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.

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
    • I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?
    • Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
