Hey guys, i am very happy 2 say dat I am at last a prowd owner of a R32 GTR!! U guys have no idea how bloody rapt i am! Anyways, I had a few questions to ask, how do i turn off the 4WD light in my dash,wont turn off?? does anyone have any problems wit GTR gearbox/transmission? cause my 1 is much louder once it hits 4gear.. and da transmission in general is noisy.

I live in melb, does ne1 no of a place where i can take it 2 get it lookd at and if possible get it roadworthy? I have to get a roadworthy, as i bought it at a auction. U guys would never guess how much i picked it up 4!.....hmmm... $14,750! dunno wat u guys think but i reckon dats a bargain!

Congrats, and wish you best of luck.

Search for 4WD fault and you might find answers.

Computer in the boot that had light that flashes red will tell you fault codes.

Do a major service and change all oils, engine oil, front and rear diff oil, gbox and transfer case oil and flush coolant.

4 th gear usualy noisy at low rpm for older gboxes(wear and tear).

I hope you have some money left over to fix up any problems that may or may not come up. Just the nature of the beast!!

MAte, bring it to NISMO in Sushine and ask for a friendly bloke by the name of FREDDIE - say KEVIN with the Black R33 referred you... he'll look after you - the only officially authorised Nismo dealer in Australia. I think it's your gear box - needs a check up etc... good luck...

Jump on whitepages.com.au and do a search for Nismo for contact details.

Wow...you must have some balls to buy an R32 GTR on an auction....some old GTR can be nightmares to maintain...hence the term "the GTR ownes you"......this may may not happen to you...good luck though.....

check for compression and leak down test....also full service...hope it 'snot haffing any blue smoke or and the lower bearing are going strong still....

enjoy the Godzilla... :(

welcome to the gtr club

first off you need to do all the cars fluids and get it dialed in on a dyno to make sure everything is working properly, timing belt is cheap insurance aswel. should cost around $1000 maybe a little more.

they will be able to check out your tranny aswel

I took my car to Melbourne Performance centre (talk to Lee, he is a real champ and very helpfull)

http://melbourneperformance.com/

you picked up a cheap car, fingers crossed it is in sound condition as they can be a real money pit, I paid $23k for mine but its an pretty awesome condition for a car of its age.

good luck with your new toy, and enjoy :P

Hey,

Did you pay that price here in Oz or had one landed and complied for that straight from japan?

nice....

any pics....

you just joined, and have posted the exact same thing on boost, are you fishing for something?? do you think we are going to react the same....

Show use what $15K GTR looks like please as i'm about to spend $19K buying one i might have to reconsider if yours is better than the one i'm looking at.....

1 of 2 things happend here...1) you got lucky with a cheap car (doesn't sound like this is you) 2) you paid a small price for a car thats going to cost you a fortune to fix...its been used in RWD mode, obviously for a while, gearbox sounds like it has issues at best....i think it's going to be trouble street for you mate. Start working extra shifts...because its going to cost you lots. Btw "da" isn't a real word and neither are a lot of the other ones you use...grammar is your friend...good luck with the car...and good luck getting insurance as you sound like your straight out of (or still in school) and you won't be getting cheap insurance on a GTR under 25....that 2.5k will probably pay your first year if your lucky though..

I understand this post may seem a little harsh, but i'm a realist.

    • Very nice - I also have a 92 GTST and hardly see any others around these days
    • When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners
    • I need to edit some videos for work but I'm not good at all this. Which video editor can you recommend?
    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
