Franks , I have owned 7 x R32 GTR's for various periods of time.

They are tough in the drivetrain except that 3 have needed clutches when they arrived.

Most of them over 80K have 1 or more front driveshaft boots split.

The airflow meters play up occassionally , especially when cold.

Most have had some panel and /or paint ( yes , even the grade 3.5 /4 ) and virtually all have some aftermarket pipes , gauges etc.

If you find a genuine , original , low KM one in Japan , expect to pay 1.5 mil yen or more. Even the Japs like the good ones.

Cheers

Ken

Just wanted to ask GTRKEN, In ur opinion...wouldn't the price and abundance of these 89 model GTR's bring the market value down on the current 92-94 model R32's? Excluding say the V-Specs & the Oz delivered models. Im talking about the regular jo-blo one's. IMHO, when it comes to buying an R32 GTR it still would seem better to go for the 92-93 models that have already been imported - At least you can get the drive and feel of the car plus all the necessary tests checked out here. The biggest plus with getting the 89 model would be the price difference, 10 grand is usually what makes or breaks the financial situation (plus anything that needs fixing). Its so tempting to go an 89 one tho coz they are virtually the same car - just a lot older. But i guess its all horses for courses...who's o say an earlier model GTR is any more strapped than a later one?

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
