Yea, Pete, I thought you didn't use that useless center pedal!

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

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?
