Hi All,

I'm a medium time lurker, first time poster.

I am finally taking the plunge and buying an R32 GTR.

I should pick it up on Saturday(Tomorrow)....details and pics can be seen in the buyers post here:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...=147526&hl=

So it is with much anticipation, excitement and a bit of "oh my god, how much is this actually gonna cost me to maintain", that I say hello to all.

I look forward to sharing experiences, knowledge and cruises with you!

Fraser.

nb, but 30k for a 32 GTR? I suppose its had good engine work done to it, id love that engine personally, but the suspension looks to be stock along with the ride hight, and it needs the rear wing.

That being said the interior looks shmick and it looks to be in top condition, good buy man :D wana swap? :)

man looks bloody awesome!

just remove that tape / whatever that is making those terrible eyelids on the front headlights and you have yourself a beast

nice to see some good GTRs going around.. its terrible the amount of shit quality GTRs selling for cheap these days.

Congratulations on your purchase Fraser :D

If you open your wallet right now and you currently have money in there, take photos as you'll probably never see money in there again :(

Welcome and enjoy!

Cheers,

Karen

PS. just joking about the wallet thing...looks like you have yourself a very nice machine ;)

Nice Gtr good luck with it, oh defective on pilar guages, in sight of a crash impact zone, just remember that you can get defected for it. Part from that welcome to the skyline world, and hope to see ya on some cruises. Just dont turn to the dark side and goto BC :|. Sau is the place to be

DAMN it a RICE gtr.. ewww

looks good. u got urself a VSPec 2 which supposively is no better than the garden variety.. just different large brakes. and suspension and styling mods.. well worth it in the end.. 2-5k just for a badge..:)

And active diff!

Nice car engine wise...not loving the white bits inside but hey I would live with it for the engine!

and lets not forget the far quicker processing attesa computer. . . . .

The vspec version of all the gtrs is a far better car, especially at the track and in wet condition and they are MUCH easier to drive. . . . . Not to mention the how rare a genuine 32 vspec 2 is to find. Good buy mate, It is basically a 32 gtr with 33 gtr vspec running gear, great combo.

Thank you all for the encouragement and advice.

I like the white interior...but we'll see how easy it is to live with. The rear wing has been put back on so i'll see which I prefer (on or off).

Oh, and I do not beleive it to be a VSpecII.

While it has the brembo brakes strut braces, I'm sure the vspecII's didnt come out in '92.

The only remaining way I have is to check the codes printed on the attessa controller methinks....

To me, The brakes were the most important part of the VSpec.

I'll let you know how it goes!

Cheers

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
