think and im sure alot of people agree that R32s and R33a are not worth alot nowadays.

I bought my R33 GTST series 2 with 76 thousand genuine kms and a 16 month mechanical warranty for 10 Thousand. Off carsguide. your best bet is sites like this, carsales, drive etc etc

Trust me, youl find the right one, and if you call up thinking you found the perfect car, then the owner tells you its sold, dont giveup, youl find a better one at a better price!

Good luck mate.

haha, the hunt for the perfect r32. I think every r32 owner have gone months searching for the best one. Took me probably a year of searching. Best place is carsales and SAU/nissansilvia. Carsales always have overpriced r32's but usually good bargains pop up.

Try to stay away from most import dealers, although SSV on princess highway seems like one of the only trusted dealers floating around.

Any car you decide to buy, first take to an import mechanic for pre-inspection, take to an ac workshop for a pre-inspection and maybe even a tyre/suspenion workshop for a pre-inspection.

That way you can find any hidden problems with the car :P

Although, maybe your budget is too low to find a decent r32? r32's range from $9000 to $15,000 and if your budget is the low $9k dont expect a decent model.

Cheers

Edit:

SSV is located at the corner of Huntingdale Road and Princess Hwy on the direction towards Dandenong. It is right after the junction, so you gotta keep left before you see the lights.

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
