I have seen it buzzing around a fair bit. It does sound like it moves when he boots it. I personally havent heard any problems about it. Alot of rumours around about how much power the thing actually makes, I got no idea on the facts so I won't say anything. It's neat though, only fault I could pick from a distance looking at it is that it's never had similar wheels (even in the photo in the paper they are odd) but if you're going to drift it then it wouldn't matter. Go check it out and let us know what ya think of it!

went and checked out car, not bad minor things needing doing, depends how much of a perfectionist you are, will be an alright buy for someone who wants some fun. there was just a few things i didnt like. if he wants the $15,000 for the car id suggest cleaning the engine bay n spraying the rocker.

thats interesting as im yet to see a cheaper r32 with an rb25. when you take a 10,000 r32 and put in a 5,000 r33 engine and g box plus the few thousand worth of engine mods than 15,000 doesnt sound to bat to me especialy when it is here in tassy with fresh rego and new tyres.

oh and im pretty sure the wheels are the same just the rears have dish.

if you want any specs of what it does have than feel free to ask me.

i actually asked around about the car and heard a few things and yeah it costs money to do the conversion but if you look at how much the car still needs spent on it is it worth it.

you are going to get that with any car you buy. lots of things to tidy up and change to suit you. like has been said befor the value for money realy is there and it doesnt cost much to tidy things up once you have a car compared to starting from scatch.

the engine has 85,000kms on it the chassis has 185,000 on it all the things are minor that need doing yes but changing most of the bushes and cleaning stuff up does cost money, im not saying its a bad car unless what ive been told is true but i wouldnt pay that much for the car and i did see it when it was for sale in Vic so i knoe how much they were asking for it, i also dont like the fact that it uses the microtech which has no afm but thats my personal oppinion, thats all i have to say on the car n i wish him luck with the sale

well in 2 years time he'll have some fun then. plenty of time for mates to drive it. thats all right though long as hes happy it all comes down to personal oppinion and he has plenty of time to work on the car now anyway. even if he has problems its still a skyline and not a crappy (insert car make of your choice)

      Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.

      Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5

      Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.

      You would need to paint your hardtop again though

      R32GTR R200 reverting from Nismo centre to stock

      I have an old R32 in the shed that hasnt moved much in the last few years and probably should see the light of day. At one point I had a Nismo 1.5 centre put in the rear diff. It is a clunky nightmare POS of a thing on a good day. To make it less painful the initial torque setting has been put on the minimum (7.0kgf-m, mid is 9.5, high is 14) and the oil changed out to something more slippery. But it is still awful and ruins the vibe of the thing. So my questions are: Given I have the original parts sitting in a box somewhere would it be better to rebuild the thing again, reverting to more purity? Is there a standard kit or do you just go and replace the friction plates etc and shim it the way you like it. How much initial torque does the standard R32 rear diff have? Or does the Nismo disc kit offer a better solution - the caveat being the initial torque for both options appears to be higher than the clunky 1.5 way. There appear to be two Nismo disc kits: 3843S-RS520 for 8kgf-m. 3843S-RS521 for 12kgf-m. Or is the easiest solution to reshim the Nismo diff to make it looser?
